About 53 Methodist Hill Road
A classic Colonial Revival manse set on twenty hill top acres overlooking the Catskill Mountains and the charming hamlet of Rensselaerville. Enter the property down an allee of flowering trees and arrive at this colonnaded country house steeped in history and ready to welcome you home. Year-round comfort with gracious reception rooms including a sun filled living room and a formal dining room, both with wood-burning fireplaces. Classic french doors open onto the grand covered veranda with long views across the deep lawn and views to the Catskill range. An impressive kitchen with a Wolfe stove and Sub-Zero refrigerator bring this historic house up to the 21st century. On the second floor you will find the master ensuite with access to the second floor veranda as well as three additional bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor features two lovely guest bedrooms. Original carriage drives, now grass and dotted with flowering bulbs pass through fern glens and by the classic front dutch-door. A gunnite swimming pool surrounded with white picket fencing and a bluestone terrace anchor the broad lawns near the house. Hidden away is a full tennis court with an historic timber frame gazebo. Three hours from NYC and 45 minutes to Amtrak/Hudson.
