Description

Here is a rare opportunity to own a notable piece of Amenia history. Located on Route 343, formerly known as Dutchess Turnpike, the Palmer House is an exceptional offering that will capture the hearts of period home enthusiasts. Once part of a large operating farm, this property begins in the 18th century. The house was built by Capt Abiah Palmer in approximately 1789, and after the birth of his son in 1835, his widow Laura enlarged the house in approximately 1840. Their son, the Hon. Abiah Palmer was a prominent attorney, NY State Senator, President of the First National Bank of Amenia (nearby Bank of Millbrook building) and Hudson River Hospital President who donated grounds for the nearby cemetery. He would later inherit the house and pass it to his son, Capt Roland Palmer; a Yale graduate and NYC attorney who also practiced law in Paris for many years. It is believed that the rear portion of the home, the kitchen, may have been used as a general store attached to the residence. Behind the small brick oven in the kitchen is a staircase leading to the old servant's quarters; now the semi finished attic. In the 19th century portion of the home,first floor rooms are spacious and bathed in abundant natural light including a large living room which is believed to have an original fireplace behind the wall; and first floor large den. On the second floor, original wood floors, nooks and built-ins are complimented by the unpretentious warmth & character of classic knotty pine wall boards, which have been reappearing in well designed interiors of today, often contrasted wisely with lighter surfaces by professional designers. Thoughtful consideration was given to renovations over the years, with the owners choosing quality replacement hardware and design elements to preserve historic character and charm. There is no wish for the modern amenities of central air and a full house generator, as the home offers both. A grand total of nearly 2300 sqft including unheated semi finished attic and 2 car garage. The front of the home showcases a beautiful symmetrical design, Colonial sitting porch with stone steps, classic columns, handsome beadboard overhead, and original entry door with bell. There are well appointed gardens, a covered side porch leading to a 2 car modern garage, stone patio, lush lawn, garden shed and mountain views. You'll appreciate the history, scenery & recreation nearby, including the early architecture, houses of worship; Rail Trail, Silo Ridge Golf and more. Far reaching views and breathtaking landscapes between Millbrook & Amenia provide a peaceful & lovely drive. Wassaic Train Station is minutes away. Ease of commute to amenities. This is a well preserved home that is truly a rare find.
