60 Shivertown Rd, New Paltz, NY 12561

Tucked into New Paltz within easy reach of the village, 60 Shivertown Road opens to a wooded, private setting out back, where an expansive deck floats among the treetops and looks onto nothing but green. The blue clapboard farmhouse makes its first impression with a covered front porch and brick steps, framed by mature trees and rhododendron. Inside, original hardwood floors run through a bright, open main level. The living and dining rooms flow into one another, washed in natural light from windows that look into the surrounding trees. The kitchen carries real personality: warm oak cabinetry, a gas range, and a hand-painted tile backsplash. A wood Dutch-style door opens to the rear deck, a place built for slow mornings and long evenings under the canopy. A first-floor bedroom and a full bath round out the main level, offering true single-level living for anyone who wants it. Upstairs, a finished attic creates a private retreat all its own: a second bedroom with its own full bath. The walk-out lower level adds even more flexibility. Once used as an art studio, it keeps its built-in shelving and its own entrance, ready to become a family room, a home office, a guest space, or a studio once again. Beyond the home, the location does the rest of the work. The Thruway and SUNY New Paltz are minutes away, and the Shawangunk ridge, with its celebrated hiking and rock climbing, along with the rail trail, sits within easy reach. Whether it becomes a weekend retreat or a year-round first home, 60 Shivertown Road offers a rare combination: an easy-to-reach setting and a private, wooded escape just beyond the back door.
