“The Colonial” - Queen of Taconic Avenue One of the original summer “cottages” gracing historic Taconic Avenue, The Colonial is a crown jewel of Manchester Village. Painstakingly renovated, this stately home perfectly balances old-world charm with modern sophistication. The heart of the home is a stunning new chef's kitchen, seamlessly blending timeless design with today's comforts. All-new windows, updated electrical and plumbing, and thoughtful improvements throughout breathe new life into this historic residence while preserving its character and grace. The first floor offers multiple inviting sitting areas, a formal dining room ideal for gatherings, and elegant spaces for entertaining. Upstairs, the second floor features four beautifully appointed bedrooms and three fully renovated bathrooms, including twin en-suites. The master suite is highlighted by a spa-inspired bath, complete with a soaking tub overlooking the majestic slopes of Mount Equinox. A versatile third floor offers additional guest rooms or flexible living space. Outdoors, the wraparound porch-often called the finest sitting porch in Manchester Village-sets the stage for warm summer evenings, conversation, and al fresco dining. A detached carriage house provides further opportunity as a private in-law apartment or a spacious work-from-home retreat. Steeped in history yet fully renewed for modern living, The Colonial is a true gem in the heart of Manchester Village. Homes of this caliber rarely come to
