The Houston House is an enchanting and exquisitely maintained estate featuring a restored 1775 Federal-Style Colonial sitting on 5 bucolic acres of gently rolling hills. Rich in history and character, this extraordinary property includes multiple outbuildings, such as the original Dairy Barn, a Root Cellar with a charming second-story loft, a two-car detached garage, a Tool House, and a Chicken Coop. Lovingly cared for over the past 33 years by the same family, this estate has been restored to the highest standards and elegantly decorated to highlight its beauty. It is filled with the warm memories of a lifetime and is truly a piece of Goshen history. One of the original 15 working farms in Goshen, the property was once home to Howell’s Dairy Farm & Creamery. In the 1850’s ownership transferred to E.W. Houston, who continued to run the Dairy Farm, and later, under the watch of son Harold Houston, it became a thriving Flower Farm. The current owner, who worked on the farm in his youth, seized the opportunity to purchase the farm he loved so dearly, and meticulously restored it, blending historical authenticity with modern luxury. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece, featuring a gas fireplace and an AGA Cast Iron Cooker with custom gold-filled hardware. A spacious center island and an inviting atmosphere make it perfect for gathering and enjoying meals by the fire. The banquet-sized formal dining room, complete with another fireplace, is ideal for hosting grand gatherings. Across the wide central hall, the living room boasts artistically crafted decorative archways over the windows, a gleaming hardwood floor, and yet another fireplace, leading into an adjoining sitting room warmed by a fourth fireplace. A graceful hardwood staircase ascends from the first to the third floor, with spacious landings along the way. The second level features four generously sized bedrooms, two with ensuite full bathrooms and two which share a Jack n Jill bathroom. And of course, each bedroom has its own cozy and unique fireplace. A sun-drenched library and a convenient laundry closet complete this level. On the third floor, you'll find a spacious attic with high ceilings, multiple windows that invite natural light, and a separate bonus room, perfect for a variety of uses. The full, unfinished basement offers ample storage with multiple rooms to keep everything organized. Step outside to an enchanting patio and backyard, perfectly positioned to the southeast, where you can take in breathtaking mountain views, stunning sunrises, and peaceful, starry nights amidst beautifully curated gardens. Nestled on a private 5-acre lot with no through traffic, this home offers sublime privacy and tranquility. Whether you're savoring sunsets from the front porch or admiring the brilliance of the night sky in your backyard, this serene retreat provides the perfect balance of nature and comfort
