MOTIVATED SELLER has reduced the price significantly! Looking for a historic home restoration project? Excited by the challenge of bringing history back to life? This charming 1874 Victorian farmhouse is your perfect match! This rare find is waiting for a new owner who has the vision to see it r...evived to its original splendor. Surrounded in privacy as it sits on a generous 2.5-acre plot between Kingston and New Paltz, this elegant gem boasts many untouched period details both inside and out. All it needs is the vision of a restoration and history lover. With wide board hardwood floors, generous living and dining rooms, accentuated by magnificent, oversized pocket doors, you can feel the echoes of 150 years of parties, celebration and history. A wood stove in the living room supplements forced air oil heat. Unusually high ceilings provide a sense of airiness and elegance, while special touches such as the meticulously carved banister stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of days gone by. Hardwood moldings frame each room, reminding one of a bygone era. The three bedrooms on the second floor include the large primary bedroom connected to a ''nursery'' (sporting its own closet) which can serve as a dressing room and walk-in closet. Two more spacious bedrooms provide enough space for family or guests. One bedroom is a former maid's quarters with a private back staircase to the kitchen that gets flooded with sunlight from the recent addition of skylights. On the property, a weathered barn awaits transformation into a studio, workspace or salvaging the wood, adding to the property's potential. Only 90 minutes from midtown Manhattan, this area is known for its hiking, biking, rock climbing, kayaking, its farms, wineries and orchards, as well as the famous Mohonk Mountain House, Lake Minnewaska and Mohonk Preserve. The town of Rosendale has been featured in the New York Times for its quirky, unpretentious character and for the historic Rosendale Theatre, located a short drive from this property. The house is just at the border of the city of Kingston which is a vibrant culture spot. Home of the Ulster Performing Arts Center which hosts some of the world's top acts and a beautiful thriving waterfront area, proximity to Kingston ensures there's always something new to discover just a short drive away. Do you have a passion for home restoration? With its prime location and rich historical character, this Victorian farmhouse presents a hands-on opportunity to breathe new life into a piece of the past, creating a haven that seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern convenience.
