Introducing Charbonneau House in the quaint village of Kinderhook, NY. American history, a place where presidents are born, historical houses and commercial hot spots commingle in the trendsetting, lively community basked in fashionable restaurants, coffee houses, yoga and pilates studios. On an arterial street in this architecturally important village is a stand out residence at the foot of Maiden Lane at 31 William Street. Charbonneau House, an original c. 1754 pre-revolutionary, five gabled Dutch colonial home with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, is crafted of stone and brick and sits on a three quarter acre lot and possesses infinite charm in a village full of bewitching houses. As you step inside through a large mudroom off the driveway, a laurel feature of the home opens into a large beamed center great room and greets you as its main living quarters with wood burning fireplaces, one a major hearth, at both ends of the expanse. Another wood burning fireplace, number three of three, is located in a darling, cozy audio video/sitting room adjacent. A modern addition on the rear of the home belies a baker's kitchen with stone countertops and radiant stone floors. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and exposed stone walls make the kitchen full of texture and its expansive space brimming with sunlight is inviting in all seasons. A screened porch is in earshot of the hammered copper kitchen sink and perfect for a summer repast. Outside, a vintage brick-red painted barn with a cute cupola has plenty of room for car and studio and workshop, as it has a second story and heat and electric.An unexpected treat will greet you in the spring as the gardens, carefully planted and tended, have many surprises to come as nature begins to bloom in waves of native flowers all spring and summer long. A gardeners paradise and the pice de rsistance; a grand flowering crabapple espalier on eastern sunrise side of the residence.Two and half hours from the city and convenient to Hawthorne Valley, the Berkshires and the Chatham Berry Farm.
