Property Description
Linlithgo was established in the late 18th century just down the road from the iconic Livingston estate and grounds, Teviotdale. In the 1800s, the village largely became home to workers employed by the Iron Mountain mine and the nearby Hudson River railroad depot. By the time the Post Office was built, the town had slowly become a blend of remaining mining families and gentlemen farmers.
Today, the expansive and light-filled home has been appropriately modernized without losing its abundance of character. The original doors, hardware, and wide-plank hardwood floors have been carefully restored. There are four bedrooms on the second floor and an additional room downstairs with an en-suite full bathroom and its own entrance, currently used as a media room. There are two full bathrooms upstairs, one en-suite to the primary bedroom, and a powder on the ground floor. The second-floor laundry room has wood paneling, built-in drying racks, and shelving. The abundant storage space throughout is particularly rare in a home of this vintage, and the large mudroom and basement ensure the house has everything needed for an authentic country property.
The surrounding land spans an acre, with a large vegetable garden, mature plantings, tall evergreens lining the property, and a restored original stone wall. A carriage house with concrete floors and shelving currently stores gardening supplies and would make an excellent future studio or workshop.
The Post Office, the home's adopted moniker even many decades after being converted into a personal residence, is in good company nestled near Linlithgo's beautifully preserved schoolhouse and church. The property is minutes away from both Germantown and Hudson, which means a few of our favorite local spots - Otto's Market, Montgomery Place Orchards and Morningstar Farms, Clermont State Historic Site, Olana, the Hudson farmers market, and truly endless more places to wine, dine, and explore are just around the corner.
