294 Old Ravena Road, Selkirk, NY 12158

The Tobias Ten Eyck House, built in 1755 in the Hudson River Dutch vernacular style with a traditional gambrel roof, is now for sale for the first time in a generation. Rare original details remain intact, including a built-in corner cupboard with scalloped shelves and plate grooves, wide-board floors, original plaster walls, hand-wrought hardware and hinges and many more period features found throughout the house. Two large reception rooms with deep window seats flank the main entrance hall, each with a large fireplace mantel. The north parlor has a full paneled wall surrounding the fireplace with original cupboard doors to one side. The kitchen wing to the rear of the house is large enough for a farm table and an island. Above the kitchen are the servants rooms accessed by an enclosed staircase and separated from the main body of the house. Two large bedrooms are up the grand staircase in the main hall as well as a full second floor bath and a dressing room. A large red barn graces the meadow behind the house and the rushing Coeymans Creek bisects the 87-acre farm. Beautiful views of fields and woodlands surround the house where one owns almost all that is seen. Selkirk is south of Albany and north of Catskill/Coxsackie in a lovely semi-rural area of Albany County.
