Welcome to this extraordinary 1848 Colonial Home in the town of New Paltz. This is the first homestead that one sees while heading towards the Mohonk Mountain Preserve leaving New Paltz Village. While it sits on 9.7 acres with sweeping views of the Shawangunk Ridge, the property Is adjacent to 134 acres of Trusted Land which will never see development! In addition to the 2500 square foot, 4 bed, 3 bathroom home, there are 2 large barns and 2 smaller outcroppings. Possibilities are endless as to what one can do with the space and structures. Modern renovations bring this historic beauty into our current sensibilities. Updated plumbing throughout with a higher efficient heating system, including closed cell foam insulation, are some of the recent upgrades. The main floor of this home is where the loving and living will happen. A large open style kitchen with vaulted ceilings, butcher block countertops and farm style sink is where the party always will end up. While leaving the kitchen, you can opt to head to the craft room or to the dining room. Adjacent to the dining room one enters into the living room with the custom built bookcase + cabinet showcasing knowledge, arts,crafts, awards & photos. A majestic staircase leaves the oversized entryway and brings one to the wide planked hardwood floors on the second floor bedrooms and hallway. There are two updated bathrooms on the second floor; one is attached to the primary bedroom and the other is begging for a stand alone, claw foot tub. Easy walk up access to the attic with tons of storage is off of the main 2nd floor hallway. On the other side of the grand staircase, one will find the laundry room in a summer kitchen with a bath and additional living room. This exceptional home is great on its own, however the local history of this property is outstanding. The Who's who of New Paltz families : The Hasbrouck, Deyo, & Van Alst Families owned the land or this specific property. In 1891, this property was called "the View House Farm".
