Description

In the heart of the Germantown hamlet, one of the Hudson Valley's most beloved villages, 228 Main Street is a historic Victorian farmhouse where walkable village living, open skies, and sweeping countryside exist in rare harmony. Historic character, generous outdoor space, and mixed-use flexibility create a property unlike any other.
One approaches this 1900s Victorian farmhouse and is greeted by an expansive front porch, perfect for a quiet read or morning coffee.
