General Overview

House was built in 1878 and retains historic charm while being a solid, comfortable home. The house has beautiful light and high ceilings(for an old house). Property is just over three acres on a hill which has views of the Catskill mountains to the east and the Berkshires to the west. We have a few cows as neighbors; it’s peaceful.

The Space

We’ve just moved in(March 2025) and are planning some renovations so things will be in flux for a while.

Guest Access

Two floors. Stairs.

Notes

Brand new ECM German espresso machine. Air conditioning in summer, cozy warm in winter(radiant heat upstairs). New, top quality mattresses and bedding.

Neighbourhood

We think Germantown might be the best location in the Hudson Valley! Beautiful towns of Hudson, Catskill, Tivoli, Red Hook(Bard) and Rhinebeck are all 12-20 minutes away. Kingston, Woodstock and Ghent/Kinderhook 35-40 minutes.

Getting to my home

We’re 12 minutes from the Hudson Amtrak station; train from NYC is two hours. Albany Airport about an hour’s drive, NYC area airports about 2 hours and 15 minutes drive.

Nearest airport

Albany International, 52 minutes

Getting Around

Germantown is a wonderfully central location to explore the Hudson Valley as well as parts of the Berkshires. Hudson(12min),Catskill(12min), Tivoli(16min), Red Hook/Bard College(20min) and Rhinebeck(29min) are all less than 30 minutes away. Kingston(34mjn), Chatham(36min), Woodstock(44min), Saugerties(34min), Ghent(31min), Beacon and Great BarringtonMA are all less than a (charming!) hour’s drive.

Marnie

We’re an active, adventurous couple who are occasionally astonished to find ourselves in our mid-fifties. We’re friendly though not extroverted. Brian studied engineering but currently does product marketing(Oracle). He grew up in a Navy family and flew fighter jets himself after doing ROTC at Cornell. He loves fast cars and going to the track but also is a devoted “girl dad” and never forgets to refresh the birdfeeder. Marnie grew up near Toronto and is nostalgically Canadian. She studied English Lit(Queen’s U, UNH)and remains an avid reader, occasional writer and hardcore genealogy nerd.. We always have at least one rescue mutt. Other current interests are hiking, movies, art, native plant gardening and raising butterflies(summer). We *love* east coast swing dancing(Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Balboa) and are going to a summer dance camp in NH this year. Our daughter, Sydney, graduates from UBC this year and will occasionally travel with us.
