Introducing ROCKDALE c. 1830 — a one-of-a-kind, captivating 5-bedroom historic Colonial farmhouse and barn set on 1.32 bucolic acres. The perfect full-time residence or weekend retreat for those who seek charm, originality, and significance. Proudly listed on the New Castle Historic Registry, this quintessential landmark is rich in history and character. Beautifully situated on a quiet country road, the gated entry is framed by a white picket fence and stately stone walls. A long gravel driveway lined with Belgian blocks opens to a picturesque setting with mature plantings, perennial gardens, and a newly expanded bluestone patio with fire-pit and stone wall seating overlooking the back lawn. Inside, the home’s antique character has been beautifully preserved and maintained, blending elegance and comfort. Original pine floors, wood beams, exposed brick, three wood-burning fireplaces, high ceilings, and original built-ins reflect the home’s rich history, while floor-to-ceiling windows fill the interiors with natural light. True to the home’s period, the interior layout connects the rooms in an ideal way for both entertaining and privacy. The recently updated farmhouse kitchen features new cabinetry, countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by a wood ceiling with original exposed beams and a large double window. The formal dining room with three built-in cabinets, gracious bay window, and butler's pantry is ideal for entertaining. An inviting and spacious living room and a family room/library with reading nook both feature built-in bookcases, fireplaces, and floor-to-ceiling windows. A full bath, laundry room, attached pantry, back hall/mudroom, and wide front porch complete the main level. The second level can be accessed by the main staircase or a quaint back hall staircase leading to a mezzanine level with two bedrooms — one equally suited for and currently used as an office. This space transitions seamlessly to the main hall leading to three additional bedrooms and two well-appointed full baths. A detached barn offers tremendous potential for guest quarters, a creative space, home office, gym, or garage — making this property as versatile as it is distinctive. The spacious backyard abuts farmland, creating a peaceful and scenic setting. Conveniently located near the North County Trailway, major parkways, rail lines, shopping, and Gedney Park, this home provides the benefit of New Castle taxes along with access to Chappaqua recreation and train station parking – a rare and exceptional opportunity to enjoy the best of both communities. ROCKDALE is for the discerning buyer who values a one-of-a-kind home with easy access to NYC.
