Renovated Gothic Farmhouse in New York’s Hudson Valley

This Hudson Valley home is a stunning example of a historic Gothic Revival farmhouse that has been masterfully renovated with a bold, eclectic, and artistic interior design aesthetic. Built around 1871, the house seamlessly blends original architectural features with vibrant, modern touches. Exterior The house presents a striking and moody exterior, painted in a dark gray or blue-gray hue that sets it apart from traditional farmhouses. Key architectural details include: • A steeply pitched metal roof with prominent cross-gables, typical of the Gothic Revival style. • A welcoming, full-width covered front porch with dark columns. • A detached red barn and over two and a half acres of land, adding to the property's rural charm. • Newly hardscaped outdoor patio with built in firepit and long driveway, including accent border. Interior The interior design is a captivating contrast between dark, dramatic paint choices and colorful, pop-art inspired accents. The main hallway features deep black walls and trim, highlighting the natural wide plank wood flooring that runs throughout much of the home. Living Areas The living spaces embrace an open concept and feature a mix of modern and vintage elements across all spaces; • Main Living Room • Dining Room • Breakfast/Dining Nook • Powder Room • Home Office • Master and Guest Bedrooms • Workout Room • Separate Basement Mother-In-Law Apartment Renovation Design Aesthetics The renovation design aesthetics emphasize a bold, eclectic blend of historic architecture and vibrant, contemporary artistic expression. This approach creates a visually dynamic and highly personalized living space that intentionally moves away from conventional farmhouse styles. The unique nature of the renovation lies in several key design choices: • Dramatic Contrast: A defining feature is the use of dark, moody paint colors, such as black and deep charcoal gray, on exterior siding, interior walls, and trim. This dramatic backdrop highlights original features like wide plank wood flooring and architectural details while making the colorful accents "pop". • Eclectic Styling: The design eschews a single style in favor of mixing periods and genres. Mid-century modern furniture, such as Eames-style chairs and a marble-topped coffee table, sits alongside pop-art elements and contemporary lighting like sputnik chandeliers. • Pop Art and Color: Vibrant, playful art installations and decor are integrated throughout the home. Examples include a large geometric mural installation in the entrance hallway and polka dot accents in the living room, a multi-colored gallery wall in the dining nook, and a bold floral wallpaper in the powder room. These unexpected bursts of color add personality and an "artist's touch". • Modern Functionality: While maintaining the house's historic character, the renovation incorporates modern finishes and functionality, such as a fully renovated kitchen and updated bathrooms, ensuring comfortable contemporary living.
