Presenting an Early American Estate on 4.5 serene acres originally gifted by George Washington and NY Governor George Clinton.

From King George III to President George Washington and Governor George Clinton, the land beneath this estate traces the transformation of America from colony to republic, from royal claim to democratic stewardship.

Elegant details exemplifying Federal design abound.
The residence rises with quiet grandeur, its symmetry, tall pilasters, and elliptical windows exemplifying Federal design. Inside, hand-planed doors, mantels, and wide-plank floors, attributed to early architect Isaac Williams, endure.

The jaw dropping interiors include a grand hall, five bedrooms, and four fireplaces across two principal floors.
Spanning 5,084 square feet, the estate offers five bedrooms, four baths, and four fireplaces across two principal floors. A grand hall, parlors, and dining spaces flow, while private quarters and a walk-up attic preserve intimacy and adaptability.

Most remarkable is the oak-paneled library by the luxury design house that furnished the White House.
Designed by W. & J. Sloane of New York City, the famed luxury design house that furnished the White House, the Breakers, and Rockefeller, Whitney, and Vanderbilt homes and modeled on Hampton Court, the library is a scholarly jewel echoing the intellectual spirit of nearby Hamilton College.
