Country Chic


I'm smitten. Something about this listing really gets me. It could be the fact that the picture-perfect 1790 colonial is loaded with original charm and details like wide-board floors and paneling. Or perhaps it's how seamlessly the 2,600 square foot, 4 bedroom home blends rustic charm with modern details like the crisp kitchen and the swanky shower. The tastefully understated decor—while slightly drab—is certainly working for me, too. There's also the fact that the home is set on an astounding 18 acres of rolling farmland and comes with a two bedroom cottage and an artist studio. The location, on one of Katonah's charming back roads not far from the village, is certainly a plus, too. Fortunately, the asking price and tax bill—$35,107—is so far beyond my reach that all I can do is dream. $2,495,000

This is really nice. Very well done renovation. And that is a lot of land! But that is a lot of money right now. I bet this takes a long time to sell--and sells for a little under 2 million.
