About the Listing o2268A - 21818
In 1763, Quaker John Allen sailed by sloop from Dartmouth, Massachusetts up the Hudson River to Lansingburgh before walking north to claim land in White Creek. He and his wife Mary first lived in a log cabin on the property before constructing this remarkable home in 1770 — a home that has stood for over 250 years. Rich in early American character and remarkably preserved, the residence features six fireplaces (three lined and operational), including a classic beehive oven, wide pine floorboards worn smooth by centuries, original strap hinges and hardware, and rare surviving glass window panes. In the birthing room, original paint stenciling remains — a quiet and intimate reminder of life in the 18th century. A second-floor center balcony reflects John Allen's role as Supervisor of the Road beginning in 1777, adding both architectural charm and historical significance. The property remained in the Allen family until 1972 and has had only three owners in its history — a rare stewardship of legacy. Set back from the road behind a traditional snake fence crafted of split locust rails, the grounds are equally compelling. A smokehouse and three-bay carriage barn anchor the landscape, while access to a stream and the Little White Creek enhances the pastoral setting. Since 1989, the current owner has thoughtfully enhanced the property with extensive stone paths and patio hardscaping, curated flower gardens, expansive vegetable gardens, two apple trees, mature blueberry and raspberry bushes, an established asparagus bed, and a greenhouse. An outdoor wood boiler provides an alternative heating source alongside the oil-burning furnace. Sweeping views to the north and east frame the surrounding countryside and may very well persuade you to become the fourth steward of this extraordinary historic estate.
