31 Chestnut Street, Rhinebeck
MLS® # 20262855
A Victorian on one of Rhinebeck's most walkable blocks, minutes on foot from the Village center. Deep green shingle-and-clapboard exterior, cream gingerbread trim, and a wraparound porch with scrollwork brackets set the house back from the street behind mature landscaping. The property is over 1/3 of an acre on a corner lot with an extraordinary side entrance and a wall of privacy fencing which hides the crown jewel of the property, a fully enclosed pool and entertainment space between the house and a rebuilt luxury garage/barn. Inside, the original main house retains many historic Victorian details: ceiling & trim detail, a built-in library wall, a wood burning fireplace and a carved dark-wood staircase with its original newel post. A chinoiserie-papered breakfast nook off the kitchen doubles as a game table. An early 2000's addition to the home created a great room for dining and living on the main floor, and a generous primary suite above. Upstairs, original bedrooms carry the same period restraint -- white walls, wood floors, and 3 bedrooms with 2 full baths, one on the hall and one ensuite. The second floor addition created a generous laundry room and an large primary suite with a black-glazed fireplace, a jetted soaking tub under five windows, a marble-tiled shower and an oversized walk through closet. Outside, a stone patio anchored by a full brick fireplace and pergola looks over an in-ground pool, bordered by mature plantings on all sides for privacy. A separate barn was rebuilt in 2016 offering an additional 960 finished square feet. Currently set up as a game room -- ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, corrugated-metal ceiling, it has its own heat and air, and a half bath upstairs and one downstairs with direct access from the pool. The garage can accommodate four cars and has solar panels to offset energy expenses. Less than 2 hours from NYC and 3 miles to the Amtrak Station at Rhinecliff.
