2073 County Route 5, Canaan, NY 12029

Welcome to Tilden Crossing House, a distinctive country home with old-world charm. Privately sited down a long, gravel, wildflower-lined drive on over seven acres of pastoral Columbia County landscape, the property offers a unique approach to architectural storytelling through its carefully selected vintage elements. The 3,350-square-foot center-hall residence captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship through wide-plank floors, ornate moldings, an intricately carved banister, and rough-hewn beams that conjure days gone by. The main level offers living and dining rooms with working fireplaces, complemented by a sun-filled library featuring built-in bookcases. A fully renovated kitchen anchors the home's contemporary functionality, with stone counters, a Wolf range, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Recently added windows and updated interior lighting enhance the space, creating a warm and inviting environment. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms include a primary suite with a wood-burning fireplace and ridgeline views. Both full bathrooms have been tastefully updated, while a finished basement provides over 600 square feet of flexible living space, with a laundry room, half bath, storage, and plenty of room for recreation. The exterior showcases a standing-seam metal roof, new siding and paint, and carefully landscaped garden beds. A heated gunite pool with a retractable cover stands as the property's centerpiece. Flanked by a huge bluestone patio and surrounded by a white picket fence and mature trees, it's a sparkling oasis for hosting epic dinner parties, or getting lost in a book on the chaise. Located within 20 minutes of Chatham and Lenox, with easy access to Hudson, Albany and nearby skiing at Jiminy Peak and Catamount, this turnkey home offers historic character, modern comfort, and year-round enjoyment in a quiet corner of Columbia County.
