Welcome to 8 Orchard, a meticulously maintained c1865 farmhouse and guest cottage located in the hamlet of Rhinecliff, less than a half mile to Amtrak and 5 minutes to Rhinebeck Village. The two residences on this property are a combined approx. 2500 sqft with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and feature a lovely mix of historical integrity and modern updates from the impeccable hardwood floors and arched doorways to the all-new Marvin windows and electric heat pumps for heating and cooling, in both houses. The approx. 1800 sqft main home with views of the Hudson River from the front porch has three levels with access to the second floor at the front of the house or to the lower 1st-floor level off the back patio. Entering through the front of the farmhouse, the open floor plan features two large living room spaces separated by French doors that could be used in multiple ways if someone needed an office or formal dining room. Heading upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a shared full bath. Downstairs, on the walkout basement level, is the eat-in kitchen, a second full bath, a den, and a foyer with access to the spacious stone patio perfect for dining and lounging outdoors. In the backyard, the 800 sqft sweet country guest cottage features a first-floor kitchen, dining, and living area, and on the second floor, there is a bedroom and full bath with an antique soaking tub. Outdoors off the gravel driveway is a one-car detached garage with a workshop and two smaller sheds. Gardens, a beautiful dogwood tree, and a perfectly manicured lawn create an idyllic setting where you can stay in and enjoy the serene setting of your property or easily wander nearby for a bite to eat and some local shopping in the heart of the Hudson Valley.
