In a picturesque corner of New York’s Hudson Valley, a historic property has been revitalised, honouring its rich heritage and giving way to a contemporary lifestyle.
A sociable and creative family was on the lookout for a home that would be a welcoming gathering space for friends and their large extended clan. BarlisWedlick approached it by restoring the home’s 18th and 19th-century components and integrating a stucco-clad addition.
The 5,000-sq.ft. abode stands among striking natural and manmade features, including a bubbling stream, waterfall, and agricultural relics. This includes a large 1812 Dutch-era twin barn and a barn converted into an artist’s studio.
The team also raised a new barn that was built for car storage and to serve as a workshop. A new, three-story addition overlooking the creek below features a stucco exterior. In this structure, the design team has built a kitchen, home office, and master bedroom suite.
Cosiness and warmth define the selected furnishings, all of which were sourced from antique vendors in New York City and the Hudson Valley – from midcentury armchairs by Paul McCobb to burl cubes from Lawson Fenning.
