Kerhonkson, New York | $1.1 million
A circa 1720 farmhouse with four bedrooms and two bathrooms on three acres.
Named after the prominent families who occupied the estate before, during, and after the Revolutionary War, Depuy-Duit House is built around a fir and chestnut house built by French Huguenots in the 1680s. I did. The sellers, who bought the property in 2010, have taken great care to preserve its character, with original details such as wide pine plank floors and fir ceiling beams.
This home is a 5-minute drive from diners, wine shops, and antique stores in the heart of Kerhonkson, as well as the Soyuzivka Heritage Center, a Ukrainian cultural center and popular wedding venue. It takes about an hour and a half to drive to Albany. It takes about 2 and a half hours to get to New York City.
