This lovingly restored eyebrow-colonial will surely capture your heart. Located in the desired New Paltz School District, just 90 miles north of NYC, the classic charm of this home has been carefully restored by blending the best of the old and the new. The red-metal roof, bilco basement door, and exposed beams throughout the house add to its character. Summer barbecues will become common place on the beautiful stone patio overlooking your five acres of pure, peaceful privacy. Step inside and envision meals and gatherings on your enclosed porch. Or you might want to entertain guests in your quaint living room, just off the eat-in-kitchen. You and your guests will appreciate the completely renovated bathrooms. The kitchen has been updated as well to include all brand new appliances and a fresh Ikea butcher-block counter top. The farm-house styled porcelain kitchen sink remains and completes the kitchen's classic feel. This home provides a master-suite with barn-house door, walk-in closet/laundry room, and separate bathroom. All of the hardwood floors have been refinished throughout the downstairs. The kitchen and porch maintain the original wide-planked wood floors with grace and beauty. Upstairs, the dark-wood laminate flooring provides a more modern feel. There is ample storage space offered upstairs in the built-in cabinets and attic. In the basement, the newly poured concrete floor will provide for all of your additional storage needs. Brand new systems and appliances include: furnace, well-pump, hot-water heater, range, dishwasher, fridge, washer, dryer. There is also a new back door, all new bathroom and bedroom doors, and a newly-graveled driveway. This home is perfect for either the first-time home buyer or those looking for a weekend getaway.
This is a Fannie Mae HomePath property. Calling all antique Lovers! What a great opportunity to restore this 1754 Eyebrow Colonial to it's simple glory. This certainly has stood the test of time gracefully. Come enhance the existing charm or peel back the layers of time to make discoveries about it's past! There is some wide board flooring and you may find more under the hardwood, parquet flooring and carpeting. Fireplace with wood surround and mantle plus another wood stove hookup. Two spacious bedrooms upstairs with high ceilings and built in cupboard space. Terrific country location with 5+/- acres to enjoy. Private setting is idyllic, but not isolated. You can sit out on the stone patio and enjoy the open land out back. An old wooden shed, plus two other metal sheds for all the garden tools, potting up the plants for the garden and storage for the mower and lawn chairs. Some great spots back there for the hammock too. Lightly wooded with mature trees for that mix of sun and shady spots. Minutes to the NYS Thruway and Villages of New Paltz and Highland. Couldn't ask for a better location!
