Inside, the home is warm, distinctive, and filled with the architectural details buyers hope to find in a historic Hudson Valley property. Original plank wood floors, richly toned beams, preserved period features, and a striking stucco wood-burning fireplace bring depth and authenticity to the living spaces.
With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 1,790 square feet of living space, the home offers a flexible layout for full-time living, weekend use, guests, or working from home.

The home features an energy efficient heat pump for both heating and cooling and a Kohler Steeping (extra deep) Japanese-style tub over 22" deep.
The kitchen features granite counters, and central air and forced-air heat provide year-round comfort while preserving the charm of an older home. A walk-out unfinished basement adds useful storage and future potential.
Outside, the property feels like a private retreat. A large deck overlooks the wooded setting and layered landscaping, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet mornings surrounded by nature. An outdoor sauna and shower add a special wellness-focused feature, while the above-ground pool brings added enjoyment during warmer months.
