Located atop Quaker Hill, one of the most historic and desirable enclaves in Dutchess County, this private country home on over 6 acres offers a serene, secluded setting still only minutes to the village of Pawling. The gently rising approach, against the mature perennial landscape, sets the scene for this perfectly appointed home with opening views that usher in loads of natural light. A gracious rocker front porch welcomes you into a home designed for entertaining; there is a spacious living room with an oversized wood-burning fireplace, a large chef's kitchen with dining area and wood-burning stove, an adjacent gallery or formal dining room, and a requisite mudroom bordered by a full downstairs bath. Rounding out the first floor, the charming tiered terrace and pergola, set in a flowering garden, is an organic extension of the interiors tying to the social life of the home. Upstairs, there are two possible primary suites, one with an en suite bath and an additional central bathroom and bedroom, plus a bonus studio or office space. A convenient attached 2 car garage off the mudroom, full basement and additional detached 2 car garage makes great space for the car enthusiast or storage. Set back into the landscape and affording uncommon privacy, this property truly feels like its own little world with plenty of level, usable acreage and stunning eastern views of nearby Connecticut.
