The Stable, AKA Wagner House, has a rich history and served as a barn for 5 or 6 horses from the 1830s, for many years, and later as a hat factory. In 1891, Mr. Wagner bought the barn and remodeled it to be the fine residence it is today. The home also opened its doors to the public in the late 20th century, early 21st, as a Bed and Breakfast. Accordingly, its former owner installed a large bronze sculpture of a thoroughbred racehorse on the front lawn, as a nod to its equestrian past!
Today, this gracious late 19th century home, sits proudly on a knoll, behind an old sandstone wall, with extraordinary views of the Hudson River in front and a 10+ mile nature trail - old rail trail, in the rear.
