Maligayang pagdating sa makasaysayang Surdeval Farm, isang maluwang na 4,500 square-foot, limang silid-tulugan, apat na banyo na tahanan sa 24.5 acre na matatagpuan sa pagitan ng mga kaakit-akit na nayon ng Chatham, Kinderhook, at Valatie. Sa mga dekada, ang orihinal na pangunahing bahay mula sa maagang taong 1800 ay pinalawak at inayos, at handa na ito para sa susunod na kabanata. Ang pormal na pasukan sa bahay ay mula sa malaking puno na may linya ng circular driveway patungo sa pintuan sa gilid, sa isang foyer, na nagbubukas sa isang malaking, beam na living room (na may pambungad na fireplace) na nilalampasan ang hindi madalas gamitin na harapang pintuan at nagpapakita ng kaakit-akit na klasikong nakakurba na hagdang-bato patungo sa ikalawang palapag. Sa kabilang bahagi ng hagdang-bato, sa unang palapag, isang silid-tulugan o den at katabing banyo ang na-install, habang sa ikalawang palapag ay may tatlong tradisyonal na silid-tulugan at dalawang banyo. Ang kusina ay na-update upang isama ang cherrywood kitchen cabinets at ang katabing maliwanag na dining room ay idinagdag. Ang ground floor ay malawak na pinalaki upang isama ang isang pangalawang magandang hagdang-bato patungo sa mga silid-tulugan/banyo sa taas at isang malaking pangunahing silid-tulugan na may wood burning fireplace, hiwalay na walk-in closet at mga istante, marangyang Jacuzzi-type bathtub, at mga French door patungo sa isang bato na patio, katabi ng isang screened porch. Ilan lamang ang mga hakbang mula sa pangunahing tahanan, isang maliit na post at beam barn ang ganap na na-renovate upang maging isang stylish vaulted-ceiling studio na may cherry shelving at cabinetry, mga batong countertop at lababo, pati na rin ang buong banyo. Malapit dito ay isang malaking, nakamamanghang hillside post-and-beam barn na unang ginamit upang mag-imbak ng dayami at butil sa itaas na palapag at sa walk-out lower-level, mga stall para sa kabayo at iba pang hayop. Isang corncrib at outhouse ang mga labi ng mga panahong iyon. Magandang landscaping upang isama ang mga perennial native at mga kaakit-akit na bulaklak, dogwood at shad shrubs, ang pag-aari ay naglalaman ng mga daang taong gulang na puno, berde at mabuhangin na mga parang, at isang nakakaintriga na nakakurba na Gunite pool. Matatagpuan sa isang daan sa kanayunan na may iba pang mga bukirin, ang lugar na ito ay labis na pinahahalagahan bilang isa sa mga retreat para sa mga mayayamang pamilya ng New York City, lalo na sa mga katapusan ng linggo sa tag-init. Ang bahay ay nasa tabi lamang ng daan mula sa PS21 Center for Contemporary Performance at Chatham Shaker Museum, 2.5 oras mula sa New York City at Boston, kalahating oras patungo sa Hudson, Albany, at madaling distansya sa mapayapang Catskill at Berkshire Mountains.

Welcome to historic Surdeval Farm, a spacious 4,500 square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bath homestead on 24.5 acres located between the charming villages of Chatham, Kinderhook, and Valatie. Over the decades the original early 1800’s core home was expanded and rearranged and it is now ready for its next chapter. The formal entrance to the home is from the grand tree-lined circular driveway to the side door, to a foyer, which opens to a large, beamed living room (with welcoming wood burning fireplace) bypassing the infrequently used front door and revealing an attractive classic curved stair to the second floor. On the other side of the stair, on the first floor, a bedroom or den and adjoining bathroom were installed, while on the second floor there are three traditional bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen was updated to include cherrywood kitchen cabinets and adjacent light-filled dining room was added. The ground floor was extensively enlarged to include a second handsome stair to the upstairs bedrooms/baths and a large primary bedroom suite with wood burning fireplace, separate walk-in closet and shelves, luxurious Jacuzzi-type bathtub, and French doors to a stone patio, adjacent to a screened porch. A few steps away from the main residence, a small post and beam barn was completely renovated to become a stylish vaulted-ceiling studio with cherry shelving and cabinetry, stone counters and sink, plus full bathroom. Nearby is a huge, spectacular hillside post-and-beam barn originally used to store hay and grain on the upper floor and on the walk-out lower-level, stalls for horses and other animals. A corncrib and outhouse are remnants of these bygone times. Beautifully landscaped to include perennial native and showy flowers, dogwood and shad shrubs, the property encompasses hundred-year-old trees, grassy meadows, and an inviting curved Gunite pool. Set on a country road with other farms, this area is highly valued as one of the retreats for prosperous New York City families, especially on weekends during the summer months. The home is just down the road from the PS21 Center for Contemporary Performance and the Chatham Shaker Museum, 2.5 hours from New York City and Boston, half hour to Hudson, Albany, and an easy distance to the peaceful Catskill and Berkshire Mountains. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
