5 Longview Rd, Clinton, NY, 12514

Historic character with loft-like drama: This converted barn on a quiet country road in Clinton Corners was originally built in 1869 but has been transformed into a residence that masterfully blends rustic charm with visual delights, inside and out. Nestled on a gently sloped 1.79-acre parcel with views of a pool area and adjacent pond, the house features soaring cathedral ceilings and original beams throughout all three levels of living, plus hardwood floors, a grand living room centered on a soaring stone fireplace, an eat-in chef's kitchen complete with a butler's pantry and bar, and an oversized dining room. A den/study with a convenient half bath completes the main level, offering a quiet space for work or relaxation. Upstairs are three unique bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and arranged around a dramatic open staircase and catwalk designed to highlight the antique beams and joists of the building. The expansive walk-out lower-level family room is perfect for gatherings, with a secondary kitchen that opens directly to the pool area and outdoor shower. The property's four-season stream and tranquil pond are visible from most rooms and there's also a large screened porch perfect for watching the birds and other wildlife that gather at the water. Behind the porch is a large 2-car garage plus a separate small barn perfect for storage or creative projects. Coupled with the forested surroundings, the property offers an idyllic and quiet slice of country life just 2 hours by car from NYC and minutes from the villages of Rhinebeck and Red Hook.
