50 Meeting House RD Pawling, NY 12564

The Quakers built a hilltop road over 250 years ago. It brought them to their meeting house before, during, and after America's Revolutionary War. Travel this same path, yet to be paved, to your gracious 3 bedroom, 4 bath home: 2,471 square feet on 10 private acres atop Quaker Hill. You will be charmed by the traditional farmhouse exterior, while clean lines & simple elegance punctuate the contemporary design of the interior. In 2009, a 14 x 28 two-story addition created a dramatic open floor plan with soaring ceilings and windows that look out onto the private landscape including lawn, sculptural grasses, evergreens and oaks. The rest of the home was also substantially renovated in 2009 to seamlessly blend the new with the old, keeping the charm but updating the house with today's modern amenities. Upon entering, you will be drawn to the two-sided fireplace in the sitting area, the vaulted ceiling, and the elegant 20 panel French doors which all catch the eye. A wall of windows overlooking the pool brighten the dining room and living room under a cathedral ceiling. A breakfast area on the other side of the fireplace with French doors leads to the expansive back deck which encompasses the pool, and the chef's kitchen featuring a Bertazzoni 6 burner gas range continues the appeal. Down the hall you find the first en suite bedroom with convenient door from the full bath to the back deck and pool area, a large office adjacent to the hallway full bath which features a stackable washer and dryer, and access to the spacious one car garage, now being used for storage. Upstairs, there is a library with custom cabinetry and a fireplace, a linen closet, the primary bedroom with en suite full bath and walk-in closet, and the third bedroom with en suite full bath and walk-in closet. A truly versatile layout with three bedrooms plus two flex space rooms, an insulated former garage ready to become a rec room, home theatre, gym, etc. and a full bath on the first floor. Outdoors you find 1,400 SF of Ipe Brazilian wood decking that surrounds the 16 x 40 in-ground saltwater pool, a rocking chair front porch, rolling and level park-like land, a pond at the entrance and an expansive, open and cleared field dotted with white oaks behind the home.
