Located a 45-minute drive north of Manhattan, this circa-1901 house offers a distinct blend of scale, warmth, and architectural detail. The highlight of the 5,400-square-foot home, which the listing describes as a ?French Electic/Normandy? style, has to be the soaring great room, which features 18-foot ceilings, huge arched windows, restored hardwood floors, and hand-chiseled beams.
The first floor also contains a spacious dining room that can accommodate up to 40 guests, an updated chef?s kitchen with a handcrafted French La Cornue stove, and an enclosed porch with access to the rear courtyard.
