Sharon’s Take
This 1910 farmhouse on over two acres in Ghent blends period architecture with updated systems. Original roughhewn beams and a stone fireplace anchor the main floor, which holds a kitchen with granite and stainless steel alongside a clawfoot tub bath. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a second bath; the primary bedroom opens to a private balcony. A skylit third floor offers flexible space for guests, work, or studio use. The property includes a three-car garage, full-width front porch overlooking wooded grounds, and a four-person sauna. Located in the Chatham Central school district, Ghent provides proximity to cultural venues like Art Omi and Ten Barn Farm, with Hudson's Amtrak station and New York City both within reach by car.

About this property
Blacksmith House was born ''The Town Ax'', a Ghent farmhouse rebuilt and renovated so its history comes with modern ease. Roughhewn beams from the original structure run through every room. A wood stove sits in the original stone hearth, anchoring the living room. The eat-in kitchen mixes knotty pine, granite, and stainless steel. The main floor bath keeps a clawfoot tub. Upstairs are two bedrooms, and a bath. The primary suite boasts its own private balcony. A skylit third floor flexes as guest space, studio, or office. Period antiques and primitive Americana throughout are available for purchase. Outside enjoy two-plus private, wooded acres from the vantage of a full-width front porch overlooking a grand stone staircase, wildflower plantings, and a four-person barrel sauna. Art Omi and Ten Barn Farm are minutes away. New York City is two and a half hours by car -- or take Amtrak to Hudson, a short drive from the door
