This perfect two bedroom New England-style farm cottage in the historic Columbia County hamlet of Livingston was purchased several years ago by a world-renowned interior designer as a guesthouse for her home. She supervised its complete renovation with an open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen equipped with all-new appliances, and then furnished the house with artworks and vintage items drawn from her private collection. The result is a singular combination of country comfort and chic design, with an enclosed backyard space suitable for outdoor dining and quiet relaxation. The property includes a garage and a generator. The house itself is nestled in the hamlet, but it is literally steps away from a surrounding landscape of rolling farmland and dramatic Catskill views. Livingston is a 15-minute drive from Hudson, Germantown, Tivoli, and Red Hook.
