11 Monument Hl Tivoli, NY

Description:

Built by expert hands in 1850 then restored and expanded by hand in the 20th century by the master craftsman owner. Skilled in the nearly lost arts of 18th and 19th century building and finishing, the owner has created a one-of-a-kind property rarely seen on today's market. Hand-plastered walls, carefully restored original windows, new slate roofing, true laid brick Rumford fireplaces, and so much more all come together to make this house unique, comfortable and livable for the most discerning buyer. Set back from the road and high on a knoll, the house is approached through a delightful allee framing a gravel lane and then leading to an open lawn with magnificent Catalpa trees. The house and the grounds are an intentional statement of subtle sophistication with every design detail thoughtfully considered over the course of twenty-five years. Inside a large living and dining area with nearly floor-to-ceiling French doors gracefully lead into the open plan kitchen anchored by one the Rumford fireplaces.
