Property Description
This historic home was constructed by Thomas Bishop, a veteran of the War of 1812 in the early 1800's and was once known as Bishop's Tavern. It began as an inn and tavern on what was once, the Stockbridge and Hudson stagecoach line. Since then it has been lovingly tended and updated with an eye to preservation. Located on a quiet country road in Red Rock and surrounded by mature gardens and stately trees this property has much to offer. The front of the house has access to two covered porches, one on each floor that offer seating and views of the pasture and hill beyond. Entering the home from the side, this open porch entry brings you into a large parlor that stretches across the length of the main house. A newly built fireplace is flanked by floor to ceiling windows giving light to the original ceiling beams and wide board flooring. A full bath and pantry are set off this room. To the rear of the house is a combination kitchen and sitting room with access to the wrap around stone terrace through two sets of French doors. This room is a light and airy space with its generous windows and a propane stove for winter warmth. On the second floor there are three comfortable bedrooms; one with a working fireplace, one with a Juliette balcony and culminating in the main bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a Palladian window overlooking the gardens and the two story barn/garage. The house and barn are set on one acre of land with a half acre parcel and a small pond across the road for view protection. More land available across the street of six acres Listing # 20254357. Queechy lake rights for swimming, boating and ice fishing just up the road. Come step into history and become part of the story of this unique property.
