Purchased by the Foster family in 1790, this property encompassed the majority of what is now the Historic Hamlet of Hillsdale. Sited in the center of the Hamlet, this Greek Revival home, built in 1810 by Isaac Foster, who inherited the land from his father. Prior to 1790, the property was in the family of Catherine Van Renssalaer Schuyler - mother-in-law of Alexander Hamilton.

All new appliances were installed, including an upstairs laundry space with stacked Samsung washer and dryer. The walls, plaster and paint have been fully re-finished. Antique glass was used to restore the period windows, and original wood flooring was kept and restored to offer warm and cozy interiors. Upon entering, there are warm oak floors, view of both the living-room and formal dining room, windows’ with unique casings, an example of Greek Revival design, and the fireplace features two original miniature carved Greek friezes guarding either end of the mantel.

House Copake (United States)
Towards the end of Sky Top Road and tucked away at the end of a long driveway sits The Nine-Square House. A modernist masterpiece, the home is perched amidst dramatic natural topography with magnificent views of the Taconic Hills. The Nine-Square House was born of a several-year-long collaboration between a multi-disciplinary artist/designer and an esteemed architect. The result is an immensely livable and sustainable 3,900 square-foot home that carefully balances the relationship between its well thought out interiors and the surrounding wooded landscapes and impressive open views of multiple mountain ranges. Every feature of the home was conceived to be both functional and pleasing to the eye; after all, the team behind the house spent more than two years planning a design that addressed every conceivable ergonomic and environmental question. The nine-square philosophy of living is very much felt in the distribution of spaces - on the main floor, the double living room, dining area, and kitchen all flow into each other and are anchored by a marble fireplace and three large glass doors opening to the exterior terrace with a breathtaking view. The kitchen features Danish-designed Reform cabinetry, Bardiglio marble, and Fisher Paykel appliances. An office, a washroom, a dry bar, and a generously proportioned laundry room complete the main level. The central architectural piece of the home is the solid white oak staircase leading up to the second floor. The four bedrooms upstairs, though spacious, are much more private and intimate, each with large windows on two sides, communing with the serene and quiet landscape outside. The two sizable bathrooms have dedicated shower rooms and freestanding soaking tubs with panoramic views. The expansive landing of this level has a reading room at one end and a sitting area at the other. Distinguishing features of the Nine-Square House include high energy efficiency due to insulation exceeding all current standards, multi-zone central AC, radiant heated floors, solid 200 lb interior doors, satin nickel Kohler fixtures, cast iron sinks, and solid forged and machined brass and satin nickel door hardware. An expansive floor plan and extensive technical solutions are met with human-scale rooms, creating an abundantly peaceful and welcoming environment. The land around the house, perfect as it is, has been touched as little as possible. There are wooded and open areas, with meandering walking paths trailing through the property. The minimal clearing around the house has been planted with native plants, allowing ferns and forest growth to come back up to the building over time. The Nine-Square House is just 20 minutes from Hudson, Great Barrington, and Millerton and two hours from New York City.

This 11-acre estate, just 15 minutes from Hudson and two hours from Manhattan, offers a rare chance to own a piece of architectural heritage lovingly maintained by three dedicated owners.

Over 5000 reclaimed bricks from a 19th-century factory in Hudson pave the first floor, providing a cool environment in summer and warmth in winter. The current owners equipped the home with smart home technology and installed solar panels that dramatically reduce heating and cooling costs. The central living room boasts 40-foot high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a second-story library. The primary suite features a vaulted ceiling with hand-hewn beams, a seating area, and an en-suite bath with a bespoke copper soaking tub and walk-in shower. The downstairs bedroom showcases 18th-century English manor details, while a silo has been transformed into an elegant entrance with a spiral stair leading to a second-floor office and ensuite bedroom. The well-appointed brick kitchen, equipped with Bosch appliances, adjoins the spacious dining and living areas, making it ideal for entertaining. Manicured gardens with specimen plantings surround the home, providing a tranquil setting for outdoor activities. Spend chilly evenings around the fire pit, enjoy cocktails on the stone patio, or serve a summer meal in the outdoor screened-in dining room. Explore the grounds, including remnants of an 18th-century post house, or relax by the serene pond that hugs the forest's edge.

The exterior walls are planted with climbing hydrangea that blur the lines between structure and nature—a common motif throughout the property. The setting is both well designed and peaceful. The grand entry foyer sets the tone for the house. It connects to an enfilade of rooms filled with southern sun that run the length of the house.

Steps away from the southern facing terrace, perched majestically on a small rise, is the Parthenon-like pool house, a focal point of the outdoor areas. The adjacent heated pool uses copper ionization instead of chlorine. All the pool services are located in a bunker that allows the outdoor areas to stay completely quiet.
