Historic Riverfront Retreat – 2.5 Hours from the GWB
This charming home, once one of New York's earliest one-room schoolhouses, has been lovingly maintained and renovated by the same owners for over 50 years. Set on a private acre along the Delaware River, it offers breathtaking river and mountain views, blending historic charm with modern comforts, including central air.
Inviting Spaces
The light-filled enclosed front porch is perfect for morning coffee or unwinding after outdoor activities. Inside, the custom maple kitchen opens to a butcher block bar, ideal for casual meals or entertaining. A cozy wood stove warms the living area, creating a welcoming space. Just off the kitchen, a spacious deck offers room for dining, grilling, and enjoying sunsets over the river and mountains.
Private & Comfortable Living
The primary suite is separate from the other bedrooms, ensuring privacy and relaxation. Two additional bedrooms, one with an en-suite bath, provide ample space for family and guests. A large bonus room offers flexibility for a game room, media room, or extra living area.
Outdoor Adventure & Recreation
Direct river access offers fishing (some of the best trout fishing in the northeast), kayaking, swimming, and canoeing. An 18-hole public golf course is just across the street, and Belleayre and Plattekill ski resorts are only 40 minutes away. The property includes a detached 2-car garage and another garage for storage, perfect for skis, snowmobiles, and fishing gear, with plenty of guest parking.
Historic Charm with Modern Updates
The home blends historic character with modern updates, including perennial gardens and space for a vegetable or flower garden. While it feels like a private retreat, it’s just a short walk to town for shopping and dining. Only 2.5 hours from the George Washington Bridge, this home offers relaxation, adventure, and a true connection to nature.
