This thoughtfully renovated farm house is the proverbial needle in a haystack for Hudson Valley buyers: a move-in-ready 19th-Century property with well-preserved charm but plenty of modern updates, plus privacy, quiet and convenience, too. Situated on 1.6 acres, with an additional .2-acre build-able lot across the lane, the house has been expanded to include a new entry foyer, full bathroom and spacious living room on the ground floor, now opening through French doors to a spectacular glass-roofed 4-season sunroom that takes full advantage of the surrounding view of hillsides and gardens. Warm and stylish is the tone throughout, from the original front porch featuring carefully restored period brackets, all the way through the original front parlor, now suitable for use as a ground-floor bedroom, and the light-filled and beamed dining and kitchen area featuring Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and a charming window-bed nook. Upstairs are 2 sunny bedrooms featuring custom built-in storage, an additional full bath, and access to a spacious attic. Numerous recent updates include central air conditioning, a new roof, a new oil tank, high-end replacement windows, and an exterior paint job. Outside, the property features lovely mature trees and plantings, plus a unique Bavarian-style garage. The separate parcel across the lane, once the site of a house, and with its own well and septic system still in place, is ready for construction of a new house or studio. Replete with all the charms and privacy of a rural farm house, the property is also centrally located, with the popular Wallkill Valley rail trail, Uptown Kingston and the village centers of Rosendale, New Paltz and Stone Ridge all just minutes away.
