This circa 1807 colonial brick farmhouse has, over the course of two centuries, transformed from an early- American private residence to a thriving inn and event venue. The symmetrical brick facade, a hallmark of its era, showcases the original paneled front door framed by sidelight and transom windows. Inside, the home exudes charm with original wide-plank floors, shiplap paneling, and five bedrooms with private baths. A well-considered 21st-century post and beam addition expands the living, dining, and entertaining spaces, dovetailing modern design with the farmhouse's historic character. Beamed 20-ft ceilings and Palladian windows flood the space with natural light. The commercial kitchen on the lower level serves as the creative center for on-site catering and events. Set on 4.6 acres in Stone Ridge, NY, the beautifully landscaped grounds include a blue stone patio, deck, and a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, extending gracious entertaining to the outdoors. The property offers a separate carriage house with an open kitchen, dining, and living area on the main level. The second-story sleeping loft has a vaulted ceiling, hand-hewn beams, and a full bath.
