71 River Rd, New Paltz, NY 12561

Cozy house in a great location between Rosendale and New Paltz. Short wallk to the Walkill River (not in a flood zone) with deeded right of way to the water. Just down the road from the Rail Trail. House feels more spacious than the 1,074 sq. ft. might imply and the separate large studio/office building (450 sq. ft. ) is a great asset. Privately sited backyard is attractively landscaped and large deck with retractable awning off the house great for relaxation and entertainment. Inside is an eat-in kitchen renovated in 2015 including updated cabinetry and appliances. Owners used large room off the LR as an office, but originally a 3rd BR. Wood burning stove in LR can heat the whole house. Improvements include: Culligan Chlorination/Reverse Osmosis filter system (2003); New septic system/1500 gallon tank, gutters, new windows (2004); 14X24 deck and new bathroom fixtures, new roof on cottage, water pressure tank (2005); Deck awning, studio renovation, added insulation (2007); Kitchen & Laundry room floor (2008); foam insulation for cottage, new front door, Levolor Blinds in office (2010); New furnace, hot water heater, and chimney liner (2011). Bring your kayak or canoe down to the river. Less than 2 miles from the Rosendale Bus, 3 miles to village of Rosendale, 5 miles to New Paltz. Previous owner converted the 2 car garage into a 1 car/workshop.
