Set back on 5 private acres of mixed open and wooded land, this circa-1920 farmhouse offers a rare combination of historic character and thoughtful, recent updates. The 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home features a spacious living room anchored by a beautiful cobblestone fireplace, a light-filled four-season room, and an open kitchen/dining area with direct access to the back deck ideal for indoor-outdoor living. Original wood floors run throughout, and the layout offers an easy, comfortable flow.The home has seen a number of meaningful recent updates, including a newly insulated basement stairwell with fresh sheetrock, paint, and ceiling, a new roof above the kitchen and walk-out basement storage area, and a full exterior repaint of the house and outbuilding. The kitchen features a new refrigerator and the basement new washer/dryer offering peace of mind on several of the home's key appliances.Outside, mature trees, stone walls, and established garden areas create a picturesque, park-like setting, while the balance of open and wooded acreage offers both privacy and usable outdoor space. A detached two-car garage includes three additional attached rooms, ideal for a studio, office, or creative workspace one of which was recently renovated with new insulation, drywall, paint, and flooring, offering endless possibilities for how you might make the space your own.Tucked into the quiet countryside, this home still puts everyday conveniences and Hudson Valley charm within easy reach. Just minutes away, you'll find Kiki's Elizaville Diner, a beautifully restored vintage diner car right in the hamlet, along with Vosburgh Orchards, a fifth-generation farm known for heirloom apples, cider, and an on-site brewery in a restored barn. A short drive brings you to Lake Taghkanic State Park for swimming, hiking, and boating, and Doves Diner in nearby Ancram, a lovingly revived midcentury roadside classic. The shops of Red Hook are just 1215 minutes away, while the artsy riverside village of Tivoli, the boutique charm of Rhinebeck, and the vibrant restaurant and arts scene of Hudson are all within about 20 minutes making this property a peaceful, private retreat that's still wonderfully well-connected to the best of the Hudson Valley.
