From the road, you would never expect what awaits beyond the front door. This tastefully restored circa 1850s saltbox has been carefully preserved with modern updates in a setting that's increasingly difficult to find. Established perennial gardens, bluestone patios, and multiple outdoor living spaces create a private retreat, while the sloping landscape leads to the scenic Poestenkill Creek. Bordering protected Open Space Institute land and just minutes from everyday conveniences, this property offers a unique combination of privacy and convenience.
Inside, the updated kitchen is full of character and serves as the heart of the home. Updated baths and flexible living spaces, historic charm tastefully done preserving its unique personality.

The 30' x 40' detached workshop offers approximately 1,200 sq. ft. on the main level, a full 1,200 sq. ft. basement, and a finished walk-up attic. Features include an office, reinforced flooring suitable for vehicles, abundant storage, separate electric service, and endless possibilities for artists, woodworkers, collectors, hobbyists, a home gym, or additional workspace. Plus a detached two-car garage provides even more room for vehicles, equipment, or storage.
Properties like this are hard to find. From the gardens and protected surroundings to the versatile outbuildings and creekside setting, this is a home that simply must be experienced in person.
