    What's special

    Full-width front porchWildflower plantingsFour-person barrel saunaGrand stone staircase
    Blacksmith House, once called The Town Ax, is 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 and anchors 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, with a washer and dryer in the second-floor hallway closet. The primary suite has its own private balcony. A skylit third floor works as guest space, a studio, or an office. The property sits on two parcels totaling 2.06 acres of private, wooded land. From a full-width front porch, you look over a grand stone staircase, wildflower plantings, and a four-person barrel sauna. The home is currently operated as a short-term rental. Buyers should verify the Columbia County STR registration, occupancy tax obligations, and zoning before relying on this use. 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.
