This beautiful Victorian home retains its old-world charm inside and out, yet it's been so well cared for, you'll have little to do to maintain it. Inside, you'll find striking wide-board pine flooring, classic decorative trim, built-in cabinets, and original doors and hardware. The home has comfortably spacious rooms, a full bath on each floor, a well-equipped working kitchen with a lovely breakfast area, and a full dry basement. Outside, enjoy the front porch entry, pretty storybook details, bay windows and second story turret. This turret enhances the primary bedroom with a cozy office space or reading nook. The second floor also hosts three other bedrooms, a bathroom with tub, and access to the gorgeous untouched full attic to use as you wish. The first floor offers spacious rooms for separate living and dining, plus a den and full bathroom with shower. If need be, the den can be easily turned into a sleeping room or private office by closing one of two doorways. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with lush gardens, an inviting covered patio that makes a great outdoor room with a feeling of privacy, and a cute outbuilding. This well-maintained home was recently painted and has a new central heat pump plus a new oil furnace for backup. The garage roof is recent, and the garage offers a full second story that would make a great studio or accessory dwelling unit, now encouraged by the town. Rumor has it that this home's storied past includes hosting both the Tillson post office and a millinery shop. Now it's a wonderful home in the friendly hamlet of Tillson where you can be mere steps from the hugely popular Darlings Roadhouse, less than two miles from Rosendale's quaint Main Street, and a short drive to New Paltz or Kingston. Catch the NYC bus one short block away. It's really a super location.
UPDATED, ELEGANT, VICTORIAN FARMHOUSE. Once, it was the Tillson Post Office and General Store. It had a milliner's shop in the turret section, and you could see hats in the curved bank of windows when you drove up. Now, it's a large and lovely home in a quiet neighborhood, that has preserved its historic charm while being updated. It has its original wide board pine flooring, and much of the original moulding, along with a fully modernized gourmet eat-in kitchen. Large, bright rooms; the living room has a big bay window section, and the fireplace. Full sized dining room, and also another room on the ground floor that can be used as a family room, additional bedroom, or an office; up to you. There's an updated bathroom with a shower on the ground floor. Upstairs is a large master bedroom, with a walk in closet that was probably a nursery. Three other rooms, two with good sized closets. There's also a large hall closet and a full bathroom upstairs. Full basement. Two outbuildings: a barn that has been converted to a two car garage, and a small workshop that was once a summer kitchen. There's a covered outdoor patio too. The home is set on a double corner lot which is large and level. Scotch pine trees are planted along the back border. Mature tulip tree, and a great big oak. Nice, walkable neighborhood. One block walk to NYC bus. Short drive to the Hudson Valley towns of New Paltz, Rosendale and High Falls. Also near the famous Shawangunk mountain range, which, along with mountain biking, hiking and swimming, offers the best places to climb in the northeast.
