About 207 Hawleys Corner

Creativity meets comfort and conservation: This newly expanded and modernized farm house on one of the Hudson Valley’s quietest country lanes has been fully renovated to the most cutting-edge standards of 2023 but without losing its core character from 1939. Perched privately above the road on 2 wooded acres, the house maintains a vintage vibe despite all-new upgrades, including 2 fully renovated bathrooms, one on each floor; an attached 4-season heated greenhouse; a rebuilt front deck; and, most dramatically, a stunning second level that, for now, has been converted from multiple rooms into one massive and sunlight-saturated studio space and primary bedroom. The ground level includes a large eat-in kitchen, a living room centered on a stone fireplace with wood-stove insert, plus an extra-height dining room surrounded by windows and opening to a shaded patio. And as you go lower, the bar goes higher, with an overhauled basement that now hosts a 2-year-old super high-efficiency geothermal HVAC system featuring BOSCH and Rinnai components engineered to commercial-building standards. The roof was replaced a year ago, and more than 20 custom-made Pella windows, still in their boxes, are ready for installation if you want to up the ante even further on energy self-sufficiency.
