Our Take

34 Poverty Hollow Road is a circa-1787 antique house with 1960s and 1995 additions on 2-plus acres. Tree-lined grounds include slate walkways, native plantings, a stone terrace, a heated in-ground pool, two sheds, and a detached two-car garage. Inside are 10 rooms with wide-board and random-width flooring. The original section retains wavy-glass windows and a beehive fireplace, while later additions provide a family room, solarium, and main-level primary suite with a private study.
