Colonial Charm on 2 Acres in New Paltz! 903 Old Post Rd sits on a quiet road in New Paltz, close enough to the village for daily errands, yet set back enough to feel removed from it. From here, Rosendale, High Falls, and Kingston are all a short drive away, putting the farmers markets, swimming holes, breweries, and trails of the Hudson Valley well within reach. The property itself spans two acres of pastoral grounds, framed by mature trees, with a backyard that slopes gently down into the woods, offering real usable space beyond the house itself. A covered front porch marks the entry and sets the tone for what's inside: a traditional colonial layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A formal living room, or front parlor, sits to the right, while a formal dining room anchors the left, giving the home a natural rhythm for hosting family and guests. Down the hall, a half bath serves the main floor before opening into the true center of the house, an open kitchen and den with counter seating, a casual dining area, and sliding doors out to the back deck. It's a layout built around togetherness, where cooking, homework, and downtime can all happen in view of one another. Upstairs, the home continues to deliver space where it counts. A generously sized primary suite offers a private retreat, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a full family bathroom. An expansive flex space rounds out the second floor, well suited to a guest room, home office, playroom, or exercise space, depending on what the next chapter calls for. The finished basement adds another dimension entirely, with a full bathroom, its own private entrance, and sliding doors leading out to a hardscaped patio with views of the backyard. It functions equally well as a self contained guest suite, an in law arrangement, or a dedicated home office, separated from the rest of the house but still connected to the same setting. Outside, the property is designed for year round use. Between the back deck, the basement level patio, and a firepit area, there is ample room for outdoor dining, entertaining, and gardening. A two car attached garage and central air conditioning round out the home's practical amenities. Taken together, the acreage, the layout, and the setting make 903 Old Post Rd a rare combination for this part of New Paltz, a home equally suited to full time living or as a well appointed retreat from the city. * Sale contingent on owner securing suitable housing.

You'll love this house the moment you step onto the porch and through the door. Open layout, comfortable spaces and lots of room to roam define this bright and light-filled two-story home. Kitchen and living room are divided by a breakfast bar. NEVER AGAIN COOK ALONE! Pantry and laundry room are easily accessible from there as well. Right outside the sliding glass doors, you'll find the perfect spot for the BBQ on the deck. In the winter you can see the Mohonk Tower from there. In the spring, summer and fall, you'll have ever changing foliage right before your eyes creating privacy and connectedness with nature. Next to the kitchen a formal dining room opens into a sitting room (perfect spot for a piano). From there you'll loop back into the living room. This setup is ideal for entertainment as well as quiet enjoyment. Upstairs, three bedrooms (one of them a master suite with walk-in closet) awaits. But there's more: at the end of the hall, away from everything, there's a bonus room. Your TV/Media/Play/Office/Workout/Guest bedroom. Perfect for anything you'd like it to be. Besides the master bath, there's one additional bathroom upstairs. The walk out basement is finished and features a full bath with a beautiful, over sized, tiled shower. You'll be so popular with your guests they'll never want to leave. Okay, that might not be a good thing. Moving right along. A sliding door lets you out onto a terrace. There's a hook-up for a hot tub right there. The current owner is taking hers with her. She said she can't be without it but she tells me that you can see the stars and the Mohonk Tower from the tub. Location: New Paltz schools, close to Kingston strand and downtown New Paltz, half hour to the train station in Poughkeepsie and ten minutes to the bus in Rosendale. There, you'll find the rail trail for hiking and biking, an indie movie theater, restaurants, and many other cool places to visit.
