LEEDS, NEW YORK, USA 581 Gayhead-Earlton Road

In a country as young and buzzing as the US, when a property just 70-odd years younger than the country itself comes on the market, we sit up and listen. Which isn’t a particularly di ffi cult task, considering how very stunning 581 Gayhead-Earlton Road is. Located in the Catskills hamlet of Leeds, New York, the four bedroom property wears its history on its sleeve. With original features like the gable and wing center hall, and the 19th-century addition of a barn converted to a guest house, complete with cathedral ceiling, this abode is exquisite. But this is a property that also exudes modern luxury trappings with a classic bohemian touch. Building on the romance of the house, fl owing curtains frame the large windows, and the hardwood fl oors are decorated with plush carpets. Greenery abounds throughout the estate, with the light- fi lled roomso ff ering gorgeous vistas of New York State’s lush green fi elds and towering trees. The country kitchen connects to the deck beside the grounds, and the living room and parlor are just as inviting for entertaining. Upstairs features two guest rooms and a master bedroom, with a fourth bedroom on the ground fl oor, beside a powder room. $3.95m.
