Farmhouse Germantown (United States)
Bonny's Farmhouse is a charming and remarkably well-preserved 19th-century home situated on two idyllic acres off a dead-end road on the outskirts of Germantown's historic center. The Home Built in 1894 for Philip W. Rockefeller III, the property has only seen a few families at its helm over nearly a century and a half. Decades of thoughtful ownership are evident in the abundance of unspoiled historical details that adorn this light-filled home, the highlight of which is, without a doubt, the beautifully maintained original millwork throughout. The ground floor at Bonny's Farmhouse is vibrant, each room with its own purpose. The expansive front living room with wood-paneled ceilings floods with sunlight throughout the day, perfect for lazy mornings and afternoons, while a dark-hued parlor towards the back begs for evening cocktails and snug nights in. The kitchen is bright and expertly renovated, with views of the oldest trees on the property and its own exit to the home's gardens. An inherently social space, the kitchen has wide doorways opening to both the dining room and the parlor. A screened-in porch surrounded by hydrangeas completes the first floor. Upstairs, the bedrooms are grand in scale and lined with windows facing surrounding lush treetops. There are several large built-in closets, a rarity in a home of this vintage, as well as ornate radiators, beautiful original wood floors, and tall ceilings. A golden-hued office can also be used as a nursery or walk-in closet. Stairs lead up from the second floor to the spacious attic with a stained glass window, currently utilized as storage but could be restored into a dream studio or an additional bedroom. The Grounds Walking trails meander through the property's 2 acres, lined by ancient Catalpa and Oak trees and berry bushes. One of the paths leads to a large clearing with a fire pit, a historic equipment barn, and ample room for a vegetable and flower garden. A two-car garage with carriage doors and multiple windows would make for a perfect workshop or artist's studio. The Region Bonny's Farmhouse is just moments away from Germantown mainstays like Otto's Market and Gaskins, and a short drive from our favorite farmstands (Montgomery Place Orchards and Morningstar Farms), beautiful Hudson River estates and gardens open to the public (Clermont State Historic Site, Olana, and Montgomery Place Gardens), and the Hudson Valley's most beloved towns (Hudson, Tivoli, and Red Hook). The History This exquisite farmstead is deeply embedded in the fabric of Germantown's 20th-century history. Philip W. Rockefeller III and his wife Margaret E. Miller built the house in the late 1800s, where they would then have and raise their only child, Lila Bonny. Lila lived almost the entirety of her life at this house, from her birth in 1896 to her passing in 1991. After a brief stint away from Germantown, Lila returned, newly wedded to her husband Harold Denegar, upon the death of her father Phillip in 1921. Harold would later become the Postmaster at the local Germantown post office, and the couple would live, work, and raise their families through a world war and the Great Depression alongside the Lashers, the Lawrences, the Millers, and Coons - other founding families of the town. Lila and Harold had two children, Harold Russell ‘Russ’ and Vernon. Harold, who went by Russ because his mother Lila didn’t love the idea of two Harolds in the same family, was very involved in documenting his family's time spent in their quaint farmhouse. In an interview, Russ described the tomato farm lined with raspberry bushes overlooking the Hudson River that his parents owned and how he would often come home to his mother canning tomatoes and cooking down berries for jam. While undoubtedly a home well-suited to modern life, the traces of this rich history can be felt at every corner of this exceptional property.

Farmhouse with pool Red Hook (United States)
A sprawling farmhouse set on ten acres with a pond and heated saltwater pool, perfectly situated in the Hudson Valley between Rhinebeck and Hudson. Set back from the road down a long, circular driveway, the home is framed by willow trees and blooming perennials, and the whimsical covered porch is reminiscent of iconic Southern architecture. Enter through a mudroom into a wide, gracious foyer where the original tin ceiling is still perfectly intact and painted a luminous glossy white that sends natural light dancing about the space. A classic four-square configuration, you’ll find four rooms off of the central hall. The kitchen sits in the northeastern section of the south-facing home, it is designer renovated perfection with custom, inset cabinetry and a plate rack hung above the farmhouse sink that looks to be plucked right out of a Cotswolds cottage. You’ll find a Wolf range, loads of storage, integrated appliances and a large center island. The kitchen leads into the dining room where a Brooklyn artist has handprinted a mural to cover the walls and painted the ceiling a bright and unexpected pop of green. Across the central hall lies a light filled, large living room with build in cabinetry and a woodburning stove. This area leads into the study, painted a moody blue which contrasts beautifully with the bright home. Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms. The primary suite features exposed beams on the ceiling and a wonderfully sizable walk-in closet. The ensuite primary bathroom has a soaking tub, a separate shower lined in handmade tiles, and jack-and-jill sinks. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath off of the hallway, and another ensuite bedroom lies at the back of the house next to the laundry room. The magic is in the details here, with hardware from Waterworks, unlaquered brass light switches from Forbes and Lomax, and vintage lighting sourced primarily from Italy. Brand new mechanicals. Outside, a sundrenched backyard is the perfect backdrop for the heated, gunite, saltwater pool overlooking a beautiful pond. The ten acre parcel is private and wonderfully dynamic with lawn, woods and water. 2h to NYC and 15m to Amtrak and in the Red Hook school district, this house is pure Hudson Valley charm.
