Known as the Heermance House since the mid-1800s, in its most recent years, the home's interior has been restored with characterful design interventions & a sincere respect for the history behind this icon of the local circa 1700s architectural vernacular.Past the front gardens & a restored, historically accurate porch with built-in benches, the entry hall opens on the right to the formal dining room with a charming bay window & on the left to a cozy, light-filled living room. Both rooms have 10-foot ceilings, a rarity in this vintage, original fireplaces & large beams. French doors lead from the dining room to the completely renovated kitchen with wide-board reclaimed pine floors, a distinctive burgundy range, Zellige tile, lots of storage, & a custom-crafted built-in breakfast nook.The back half of the ground floor overlooks the property's coveted greenspace & is home to the mudroom, hearth room, library, second living room/media room, laundry room, & powder room. Cool-toned brick floors in a herringbone pattern ground the large mudroom, which also features an impressive amount of cabinetry & a custom entry nook with tongue-&-groove paneling, peg rails, & detailed woodwork, constructed by local artisans. The hearth was added to the house in the 1780s & has slowly become the heart of the home, especially during the colder months.Upstairs are 4 well-proportioned bedrooms & 2 full baths. 3 bedrooms lie in the guest wing, & share a beautiful view of the village & its most precious historic homes. The guest bath is a two-toned jewel, featuring a romantic bathtub, tasteful woodwork, & plenty of built-in cabinetry. The primary wing offers the primary bedroom, a dressing room, an office with a deep window seat overlooking the home's ancient Catalpa tree, & the beautifully reenvisioned primary bathroom. Farrow & Ball paint colors were chosen throughout the house to complement & enhance the natural light in each room, & careful attention was paid when choosing period-appropriate lighting & hardware.Exiting the house through the mudroom, you arrive at the stone patio & dining terrace, which overlooks the property's utterly charming 18th-century barn & mature gardens. The grounds are a healthy mix of open grassy areas perfect for a future pool, & well-cultivated plantings. The barn would be the ideal workshop or art studio, & with a complete restoration, it could be a guesthouse. Heermance House is just a few minutes from Kinderhook's Village Green.
