Tucked behind a line of tall hedges and wrapped in vines, Noxon House feels like something you’d stumble across in a storybook. Built in 1770 by Benjamin Noxon, it’s pure Georgian charm, which encapsulates perfect symmetry, graceful proportions, and that quiet sense of balance that makes everything feel just right. The gardens are overflowing with peonies and hydrangeas, and the acre backs onto a little stream, with nothing but protected land beyond. It’s private, green, and feels like you’ve stepped into the english countryside.

Step inside and the history is everywhere. Featuring wide plank floors, handblown glass windows, original hardware, which are all preserved with care by the current owner who happens to be a designer. The kitchen with its Dutch door, hearth, and big center island feels like the heart of the home. The dining room is flooded with light and anchored by a brick fireplace and built-in cabinetry that’s been there for centuries.

Upstairs, three bedrooms include a sunlit primary suite, plus a generous office and even a little reading nook tucked on the landing. The basement has been finished as a gym, though it could easily be something else- just use your imagination. And just beyond the house, the barn complete with a metal roof makes it ready to become a studio, guesthouse, or whatever you dream up.

Best part? You get all this history and beauty just six minutes from a Metro-North station an hour and a half to NYC. Noxon House is one of those Hudson Valley homes that feels both timeless and completely livable, which is something rare and special
