A true time capsule with the bones to back it up. Set graciously atop a gently sloped 1.1. acre parcel, this 1,248 square foot 1920 Craftsman-style home with gambrel roof and large front porch is ready to be restored to its former glory. The home's large front porch with stone walk and small back patio are the perfect places to enjoy the serene views surrounding the home -- bordered by nearly 80 wooded acres, the property has a park-like feel that provides a sense of privacy and is truly special. Plenty of space for expansive gardens, croquet & badminton or some simple al fresco eating! All topped off by an ample sized two car garage great for cars, workshop or storage. The three bedroom, one bathroom home has a lovely and highly efficient four square floor plan. The generously proportioned windows contribute a sense of expanse to the efficient but comfortable, easy to manage size. Original details remain throughout: hardwood floors, Craftsman colonnades between the living and dining rooms, trim, doors and hardware. The charming foyer leads to the second floor, retro eat-in kitchen, and beautiful living and dining rooms. The second floor has a large bathroom, sure to inspire for updates, and three modestly sized but beautiful bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has walk up access to the half story attic -- a potential extra storage or closet space with some clever design. A full basement also provides potential for expanded storage, workshop or laundry room. Major systems have been updated within the last 15 years, including the roof, septic, and boiler, leaving mostly cosmetic exterior restoration and interior updates for the next owner. Sold as-is and in need of updates and electrical work. Centrally located between New Paltz and Kingston, just over a mile from downtown Rosendale and trailways bus station to NYC, and the sweeping views from the Rosendale Trestle. The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail is minutes away, with the Rail Trail Cafe a perfect first stop. Town of Rosendale, Kingston school district.
