Property Description
In 1791, an area pioneer built a hand-hewn log and mortar cabin sturdy enough to stand the ravages of time. It was later moved to its present 2.5 acre site along beautiful Polk Valley Road and married to a c.1850 farmhouse. The pair today are joined in happy recollections of times gone by, complete with massive fireplace, pie staircases, exposed beams, random width floors, cabin walls in their original state and the old pump outside the kitchen door. The modern touches, like individual Mercer tiles on the cabin fireplace, are in keeping with the time. Tasteful renovations include new bathrooms with vessel sinks, pebble shower and iron accents. The versatile floor plan includes a country kitchen with walk-in fireplace and beehive oven, large dining room, cozy study and log living room with exposed beams and unique brick fireplace with Mercer tiles. A skylight office space is set above the kitchen. Each of the three bedrooms has exposed beams and there is a large attic with skylights for future expansion possibilities. In all, this treasure from the past proudly invites one to linger and savor the antiquity. Its peaceful country location is convenient to shopping and entertainment and yet is the perfect weekend getaway or commuter's dream with easy access from New York and New Jersey via nearby I-78.
