Number 8 Bennett Lane is a gracious historic house in an ideal village location.

The house has an elegant floor plan with large rooms, high ceilings, and a natural flow. Large front and back halls provide convenient access to two wings that incorporate a spacious eat-in kitchen with adjoining family room at one end and a private first floor primary suite with its own enclosed porch at the other end.

The laundry and powder room are conveniently located in the hall adjacent to the kitchen. The sunny and open kitchen is ideal for the chef/baker while also being a great entertainment space.

Sliding glass doors invite guests onto a beautiful creekside bluestone terrace, expanding the entertainment space, and bringing the outdoors in. Dine alfresco and enjoy the sounds of the babbling Ten Mile Creek that runs right along the property.

One of Rensselaerville's first houses, this residence is ideal for modern living; there really is no need to change anything.

The carriage house has a finished slab floor and a large second floor loft. There is plenty of room for multiple cars as well as a separate workshop and storage.

The property directly abuts the 2,000-acre Huyck Preserve with miles of marked hiking trails, waterfalls, and a large lake. Rensselaerville is a charming historic hamlet ideal for weekend escapes, beautiful summers, winter adventures, and full-time living.

Manhattan is two-and-a-half hours away; and Albany, with its international airport, is an easy forty-minute commute.
