Built on the site of a historic mill, where the Hollowville Creek and its offshoots merge, sits the house at Overshot Mill. Tucked in amongst English gardens, the nine acre homesite is exceptionally private. A lovely fenced flower garden sits in the southern lawn, and ornaments and perennials reveal themselves on a walk through the property. There are several small waterfalls on the grounds which one can find by crossing the creek over a moss covered stone bridge, and a swimming pond lies within the northern boundary. Gut renovated in the early 2000's, the home was significantly expanded to include three bedrooms and three baths. The kitchen and dining room overlook the rushing creek and walls of classic two-over-two windows allow the breeze to blow through, carrying the sound of the water throughout the house. The well appointed kitchen features a Subzero fridge and a gas range, and a striking soapstone sink overlooks the water. A wood burning fireplace grounds the living room, and french doors walk out to a bluestone patio. A pergola covers the outdoor dining area, and wisteria vines offer a whimsical canopy. Upstairs, the master is ensuite and its bathroom features a large soaking tub and separate tiled shower. Two additional, well sized and light filled bedrooms share a full bath. The third floor is currently set up as an office, with natural light flooding in from the skylight and windows overlooking the grounds below. An utterly charming potting shed complete with a cedar shake roof is tucked into the property, and a large barn has been finished to include a studio space on the upper level. The House at Overshot Mill is just 15m to Hudson but is a world of its own, its gardens & interiors as sweet as can be.
