Karakter može biti prečesto korišten pojam u nekretninama, ali rijetko koja kuća pokazuje toliko topline i gravitas kao Stari Hankins Manor. Od trenutka kada se približite vožnjom, pored privatnog pola acre ribnjaka i do verande s ljuljačkom, uvlači vas osjećaj bezvremenosti i udobne elegancije.

Skrivena od mirne seoske ceste, ova kuća stoji kao sentinela nad okolnim poljoprivrednim zemljištem više od 100 godina. Službeni prednji ulaz vodi vas u prostrani predsoblje s ukrašenim stubištem. Iza toga smjestila se ugodna medijska soba, skrivena od ostatka životnog prostora. Soba za sjedenje i dnevni boravak s kamenim kaminom s obje strane pozivaju vas u glavni prostor za zabavu, zatim do prostrane formalne blagovaonice, s drugom stranom kamina i drvenim ugradnim policama. Kuhinja je vrlo funkcionalna uz zadržavanje starinskog seoskog šarma - zamislite crvene karićaste platnene stolnjake, stari porculanski umivaonik, izblijedjelo drvo i svježe pečene višnjeve pite. Iz ovog prostora nalazi se praktična ostava s visokim ormarima i dodatnim umivaonikom. Potpuna kupaonica uz kuhinju također sadrži perilicu/sušilicu.

Na odmorištu drugog kata, pronaći ćete lijepu, sunčanu sobu za sjedenje prije nego što se uputite niz hodnik koji sadrži pet spavaćih soba, svaka s posebnim karakterom, omogućujući vam da usmjerite svoje goste prema ‘sobu s jorgovanom’ ili ‘crvenoj sobi’. Na ovom katu nalaze se dvije potpune kupaonice, jedna s kadu na nožicama, smještena ispod dramatičnog vitražnog prozora, a druga s pločicom tuš kabinom s šarmantnim starinskim armaturama.

Treći kat sadrži ogromnu glavnu suite. Spavaća soba ima krov u obliku šatora cirkusa, radni cigleni kamin i veliku prostoriju za sjedenje. Potpuna kupaonica u sklopu nudi još jednu kadu na nožicama i tuš kabinu s pločicama s krovnim prozorom. Šarmantna soba za oblačenje i veliki ured sa staklenim zidom završavaju ovaj kat.

Ispred, staza sa stražnje strane kuće vodi pored kamenog dvorišta s vatrom na grijani bazen. Jednostavan raspored ovog područja omogućuje vam da cijenite prirodnu privatnost otvorenih polja i zrelog drveća. S druge strane imanja, bistro slatkovodno jezero nudi prilike za plivanje, veslanje i mirnu kontemplaciju. Prednji travnjak je velik i blago nagnut, što ga čini privlačnim za igranje sa obitelji i prijateljima. Gotovo nevjerojatno, ovo idilično utočište također je samo deset minuta hoda od svih čari i pogodnosti Main Streeta, Callicoon.

Character may be an overused word in real estate, but it’s a rare home that exhibits as much warm gravitas as Old Hankins Manor. From the moment you pull up the drive, past the private half acre pond and up to the wraparound rocking chair porch, you’re struck by a sense of timelessness and comfortable elegance.

Tucked back from the quiet country road, this home has stood sentinel over the surrounding farmland for over 100 years. The formal front entrance welcomes you into a generous foyer with ornate staircase. Nestled behind this is a cozy media room, tucked away from the rest of the living space. The sitting room and den with stone double-sided fireplace welcome you into the primary entertaining space, then through to the spacious formal dining room, with the other face of the fireplace and wooden built-in shelving. The kitchen is highly functional while retaining an old country charm - think red checkered linens, aged porcelain sink, weathered wood and fresh baked cherry pies. Off this space is a convenient pantry with floor to ceiling cabinets and an additional sink. A full bathroom off the kitchen also houses a washer/dryer unit.

At the second floor landing, you’ll find a lovely, sunny sitting room before heading down the hallway housing five bedrooms, each with a distinct character, allowing you to direct your guests to the ‘lilac room’ or the ‘red room’. There are two full bathrooms on this floor, one with a clawfoot tub, positioned under a dramatic stained glass window, and another with a tiled shower with charming old-style fixtures.

The third floor houses a massive primary suite. The bedroom features a circus-tent-like peaked ceiling, working brick fireplace and large sitting area. A full en suite bath offers another clawfoot soaking tub and walk in tiled shower with skylight. A charming dressing room and large glass-encased office finish off this floor.

Outside, a pathway off the back of the house leads past a stone patio with fire pit to the heated pool. The simple layout of the this area allows you to appreciate the natural privacy of open fields and mature trees. To the other side of the property, the clear freshwater pond offers opportunities for swimming, paddling, and peaceful contemplation. The front lawn is large and lightly sloping, making it inviting for lawn games for your family and friends. Almost unbelievably, this idyllic escape is also just a ten minute walk to all the charms and conveniences of Main Street, Callicoon. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
