Dutchess County was mapped out in 1683 and named in honor of the Duchess of York (the title of ‘Dutchess’ was spelled with a ‘t’ until 1775). The craftsmanship of the Hudson Valley is reflected beautifully in this 4-bedroom, 5½-bath home with a double-story porch and exposed-timber rafters.

Dormers bring generous natural light into the main-floor interior, which features both a master suite and a junior master suite. On the lower level a central family room offers additional space for entertaining, with the option of a walk-out terrace.
