A charming farmhouse recently restored in 2008 with all the modern amenities. The kitchen is equipped with an electric range island suitable for entertaining with the adjacent dining and living rooms. Conveniently on the main floor is a half bath and separate laundry room. The second floor are the three generously large bedrooms with two full baths. The home has a new drilled well in 2017 with a reverse osmosis water filtration that was installed in 2012, including a 150 gallon backup water tank. A new hot water heater was installed in 2015. In addition, there is a large garage with a high ceiling (18' x 24') along with a propane heater and 200 AMPS. The Tillson home is in a great location, close to the restaurants and shops in the village of Rosendale and the rail trails. Nearby six miles is New Paltz and a bit further is the Mohonk Preserve, the Gunks Ridge and carriage trails for hiking and biking.
