This renovated late 1800s barn in Tivoli has been sold five times, and a few weeks ago it hit the market for $ 1.875 million. The Tivoli Barn, as it is known (and which, by the way, has a rating of 4.92 out of 263 reviews as well as more than 14,000 followers on its Instagram account), is the work of a duo of designers and artists and is heavy with exposed beams and wide plank floors. One of the advisors, event organizer Lilli Sherman, told us that she was particularly fond of the wood stove, calling it “a real treat.” In its current version, the two-and-a-half-storey barn can accommodate up to five people, although there aren’t really any actual bedrooms; instead, there are several ‘partially private sleeping nooks’ upstairs which are separated by curtains. (One could easily imagine erecting walls and separating them well.)

According to listing agent Annabel Taylor of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty, the owners are selling to dive into a “new business” about 30 miles north of Columbia County.
