Antique lovers... A near impossible to find rare gem set on a quiet back road of only a handful of homes - step into the charm of the landmarked Sarles-Bode house, a quintessential c.1750 home in Pound Ridge, NY. This is a rare offering where timeless character and everyday livability come together in the main house, guest house, and extensive outdoor entertainment areas. Layered with history, the original 18th-century main residence, later expanded in both the 19th and 20th centuries, retain its original charm throughout a complete and careful top to bottom renovation (2023-2026) This remarkable property showcases beautifully preserved wide plank flooring and hand hewn beams throughout the interior. The exterior is complemented by extensive dry stone walls, exceptional stonework patios, and amazing rock outcroppings. All rooms offer their own charm, highlighted by built ins, bookcases and distinctive wooden doors- each with its own character and paired with original materials that create a true sense of history. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins, while the dining room offers a second fireplace. The primary bedroom sits privately at the back of the main residence featuring his and her baths, a huge lounge area and amazing sunset views. The large 2 story guest cottage is private from the main house yet easily accessible to the pool and property featuring 2 full baths, a great room downstairs and oversized guest bedroom upstairs. Set on over 2 beautiful, private professionally landscaped acres, this one of a kind cherished residence seamlessly blends historic character with the modern-day comforts of today. If buyer wishes, property is available furnished (with the exception of a few family heirlooms/antiques) including most furniture, wall art, lighting and televisions. Seller financing available.
