Home Details for 16 Carlson Road

A little bit of magic lives at 16 Carlson Road. Built in 1850, this charming home feels like something out of a fairytale, surrounded by nearly nine acres of mature gardens and old-growth trees. Walking paths wind through the acreage, and the beautifully established landscape gives the property a character all its own. While the history of the home is felt throughout, recent thoughtful updates have been made, creating comfortable, beautifully considered spaces while preserving the character that makes it so special. Inside, natural light fills the rooms, with skylights overhead and windows framing views of the surrounding gardens. The main level unfolds through a series of inviting spaces, including a sunroom, formal and informal dining rooms, and a living room anchored by a wood-burning stove. A deck just off the dining room sits beneath an extraordinary mature hydrangea, creating a natural canopy for long summer lunches and dinners outside. The primary suite is on the main level, with radiant floor heating extending through both the bedroom and spacious bathroom. Two generously sized walk-in closets provide ample storage, while French doors open directly onto a bluestone patio. Just off the bedroom, a charming home office with built-ins makes working from home feel decidedly less like work. Upstairs, two sun-filled bedrooms share a bathroom with a clawfoot tub, with ample storage throughout. The property also includes two outbuildings: a one-car garage and a separate garage/workshop with a loft above, ready for projects, studio space, or whatever creative pursuits the property inspires. Just five minutes from the Harlem Valley Metro-North station, the property offers easy access to New York City, with Grand Central just over two hours away. Wassaic Metro-North is 20 minutes away, with Kent, Connecticut just 10 minutes away and Millbrook approximately 25 minutes. It’s a rare kind of Hudson Valley retreat, where beautiful gardens, a sense of history, and just a little everyday magic come together.
