Description

Rarely are you able to find a 19th century farmhouse that has been so thoroughly and more importantly, thoughtfully expanded and updated. The current and former owners of this enchanting home have managed to tastefully enlarge this home in a way that provides for a more open and modern feel, while preserving what makes this period and style of architecture so charming. All you'll need is your toothbrush to move into this lovely property situated on a beautifully landscaped 1.6 acre parcel with an additional 0.2 acre separately deeded and build-able parcel across the road. A recent addition to the ground level included a smart new side entry foyer-mudroom, a fully tiled bath and a beautiful bright and spacious living room. This addition was built off the back of the existing home and connects directly with the home's large gourmet eat-in kitchen and dining room. More recently, the current owners connected the living room via French doors and created a truly stunning 28'x12' four-season sunroom. This room features a ceramic tile floor, retractable Thinsulate thermal blinds on the ceiling, which help regulate light and temperature and a ductless mini split for heating and cooling! This extraordinary space offers both privacy and tranquil views of the sky and surrounding side and backyard gardens. The elegance and comfort continue throughout the first floor living level with a spacious sun-drenched kitchen and dining area, featuring warm butcher block counter tops, a classic porcelain farm sink, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolf gas stove and a cozy bow window bed. Rounding out the living level is the former living room-parlor complete with wood burning fireplace. Currently used as a Den-TV room it now offers the opportunity to be a third ground level bedroom. Additional updates include a new roof, exterior paint job, central A/C, premium replacement windows, new oil tank and new well pump. The grounds offer many mature trees, extensive perennial plantings and a Bavarian Style garage, built on an old rustic stone foundation. The separately deeded lot has an existing well and septic system and could accommodate studio or workshop and currently offers accessory parking. This quaint country oasis is only minutes to Historic Uptown Kingston, and the Main Streets of Rosendale, New Paltz and Stone Ridge and all they have to offer.
