Description

Farmhouse charm, mountain magic, and nearly two centuries of history. Set on three beautiful acres bordered by state conservation lands, this 1845 farmhouse offers nearly 2,800 square feet of living space, thoughtfully updated for modern living while holding on to all the character that makes an old country house so special. Inside, original details shine. Hardwood floors, a stone-floored entry, and a charming Dutch door set the tone. The main level offers an inviting eat-in kitchen with a sweet breakfast nook, a formal dining room anchored by a riverstone fireplace, and a spacious living room that opens to both the rocking-chair front porch and side deck. A main-level bedroom, full bath, and laundry room add everyday practicality. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with a skylight perfectly positioned for stargazing from bed, plus a private bath with a classic clawfoot soaking tub. An additional full bath serves the other bedrooms, while the upstairs landing offers a lovely little spot to settle in with a book and watch the seasons change through the windows. Outside, the three-acre property is every bit as charming as the house itself. A mix of wooded privacy, gently sloping terrain, and established gardens creates a setting that feels quintessentially upstate. A mature perennial cutting garden brings color throughout the growing season, while a bluestone-walled firepit invites evenings under the stars. Adding to the property's story is the original local ice house, a wonderful piece of history with plenty of character and possibility. And while the farmhouse wears its 1845 roots beautifully, the updates are decidedly modern. Improvements include new windows, a whole-house generator, a heat pump and mini-splits throughout, a new water heater, water filtration system, and a new well. The kind of thoughtful investments that make country living that much easier. Whether you're looking for a full-time home in the country or a weekend escape with room to spread out, this farmhouse has all the makings of something special. Local favorites Farmers Daughter Market, Foundry42, Baskakill Winery, and Fox ‘N Hare Brewery are all a short drive away. And despite its tucked-away setting, it's surprisingly convenient: just four minutes to I-84, approximately 12 minutes to the train station with service to NYC, 15–20 minutes to Middletown, and 90 minutes to the George Washington Bridge.
