Offered at $1,550,000, 3 Route 216, Hopewell Junction, NY is a truly exceptional offering—a Historic Colonial Homestead farmhouse built circa 1790, set on 4 picturesque acres in the heart of the Hudson Valley. With 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 5,439 square feet of interior living space, this post-Revolutionary War Federal-style estate masterfully blends preserved early American craftsmanship with refined modern comfort. Signature period details include original wide-plank floors, exposed wood beams, two fireplaces, a bread oven, and a fully functioning Sedgwick hand-powered elevator—a rare 18th-century engineering treasure. The home includes a one-bedroom maid’s quarters with a full bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub, offering vintage elegance and private accommodations. The spacious primary bedroom comes equipped with an ensuite, while the formal living room boasts a dramatic stone fireplace. A separate library/study includes its own fireplace, ideal for work or quiet retreat. Entertain in the gracious formal dining room, and enjoy daily convenience with a second-floor laundry area. The chef’s kitchen features cherry wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, double wall ovens, a butler’s pantry, and radiant heated floors. A wraparound porch with swing enhances the home’s charm, while the fully finished, heated attic with vaulted ceilings adds flexible living space. The estate is anchored by 13 original outbuildings, including a Dutch barn, blacksmith shop, lift-frame machine shed, horse stable, cow barn, and a standout tractor barn, all reflecting the rich agrarian heritage of the property. A one-bedroom cottage with fireplace provides additional living space for guests or long-term stays. Outside, you’ll find a koi pond with waterfalls, a wishing well, hand pump well, and a private Swedish sauna, set within beautifully manicured grounds. For collectors or enthusiasts, the estate includes 7 heated garage spaces, covered shelter for 10 additional vehicles, a professional-grade lift with wheel alignment capabilities, and six post-frame machines—making this a rare offering for both historic preservationists and modern hobbyists. Deeply rooted in history, the Homestead is tied to the Storm family, descendants of Dirck Goris Storm, whose 17th-century records (Het Notite Boeck) helped chronicle early Dutch life in the Hudson Valley. His legacy is preserved in Old Dirck’s Book by Raymond William Storm, and a framed rendering of the home is proudly displayed in East Fishkill Town Hall. Located just a short distance from New York City, with proximity to the Metro-North Station, golf courses, scenic walking trails, and easy access to the Taconic State Parkway, 3 Route 216 offers an extraordinary blend of heritage, space, functionality, and privacy—expertly maintained and ready for its next chapter.
