Property Description
Set along storied Mead Street in the historic hamlet of Waccabuc, this 19th-century 4BR home, offered for the first time in nearly half a century, is the heart of a 2-acre, park-like property that also includes a 1BR guest cottage, expansive barn/3-car garage, ice house, smokehouse, and woodshed. Built for the Hunt Family in 1809 (with subsequent additions over time), the Federal-style Colonial exudes a feeling of gracious hospitality. Living room and family rooms, both anchored by fireplaces, boast tall windows, hand-crafted millwork, wide-board chestnut floors, and soaring ceilings—a rarity in early 19th-century homes. A charming, light-filled dining room features a full-height bay window that captures bucolic views. The spacious eat-in kitchen with access to the landscaped stone terrace, a laundry room, and a powder room complete the first floor. Two staircases lead to the second floor, where a delightful primary suite includes a fireplace, custom built-ins, a wall of closets, and full bath. Upstairs, there are also three additional bedrooms, a home office, two baths, and a stairway to the unfinished attic with extensive storage opportunities, including several cedar closets. A full unfinished, walk-out basement and a screened-in outdoor living room are on the lower level. In addition to the outbuildings, the property features flowering gardens, specimen trees, and stone walls. It is part of Waccabuc’s 524-acre historic district surrounding Mead Street, where the Comte de Rochambeau reportedly marched south when he led the French Army troops under his command to join General Washington in 1781. Waccabuc, noted as "New York's Secret Suburb,” enjoys a true spirit of community, where the Waccabuc Landowners Council's yearly activities welcome new neighbors with open arms. Lovingly cared for and steeped in history, 20 Mead Street awaits its next chapter. Come turn the page!
