目前的看護者添加了豐富的Farrow & Ball色調，精心挑選了Roll & Hill、Flos和Fritz Hansen的燈飾，並搭配和諧的紋理與材料調色盤，提升了每個房間的格調。原始的寬板地板、高挑的天花板和時代壁爐將這座住宅的傳承根植於其歷史，而流暢的佈局與量身定制的裝飾則對現代品味做出了呼應。

在戶外，庭院被改造成一個私密的綠洲。一個用鹽水加熱的游泳池被藍石圍牆和人字形磚包圍，從後院露台鋪設的人字形磚石階梯通往池邊。完全圍起來的後院被豐富的繡球花、百合和鳶尾花圍繞，形成一個茂盛的季節背景。一座梯田式瀑布潺潺流向一個養著金魚的小池塘，為景觀增添了寧靜的音符。

該物業的故事可以追溯到1799年家的建造，當時它是較大農村土地的一部分，後來成為波基普西的一部分。在19世紀中期，該土地被約翰·羅奇收購，他是一位開創性的造船商和工業家，從愛爾蘭的卑微起步成為美國最大的造船商。他的遺產 —— 以及他與這片土地的聯結 —— 一直延續，成為這座住宅豐富敘事的一部分。

如今，波基普西正在書寫一個令人興奮的新篇章。這裡提供了大學城的活力、寧靜的社區和距離紐約市的便利。不遠處的城市步道計劃連接公園、地標和哈德遜河高架步道，這是世界上最長的高架人行橋。附近的Eastdale Village將餐飲、購物和社區活動融入一個設計周到的可步行設置，擁有餐廳、咖啡館、特色商店以及市場和節日的聚會場所。哈德遜遺產項目和新的精品Vassar Heartwood酒店等發展進一步塑造了城市的未來。隨著1000萬美元的市中心振興計劃資金催生增長，波基普西正處於動態復興之中 —— 使1799年之家不僅成為一個美好的居所，也是興旺發展的社區的一部分。

憑藉更新的系統、細緻的修復以及既永恆又清新的風格，1799年之家同樣適合作為全職住宅或周末度假之所。在這裡，歷史不僅被保存，也得到了重振 —— 就像它所居住的城鎮一樣。

對於尋求真正交鑰匙物業的人，這所住宅可以附帶精心挑選的家具和裝飾，以作額外考量。

Steeped in history and transformed with impeccable taste, The 1799 House is where 18th-century craftsmanship meets modern elegance. Built in 1799 and thoughtfully restored, this historic gem in Dutchess County now pairs its historic soul with refined, design-forward living. Set on 1.7 private acres in the Town of Poughkeepsie with easy access to Metro-North, Amtrak, and a 90-minute drive to NYC, the home unfolds with the quiet confidence of a property where every choice is intentional. Just three miles from Vassar College — with its nationally recognized arboretum, historic architecture, and year-round cultural programming — it offers a rare blend of natural beauty and intellectual vibrancy.

Its current stewards have layered in rich Farrow & Ball hues, curated lighting from Roll & Hill, Flos, and Fritz Hansen, and a harmonious palette of textures and materials that elevates every room. Original wide-plank floors, tall ceilings, and period fireplaces anchor the home in its heritage, while the flowing layout and bespoke finishes speak to modern sensibilities.

The light-filled kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and a gas range, blends seamlessly with the home’s character while offering modern function. The beautifully appointed dining and living rooms — each with newly refurbished gas fireplaces — are connected by a gracious center hall. Off the living room, a private office provides a quiet spot for working from home. Upstairs, the three bedrooms include a primary suite with ensuite bath and a private workout room that could also serve as a second home office. One bedroom is currently appointed as an inviting media room, anchored by a luxe RH sectional sofa paired with mid-century leather chairs.

Outside, the grounds have been transformed into a private oasis. A saltwater, heated pool is framed by bluestone walls and a herringbone brick surround, with stone steps leading from the back patio — also in herringbone brick. The fully fenced backyard is bordered by abundant hydrangea, lily, and iris blooms, creating a lush seasonal backdrop. A terraced waterfall trickles down to a small pool stocked with goldfish, adding a tranquil note to the landscape.

The property’s story reaches back to the home’s construction in 1799, when it stood as part of a larger rural holding in what would later become part of Poughkeepsie. By the mid-19th century, that land was acquired by John Roach, a pioneering shipbuilder and industrialist who rose from humble beginnings in Ireland to become the largest shipbuilder in the United States. His legacy — and his connection to this land — endure as part of the home’s rich narrative.

Today, Poughkeepsie is writing an exciting new chapter. It offers a rare mix of college-town vitality, peaceful neighborhoods, and proximity to New York City. The Urban Trail Project links parks, landmarks, and the Walkway Over the Hudson, the world’s longest elevated pedestrian bridge. Nearby, Eastdale Village brings together dining, shopping, and community events in a walkable, thoughtfully planned setting, with restaurants, cafes, specialty shops, and gathering spots for markets and festivals. Developments such as the Hudson Heritage project and the new boutique Heartwood at Vassar hotel are further shaping the city’s future. With $10 million in Downtown Revitalization Initiative funding fueling growth, Poughkeepsie is in the midst of a dynamic revival — making The 1799 House not only a beautiful place to live, but part of a thriving and evolving community.

With updated systems, meticulous restoration, and a style that is both timeless and fresh, The 1799 House is equally suited as a full-time residence or weekend escape. Here, history is not only preserved, it is revitalized — much like the town it calls home.

For those seeking a true turnkey property, the home can be offered with its curated furnishings and decor for an additional consideration.
