c. 1775. Step into a world where historic charm meets timeless elegance. Known as The Old Toll House, this meticulously restored stone residence is a rare fusion of 18th-century charm and modern comfort. At the heart of the home lies a grand and inviting kitchen, where a massive stone hearth- framed with imported Belgian tiles- serves as the room's dramatic focal point. Hand-hewn beams lend warmth and architectural authenticity, while an adjacent grotto with copper-topped counters and generous storage provides space for culinary creativity and organization.
The formal dining room features an original fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and distinctive fabric-clad walls, creating a dramatic and memorable setting for entertaining. The living room showcases intricate wood details, while Brazilian wide-board pine flooring flows throughout. A mahogany-accented bathroom completes the main level with a refined touch of artistry and sophistication. Upstairs, three versatile bedrooms offer flexible living options, including a dedicated library—ideal as a home office, reading retreat, or creative sanctuary. A second full bath, with custom tilework, adds convenience while honoring the home's character. Set on 1.4 acres, the grounds are framed by expansive gardens, mature trees, and rock walls. Ideally located just five minutes from New Paltz, and ten minutes from Kingston's vibrant Rondout District, offering easy access to local markets, fine dining and outdoor recreation. This is a home for those who appreciate craftsmanship, history and enduring beauty—an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Hudson Valley heritage, perfectly preserved for modern-day living.
