Set on Brookside Road in New Paltz, this property's 1.7 acres evoke country life, while the 100 year old home maintains enduring charm. Flowering perennial plantings gracefully accent the classic shape of this 1920's craftsman cottage. Cedar shake siding, a gently sloped roofline, and sturdy pillars supporting the wide front porch are hallmarks of this style. Mature maples and evergreens dot the property, a spreading multi-trunk birch tree graces the front yard, and roses, peonies and rhododendrons are at home in the gardens here. Inside, the quality and character of the original carpentry is seen in the hardwood floors, moulding and trim work, built-ins, wainscoting, and 6-over-1 divided light windows throughout the home. Stepping inside from the front porch, you'll find the living room with windows flanking the brick fireplace and beyond that the dining room with built-in cabinetry for tableware and serving dishes. The side hallway leads to a central bathroom, with wood wainscoting, marble-topped vanity with built-in marble slab shelving, diamond shaped marble tiles underfoot, vintage privacy glass, and tub with shower. Two bedrooms flank the bathroom, each with 3 large windows and closets. Exposed beams draw the eye in the tiled kitchen, which has wood countertops, a gas range, prep sink, 3 windows over the large porcelain sink with drainboard, skylight, and room for kitchen table seating near the bank of windows overlooking the back deck. Stairs from the kitchen lead up to a loft area and the cozy upstairs bedroom. The full, walk-out basement is accessed by stairs from the living room, and houses a workshop and laundry machines. From the front yard, stepping stones make a sweet path through the garden to the deck stairs. The back deck is a sunny spot for relaxing and looking out to the fully fenced side yard, perfect for lawn games, relaxing by the fire pit or playing fetch. Adjacent to the garage there is a shaded back lawn to explore. Updates within the last 5 years include a new roof, new deck, 20x20 garage with second story and electric, attractive wood fencing, and mini-split units providing A/C and heat throughout the home. In addition to a small gravel parking area, there is a shared, paved driveway. [Due to a bridge outage on Brookside, some GPS directions to the home are inaccurate. Please be sure to take Route 32 South to access this portion of Brookside Road.]
