Historic Silvermine, was originally an enclave of artists and millers and is today one of the loveliest and most desirable neighborhoods in the county. Stroll through the neighborhood and enjoy all that this lush rural area has to offer, including the rambling Silvermine River and waterfalls, Grey Barns Tavern, and the 98-year old Silvermine Guild of Artists. Stop across the street breakfast or lunch at the Silvermine Market. Each season brings its own natural beauty. Come home to this charming antique farmhouse, impeccably maintained throughout - it's a perfect place to sit back and relax, inside or out. The sun-filled living room, with its floor to ceiling brick fireplace, opens to a dining room with bow windows and its own brick fireplace. The country kitchen flows into a breakfast/den area with vaulted ceiling and exposed brick and beams. Enjoy the private, park-like backyard with friends from the cozy covered brick patio. The deep grassy, tree-filled lot offers plenty of room recreation. Views of the rambling river are just across the avenue, yet the home sits high and does not require flood insurance. Many distinctive features make this lovely 1915 farmhouse a pleasure to own. A huge, deep detached 2-car garage/barn has extra space for possible workshop, studio or office. Set back from the road, the long driveway and turnout offer plenty of off-street parking. Only one hour from NYC, this antique farmhouse is an ideal commutable home or a perfect country retreat.
