Crow Hill. 1839 Greek Revival villa on 30 acres above Kinderhook Creek in the Catskills. OBSESSED. Need funds.
(I mean, did I miss this in The World of Interiors? Has Gil Schafer been cloned and no one told me? I would move in tomorrow and keep it as-is, minus an antler or two. Cognoscenti, fill me in: who's selling this slice of heaven???)

I'll check the sofa cushions, perhaps we can go in together. You know I have a thing for grotto chairs.
ReplyDeleteHaw! And you know I never met a Charles of London chair I didn't like. Let's star together in postmodern 'Green Acres'!!
ReplyDeletewow, that's an unbelievable space! i used to actually be a market assistant at domino, but i don't think we ever met; i've added your lovely blog to my buddies over at urban flea, and i'd be tickled pink if you'd link to me too!

It belongs to John Knott (Quadrille) who also owns the best modern 70s house in the Pines on Fire Island. http://thedevinelife.blogspot.com/2008/05/country-luncheon.html
ReplyDeleteOMG I always stalk that website pouring over listings for beautiful old country homes and have been lusting over this house for a while too! I can't beleive such a gorgeous home has been sitting on the market for so long! Peggy Lampmann is another hudson area agent with gorgeous listings too! Also- congrats on going out on your own! Very exciting and I have no doubt you'll be a tremendous success! And on a random note, we have a friend in common...Bei at W! Such a small world!

Anon, THANK YOU! I've met Paul at Quadrille (my favorite showroom at the D&D) but never Mr. Knott. Makes perfect sense ... such fabulosity.
ReplyDeleteKatherine, it's always nice to meet an ex-Domino-er. And I love an urban flea! Adding your blog now.
Nicole, nice to e-meet you too and thanks for the encouragement AND the scoop on Hudson real estate porn! It is such a small world -- I miss my Busy Bei, haven't seen her in too long.
I'd loan you the money if I had it, and if we could share.
ReplyDeleteYou are the best.
Stunning!!...so much character! Good luck on going solo...love reading your posts!...
ReplyDeleteNick,
ReplyDeleteNo worries. We can simply split the costs. I'll even take the smaller bedroom in the back.
there. done.
I'll be there on Wednesday.

beautiful and you can't go wrong in the catskills.
ReplyDeletewow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love how the artwork is hung all about on those walls. I do find the kitchen a bit funky for cooking and prep, but hell, what's a kitchen? It's got a beautiful swan painting in it anyway.
ReplyDeleteIs this seriously only $1.9?? Not that I have anywhere near that, but man the market where I live is so inflated... still. That is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, oh Wow, oh Wow. This is a serious case of house lust. And here I am, 1.895 million short.
ReplyDeleteIt's superb
Check out this NYT article on the house, apparently it is haunted! Creepy, no?

Whoops!
ReplyDeleteI wrongly stated that Mr. John Knott had a great 70's house on Fire Island...the house in my head actually belongs to another textile legend Jay Hyde Crawford. http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/08/at-home-a-chat-with-jay-hyde-crawford/
House is insane. Thinking of packing it up in Hollywood and moving there pronto. Hubbie can telecommunicate with Warner Brothers while I putter in the kitchen garden and read Dirk Bogarde books on that wide front porch.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I am telling ALL my NYC friends about your new decorating services. You are a star, baby! xxx
Nick, congratulations on going out on your own! I hope you will attract many clients with both taste and money.
ReplyDeleteYou stole my thoughts, my links.
ReplyDeleteThat was a joke.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new venture!
ReplyDeleteNow for some tough love. You need to update your blog more often. I bumped you up in my long list of interior design blogs that I read. Don't make me move you back down where you used to be in the list. Those who update regularly AND are good reads, are on the top. I thought you were a top.

Is it unusual that the pillars don't have bases?
ReplyDeleteFloor to ceiling 6 over 6 windows-check, double parlors with pocket doors-check, ionic-columned porticoes-check. Nick, I think its time that we look for some investors. :) Great house. Come visit me sometime!-www.lacqueredlife.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIt is a ravishing house. I've longed to visit it but what's the point without the delightful Mr Knott on the premises as host?
ReplyDeleteDon Knotts IS delightful!
ReplyDeleteYou just made my day - I just designed and built a greek revival in Chicago and I know my neighbors think I'm crazy! At least now I know there are others who love the look! I feel like I've found a long lost brother! Linking to your blog. See me at holingcourtblog.blogspot.com. Just moved there from wordpress and would love your visit/opinions/link back if you like it! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you . To all participant, please have a look at our updated contest post.

My house is a Greek Revival, about 20 minutes from there. Am putting mine on the market this Spring. It's a hair under $1.895M. OK, it's a whole freakin' wig under that price! LOL
ReplyDeleteApartment Listings are being harder to find today. You're really inspired me to look harder to find my dream place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great content!
