Conyn-Van Rensselaer House, 1766 Brick Dutch Colonial in Hudson, New York

If you're a Food Network viewer, you may recognize this house, or more so this kitchen. They belong to Nancy Fuller from the shows Farmhouse Rules, Holiday Baking Championship and Spring Baking Championship. Her upstate New York home has been the location for her show and many of the rooms, as well as the barns and much of the property, has been featured. She is selling her beloved property and now you have a chance to own this piece of history. 

There are links to articles where Nancy talks about the home in the full post. The family dairy farm that she talks about on the show is also for sale. It includes an 1860's farmhouse, but there are no photos of the house. I've added a link to that property in the post as well.

As were the families of Revolutionary War Captains Oliver Hanchett and Lemuel Bates commingled first in honor and then by marriage of their son and daughter, so has Daryl Hall, the renowned performer (of Hall and Oates), conjoined their ancestral homes -- the disestablished and re-erected 1786 Oliver Hanchett House from Suffield, CT and the nearby 1770 Bates Tavern of East Granby, CT -- through a beamed, fireplace and catwalked great room to create a cohesive 24 room country manor house. Basically a tavern and a house adjoined together. Daryl Hall restored this house. He is well known for buying and restoring homes throughout the United States and England including Maine’s oldest dwelling, the John Bray House built in 1662.
