Why we have a crush on this property

Owning a farmhouse in upstate New York is the dream, right? How about a Gothic one that’s painted black and was renovated by an artist? With a breezy porch out front? Now that’s the ultimate dream.

Set on two leafy acres in a town not far from the Hudson River, this 1870s construction flaunts a slew of impressive features. First, there’s what’s called the grand hall. It spans the length of the entire house, letting in light from all angles. Off of this hall is the updated kitchen, which offers barn doors and a sizable island. Beyond it, there’s a dining nook with bench seating, though the home also offers a fireplaced formal dining room that opens to a colorful living room.

Upstairs, four large bedrooms boast unique light fixtures, ceiling medallions, and gleaming wide-plank hardwoods. Another staircase leads to the unfinished attic, which could be converted into a home office or studio with soaring ceilings.

The outside of the farmhouse is impressive, too. The property counts a chicken coop, a stone patio, and a fire pit among its outdoor amenities. A red barn with a lofted second story rounds out the package.
