Description

A HOME WITH A TALE TO CAST...AND STORIES TO TELL! Dating back to 1834, this charming Hudson Valley farmhouse is a home rich in history, character, and the kind of timeless appeal that simply cannot be recreated. Nestled along a quiet country road on 2.8 acres, with views of the Shawangunk Ridge, this special property offers a wonderful opportunity to embrace a slower pace of life. Inside, the four-bedroom home showcases the craftsmanship and architectural details of a bygone era. Beautiful wide-plank wood floors, original fireplaces, traditional moldings, period woodwork, and a graceful staircase with a curved railing are reminders of the artistry that went into homes of this period. With two separate living areas, two entrances, and two staircases, including the formal staircase and a secondary back staircase, the layout lends itself to a variety of living arrangements, including potential multigenerational living. Two furnaces and two hot water heaters add to the home's unique configuration. For generations, this home has been a place to gather, share stories, celebrate traditions, and make lasting memories. Its history includes a longtime owner who was a respected local fly fisherman, sharing his knowledge and passion for the sport with others right here at the property. It's just one of the many stories woven into the fabric of this remarkable farmhouse. Just beyond the farmhouse stands a classic red, two-story barn, a wonderful reminder of the property's agricultural roots. Complete with a hayloft, tack room, and electricity, the barn offers exciting possibilities for hobby farming, animals, a workshop, antique cars, equipment storage, or creative pursuits. The 2.8-acre setting provides room for expansive gardens, outdoor gatherings, and enjoying the changing seasons. Located within the Pine Bush School District, this farmhouse is ready for its next chapter. With its original character, versatile spaces, and opportunities for thoughtful restoration and personalization, it's a property for someone who appreciates the beauty of the past and the possibilities of the future.
