This rare & unique historic seasonal residence with Dutch American flair will inspire the experienced Historic Home Restorationist to bring the dream of a storybook stone cottage to life. The main house situated on 1.8 acres is believed to be dated back to the late 1800s, but lack of available records creates a mystery. The exterior is faced in authentic stone on the original house, and carries over to a more recent, somewhat quirky addition which was believed to have been constructed after the 1940s as evidenced by concrete block interior walls. Was this later addition a rebuilding of an earlier footprint that existed? The interior of this mysterious yet alluring residence reveals old wood floors and a large living area with stone fireplace, creating a vibe of the old French Protestant Calvinist Huguenot homesteads. The original home contains interior wall framing on the main floor surrounded by tall windows looking out to the far reaching mountainscape. An old door which once led to a Juliet balcony sits at the center. A staircase leads to a second story offering 2 bedrooms. On the later side of the house, an attic with pull-down stairs lies overhead of the main living and kitchen area, introducing the option of blowing open grand cathedrals. Adjoining the old and the new and bringing together a seamless interior flow can be commenced with the fine skill of a good architect. Tax records reveal this was once a 4 BR, 1464 SF house prior to what is believed to have been a fire about 40 years ago. A raw palette exists for spectacular design with brick terraces, rose gardens, trellises, landscaping & custom interior design. Septic & Well are 10 years old. Power shut off. Old heating system not operational. Located 5 min to Rail Trail, walking distance to Wilklow Orchards & Highland High School, 14 min to Mid Hudson Bridge and minutes to shopping.
