The Embury Stone House, a rustic and historic estate set on 12 private acres in Hopewell Junction has hit the market for $1.55 million and it comes with a bit of unexpected presidential history. Built in 1930 and designed by Aymar Embury II, the stone home happened to be a cherished hunting lodge of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt who spent time there with Henry Morgenthau Jr, his Secretary of Treasury, who the residence was built for and belonged to.
Nearly 100 years later, the property in a small Upstate New York town provides peaceful countryside serenity and could serve as a perfect getaway for someone wanting to escape Manhattan for weekends amidst the trees. Upon entry, original timber beams, arched doorways, and marvelous chimneys are all the center of attention. The cozy yet bright spaces that have been so graciously preserved and updated over time harken to the sturdy craftsmanship that went into building the home.
Of course, it’s still worthy of entertaining discerning figures. There’s a modern kitchen dressed in Viking appliances, large stone patios fit for all of your dinner party dreams, a charming breakfast nook, and five bedrooms. The home’s rolling grounds also captivate with waving pastures, a gentle brook, and a heated saltwater pool and spa just steps from the interiors.
With the East Coast ready for fall, its most famous season, the property is up for sale at just the right time to impress buyers with stunning annual foliage. Picture yourself drinking morning coffee and admiring the views, which one of the country’s most influential presidents once enjoyed as well.
Anthony D’Argenzio of This Old Hudson Team at Houlihan Lawrence holds the eye-catching listing.
