800 Old Post Road, New Paltz
MLS® # 20265158
A well-edited renovation of a village-adjacent Cape with a fresh take on a classic design. The current owners completely updated the house while keeping the character and warmth that make it feel like a home. Hardwood floors run throughout, with a first-floor primary suite, ensuite bath and separate laundry. The kitchen centers around a generous island with quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, gas range with built-in hood and plenty of cabinet space. The living room features an electric fireplace, while a separate sitting room offers a flexible space for work, reading, play or simply a quieter place to settle in. A half bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a bright full bath, with a consistent design sensibility carried throughout.
Outside, the rear yard feels pleasantly private for such a convenient location. A deck just off the back of the house leads to a firepit a few steps beyond, creating a natural spot for gathering in the evening. The detached two-car garage provides room for vehicles, gear and projects, while the full unfinished basement houses the mechanicals and offers additional space with both interior and exterior access. Other improvements include a newer roof, exterior paint and updates to most of the mechanical systems.
The location makes this an easy place to experience New Paltz, with the Hudson Valley and beyond close at hand. Take note - the Empire State Trail is just next door, connecting west through New Paltz to the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and River-to-Ridge Trail, with access onward to Mohonk Preserve, and east to the Walkway Over the Hudson. Whether used as a full-time home or weekend retreat, this is a comfortable, thoughtfully updated home that lets you spend less time worrying about the house and more time enjoying the lifestyle it makes possible.
