Nestled within six beautiful acres of lawns, rock outcroppings, and towering and flowering trees, this quintessential storybook home is perfectly situated a mere 1.4 miles from the center of Red Hook Village. Built in the 1800s (with a recent architecturally respectful addition), the full-length front porch welcomes you into timeless charm. Hand-hewn posts and beams, lovely nooks and French doors enhance the poetic mood. Sunlight filters through the generous windows shedding light upon the exquisite wide board floors. A delightful 3-direction sunlit living room, with a central wood burning hearth, unfolds into the magical property. The beamed dining room is drenched in light and the eat-in country kitchen with rustic cabinetry opens onto a stone patio beneath a leafy canopy to be enjoyed any time of day or evening. Upstairs, we are graced by a lovely landing and bookcase full of interesting reads. The dreamy master bedroom with its 4-poster bed, long writing desk and balcony are inspirational. A second bedroom is gabled and intimate, and the spacious full bathroom has a pedestal sink and inviting clawfoot tub beneath a halfmoon window. Above the garage, we have an aerie in the tree branches providing a very sweet 3rd bedroom and bath. Secluded off a lovely country walking road, this is truly rustic enchantment culled from a fairy tale. Experience total privacy, minutes from Rhinebeck, Tivoli, Bard, and Red Hook villages. Your very comfortable Summer retreat and sanctuary is surrounded by all the Hudson Valley has to offer, yet ages and miles away.
