Set on a generous corner lot in the heart of the village, this stately 1885 Victorian home offers the kind of character and craftsmanship that is increasingly rare, and is just a short stroll to the best that Ellenville has to offer. A charming rocking chair front porch welcomes you. As you step into the grand front entrance, rich with original woodwork details, you feel as if you’ve discovered something truly special. The home blends timeless architectural details with thoughtful modern updates.
Soaring ceilings, pocket doors, and two original fireplaces create a sense of warmth and harken the elegance of a slower time. The formal dining room connects seamlessly to a newly renovated and modern kitchen, designed in harmony with the original butler pantry, balancing practicality, period charm, and a touch of whimsy. A new first-floor bath complements the historic aesthetic beautifully.
A ‘Jack and Jill’ staircase leads to four generously sized bedrooms and a second-floor bath with vintage deco flair. The unfinished third floor (with plumbing!) presents exciting possibilities for a new primary suite, additional bedrooms, or an artist studio.
Beyond its beauty, the home offers substance: newer windows, municipal water & sewer connection, and a solid stone basement speak to care, craftsmanship, and an ease of living. A detached garage with its own full studio apartment offers an income producing rental opportunity, or a private place for guests.
Within easy reach of Minnewaska State Park Preserve and Mohonk Preserve, the location offers immediate access to some of the Hudson Valley’s best hiking and natural outdoor attractions. Spend weekends exploring nearby farmer’s markets, breweries, and the vibrant towns of New Paltz, Rosendale, Accord, and Stone Ridge. Steps away from the commuter bus to midtown NYC, less than two hours to the George Washington Bridge.
