“Did you see? Gil Schafer is selling Middlefield!” someone DM’d me early one morning last week.
I don’t believe it!
Renowned for his exacting reinterpretations of historic styles, Gil Schafer of Schafer Buccellato Architects is equally admired for his stunning Hudson Valley country home, Middlefield, which helped launch his firm after he built it 26 years ago.
Set on 45 idyllic acres, Middlefield could easily fool you into thinking it was a beautifully restored 19th-century farmhouse. The notable three-bedroom house quickly became a calling card for Gil’s work: new homes that look anything but.
The moment I heard Gil was moving on from Middlefield, I had to ask: Why now? He was kind enough to indulge me.
