The Edward Herrington House, circa 1886 - 1898 is one of the historic homes in the charming hamlet of Hillsdale, New York. A multi-centuries old sugar maple greets you as you enter this quaint Hamlet Historic District home. This spacious 3-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom heritage residence takes you back in time with its many original details while providing important updates. Read a book from the built-in library in the sitting room, or gather by the centrally located woodstove on cold winter days, which really does heat the house, and relax in the peaceful upstairs screen-in sleeping porch in the warmer months. Enjoy the private fenced backyard with a stone patio, raised garden beds and a nice sized shed for storage. Some other amenities include a reverse osmosis water filtration system, hardwood floors throughout, built-in cabinets and even a Murphy bed and more. The location is ideal for those looking for a village home in a rural community. Right down the road you will find the Harlem Valley Rail Trail and the Roe Jan Brewing Co. renowned for it's wood-fired pub menu and a wide variety of craft beers brewed on-site. The brewery also sits inside the historic 1851 Hillsdale Mercantile Building. Checkout downtown Hillsdale's local shops, restaurants, farmers markets, parks, library, antiquing, and only 6 minutes from Catamount's Adventure Park, which offers year-round attractions including snow skiing, concerts, ropes course and the longest zip line in the USA. Tanglewood and the Norman Rockwell Museum are about 30 minutes away too. Hillsdale sits between the vital waterway of the Hudson River - the river that flows both ways - and the beautiful ancient rolling hills of the Berkshire Mountains. Hillsdale is about 2 hours from New York City and 2.5 hours from Boston. It is equal distance to Hudson, NY and Great Barrington, MA. The Metro-North train station in Wassaic and the Amtrak station in Hudson makes it easy to travel to New York City. Enjoy this vintage homestead with all it has to offer within historic Columbia County, New York, known for its beautiful mix of rural farmland, artsy towns, nature, and home to several properties recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.
