Sprague Creek Farmhouse: Livingston Manor, NY
About The Property
Open House Saturday, July 30 11AM-1PM.
Welcome to Sprague Creek Farmhouse! This lovingly renovated 3 bedroom home with attached guest cottage sits on nearly 20 acres down a quiet country road just three miles from Main St, Livingston Manor and nestled close to miles of Wild Forest.
Coming up the driveway past the garage, you’re greeted by a sweet, wraparound rocking chair porch. From here you look out over lilac bushes and abundant greenery towards your private stretch of Sprague Creek. Thoughtful gardens ensure blooms throughout the warmer months, including daffodils, peonies, lavender, thyme and roses.
The front entrance takes you into the sunny and spacious living room, featuring two walls of windows and a cozy wood stove. An open floor plan then leads naturally into the generous and well-appointed kitchen, with a large center island with butcher block counter, ample whitewashed cabinets, and farmhouse sink. The stainless steel appliances include a five burner range with hood, refrigerator, dishwasher and wine fridge.
The dining area sits just off the kitchen and living room and offers double doors onto the porch, offering an easy compromise on the question of whether or not to dine al fresco. There is ample room here for a large dining table.
On the second floor you’ll find the spacious primary bed, with large, west-facing windows and generous closet space. Just across the hall is a thoughtfully appointed full bath and second bedroom. At the end of the hall is the office, with its own private balcony and the staircase to the third floor bedroom with skylights and vaulted ceilings.
Back on the first floor, you enter the cottage through a shared mudroom. A cozy bedroom offers space for a queen bed and easy access to the full bathroom. The main living space centers around a classic wood stove, and features an efficiency kitchen and its own private deck. High ceilings and lots of windows keep this space feeling light and airy.
Across the road sits a two story barn in excellent condition with electrical service, perfect for a workshop or studio. Two additional sheds offer more storage. Down a short set of stairs, you’ll find the generous platform deck sitting over Sprague Creek. It’s the perfect place for lounging next to the water with a good book or an evening bonfire.
Livingston Manor boasts a lively Main Street, and nearby destination The DeBruce is renowned for its culinary offerings. Additionally, nearby you’ll find several award-winning breweries, world-class fly fishing and miles of beautiful hikes.
