2 Caroline Way, New Paltz, NY 12561

This modern eco-friendly home is a rare find in the charming village of New Paltz, NY- a vibrant college town located an hour southeast of the Catskill Mountains and a mere two hours from New York City. Conveniently located within walking distance of the village’s unique shops, restaurants & bus station, and only seven miles from the spectacular Shawangunk Ridge, this home was featured in New York House magazine in 2009 after it took second place in it’s “Best in Green” building competition. The home was sited to maximize solar gain, allowing sun in the winter and shade in the summer. In addition, the metal gable roof, James Hardie fiber- cement siding, Superior Walls foundation, bamboo flooring, Luxaire sealed combustion furnaces, heat recovery ventilator, interior motion detectors, Takagi “flash” water heater and 1,100 gallon rainwater collection unit contribute to the energy efficiency of the home. Most significantly, the main and upper level living areas of the home are designed around a state-of-the-art Scan woodstove and dramatic two-story recycled brick hearth that forms a “thermal mass” through the core of the home. New in 2014: Beautifully finished basement with additional bedroom, gorgeous stone patio with 6-8" fence to provide completely private backyard oasis, paved driveway, lawn and landscaping. If you are looking for a weekend home or full time living, don’t let this one get away!
