Introducing a very rustic and historic, renovated three-story barn that was built in 1831 just outside the Village of New Paltz. This property is located minutes from the New York State Thruway, less than 90 minutes from Metro NY and right across the street from the SUNY New Paltz Campus.
Opportunity awaits, bring this 9,000 square foot renovated barn to life with your family’s inspiration. The unique structure, exposed hand hewn beams and woodwork offers beautiful character with the ability to cater to a large 1 family home, including a partially started Mother-in-law apartment... At 3,000 square feet a floor, there is plenty of room to expand on the livable space as needed. All exterior walls are framed with 2x6 in between original 8x8 oak and chestnut post and beam construction and ready for your choice of wiring schematics. There are currently 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms that are completely finished. The master bedroom is located on the ground level off the kitchen. *New renovation* includes a brand new, accessible master bathroom with a walk in shower and shower bench to boot. There is also a beautiful mural of a woodsy scene in this master bath that gives the room a certain relaxing feel. Expansive, custom countertops in the kitchen give this home a very warm feel, while giving the cook of the house plenty of space to spread out. Within the lower-level living area, the south-facing windows give gorgeous natural light to the space and a great place for house plants to thrive.
There is a wood-burning stove in the living room, which is the main source of heat for the living space on the ground level. The building has original hot water baseboard heat with an oil fired boiler on basement level, relying on wood and a little electric heat to heat the area. There is a two-room woodshop set up equipped with plenty of 110V and 220V outlets, which can be turned into a sizable work space of any kind. Main electric service is a 200 amp service with two 100 amp sub panels off of that. The laundry room is located off the workshop on the ground level. Moving upstairs, there are 3 more bedrooms, the second bathroom has a very unique skylight above the shower that gives the most stunning natural light at all times of day, and a large recreation room. This rec room comes with sprawling south-facing windows, a pool table, and a bar! 3,000 square feet of this house is in the basement, where the original stone work is visible. There is car access in the basement through an overhead door and much more storage space throughout the rest of this level. Most of the top 2 floors are framed, and there is an attic for storage. The entire building has had a fresh coat of stain on all the cedar window and door trim.
Not only is the inside of this rustic home absolutely beautiful, as you step outside, the surrounding front and back yards are an oasis as well. The yards are spacious with lots of room for activities, as well as a fenced-in garden bed in the backyard along the original stonewall from when the Huguenots settled in our small town in 1678. There is a quaint little private pond in the backyard that is visited with wild ducks occasionally and has a hidden island next to it. A perfect place to hang a hammock between some beautiful pine trees and read a book in absolute shady serenity. We often get visited by deer, turkey, fox and a wide variety of song birds on the property. A large, circular driveway with a lot of parking space is what you will drive up to get to this magical getaway in New Paltz. If you are worried about loud and nosey neighbors that live in the rental properties on either side, don’t be, they are quiet and mindful.
SOLD AS IS- comes with two car ports and fine working septic and well.
