* OPEN HOUSE MAY 2nd 12-2 * Steeped in nearly two centuries of Columbia County heritage, The Sutherland House offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of the Kinderhook areas earliest and most architecturally significant residences and an opportunity to further restore and personalize over time.
Originally part of a sprawling 800-acre farm, this distinguished 1838 Italianate manor rests along quiet Maple Lane, set on 1.4 acres of mature trees and established perennials. The setting feels peaceful and private, with a natural estate-like feel from the surrounding landscape.
Inside the 4,100-square-foot home, the homes in tact and original details make an immediate impression. Soaring ceilings, deep mouldings, hand-tooled millwork, original radiators, and floor-to-ceiling windows speak to a level of craftsmanship that has endured generations. Dutch doors inscribed with the family surname and antique skeleton keys that have quietly passed through time help preserve the home's original character. The main level has been thoughtfully restored, blending original details with livable spaces that feel timeless and welcoming.
A later addition introduces a full kitchen, bath, and mudroom, fully functional as it stands, while offering a natural canvas for a more updated renovation.
Upstairs, the second floor invites an imaginative eye. Currently configured with three bedrooms, beneath some carpet are hardwood floors while original doors, trim, and hardware remain beautifully intact. A second kitchen, dining, laundry, and full bath complete the second floor with the potential to evolve into something truly special: guest quarters, a private retreat, or creative studio space.
With updated mechanicals and a newer metal roof already in place, the essential work has been done - allowing the next owner to focus on restoration, refinement, and vision at their own pace.
Outdoors, a gracious U-shaped drive offers dual access from two quiet country roads. Just moments from the village centers of Kinderhook, Valatie, and Hudson, the setting feels peaceful yet well connected.
