With portions dating pre Revolutionary War and others just after, with little to no modern updates, this home is a rare find among historic homes. Seated in Duchess county, upon 3.5 acres, this Federal period estate is a true time capsule of American history. Boasting original woodwork with beautiful architectural features, high ceilings, exposed beams, wide board floors, Dutch doors, original Pal
ladian windows and five fireplaces, the home was the showplace of a 250 acre farm homesteaded by Garret Storm and later his son John. Besides its architectural features, The John Storm House holds a special place in Revolutionary War history. Garret Storm, a patriot, was abducted by the Tories and hanged in the attic. Left for dead, he was rescued by one his slaves, a woman named Eype Shouten. Upon his will, Garret left a legacy to his, "good and faithful maid" directing his executors to look after her during her natural lifetime. Eype rests in the slave cemetery, marked with a placard not far from the property. Just under two hours from New York City, the home is available for rentals and offers a pristine backdrop for film and photo shoots, parties and tours. Owned and operated by Andy and Erin, a Brooklyn couple whose passion for history and design lead them to this gem. Our mission is to cherish, preserve and champion this grand estate and bring her back to her former glory.
