Welcome to Tilden Crossing House, a distinctive country home with old-world charm. Privately sited down a long, gravel, wildflower-lined drive on over seven acres of pastoral Columbia County landscape, the property offers a unique approach to architectural storytelling through its carefully selected vintage elements. The 3,350-square-foot center-hall residence captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship through wide-plank floors, ornate moldings, an intricately carved banister, and rough-hewn beams that conjure days gone by. The main level offers living and dining rooms with working fireplaces, complemented by a sun-filled library featuring built-in bookcases. A fully renovated kitchen anchors the home's contemporary functionality, with stone counters, a Wolf range, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Recently added windows and updated interior lighting enhance the space, creating a warm and inviting environment. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms include a primary suite with a wood-burning fireplace and ridgeline views. Both full bathrooms have been tastefully updated, while a finished basement provides over 600 square feet of flexible living space, with a laundry room, half bath, storage, and plenty of room for recreation. The exterior showcases a standing-seam metal roof, new siding and paint, and carefully landscaped garden beds. A heated gunite pool with a retractable cover stands as the property's centerpiece. Flanked by a huge bluestone patio and surrounded by a white picket fence and mature trees, it's a sparkling oasis for hosting epic dinner parties, or getting lost in a book on the chaise.
