Tillson Farmhouse is a light-filled and updated antique farmhouse with radiant heat floors and designer finishes, lending it a modern, lofty feel. Originally built in 1939, this home was gut renovated just a few years back and has been meticulously finished and styled by its current owners. Set on a landscaped half-acre lot in the charming hamlet of Tillson, in the Town of Rosendale, this modern farmhouse beckons buyers looking for a ”best of both worlds” living situation.

The home exudes warmth and charm, thanks to a mix of original character—like the staircase with original woodwork—and Scandinavian-inspired finishes. The first floor features an open-flow design that seamlessly blends living, dining, and kitchen spaces and is centered around a wood stove hearth. The dining area features a bay window with a romantic built-in window seat overlooking the verdant yard. On this level, you’ll also find a bedroom and a powder room.

Up the stairs with a beautiful original patina are two more bedrooms, including a large primary with multiple windows and plenty of room for a king-size bed. On this level is also a deluxe full bathroom, with double rainfall shower heads and a claw-foot soaker tub, finished with classic hex-tile and poured concrete countertop and shower ledge.

With original wood floors, beams, and banisters and bright spaces with modern windows, mechanicals, and finishes, what’s not to like?
