Set on two peaceful acres at the end of a private country lane, this distinctive 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath Colonial farmhouse offers a rare blend of history, charm, and natural beauty. Bordering the western edge of the Leon Levy Preserve, the property enjoys a tranquil setting surrounded by gardens, stone walls, and open green spaces.
Originally built around 1900 as the caretaker's residence for the former Open Country estate, the home has been thoughtfully preserved to honor its heritage. Vintage materials and period details reflect a commitment to maintaining its original character while offering comfortable living for today.
The property retains the feel of a classic early American colonial farm, complete with meandering gardens, a rustic root cellar, and chickens that add to its timeless appeal. Rich in history and full of personality, this is a special opportunity to own a piece of South Salem's past.
