Comments for 210 Bate Road , Claverack, NY 12521

Built by Dutch settlers in 1740 and quietly tucked along one of Claveracks most peaceful country roads, 210 Bate Road is a home that tells the story of the Hudson Valley itself. Set on 4.72 acres of mature trees, rolling lawn, and woodland, it offers an increasingly rare combination of complete privacy and remarkable convenience--just ten minutes from the restaurants, galleries, and shops of Warren Street in Hudson. Over nearly three centuries, the house has evolved with extraordinary care. While its early Dutch structure remains intact, later stewards thoughtfully incorporated architectural elements salvaged from a nearby grand Federal home, layering the house with another chapter of regional history. Elegant mantels, cupboards, doors, windows, and the staircase sit comfortably alongside hand-hewn beams, wide-plank floors, and beautifully weathered brick, creating interiors that feel collected over generations rather than restored all at once. The kitchen and baths have been sensitively renovated, offering modern comfort while remaining entirely sympathetic to the homes historic character. Every improvement feels quiet and intentional, allowing the architecture--and nearly three hundred years of craftsmanship--to remain the focus. Looking toward the future, the home is powered by solar energy serving both the house and barn, with two Tesla Powerwall batteries providing efficient energy storage and resilience without compromising the propertys historic character. The living spaces unfold naturally from one another, each with its own distinct sense of warmth. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, while two wood stoves--one welcoming guests in the generous entrance hall and another in the primary bedroom--make the house feel equally inviting throughout the colder months. An office and a soaring artists studio provide inspiring spaces to work and create, flooded with natural light beneath vaulted ceilings and exposed timber framing. Upstairs, two peaceful bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a second full bath on the main floor offers flexibility for guests. Outside, the landscape is every bit as compelling as the house itself. Loomis Creek meanders through the property, crossed by charming footbridges that lead to woodland walking trails beneath a mature canopy of trees. A fenced garden surrounds the house, while the open meadow offers ample room for a pool or pond should the next owner wish to add one. The propertys creative legacy extends beyond the main residence.
