Welcome to Laurel Dell House—a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with 2,350 square feet of timeless charm, tucked away on 4.12 landscaped acres of fairy tale–like grounds. Originally built in the 1830s as a carriage house and converted to a residence in the 1920s, this one-of-a-kind property offers a perfect balance of historic character and modern comfort. Inside, you’ll find a cozy sunroom, vaulted ceilings, wide plank floors, exposed beams, a wood-burning stove, and a fireplace—all bathed in natural light from oversized windows and skylights. The kitchen blends rustic charm with everyday functionality, featuring warm wood cabinetry, open shelving, and ample space on tile countertops, all with a view out to the gardens. Multiple living areas offer flexibility for gathering, working, and relaxing, while each bedroom feels like a peaceful retreat. Recent updates bring ease to daily life, including a new furnace, generator, and electrical panel (2018), a new deck (2022) and perfectly manicured gardens, where the magic of Laurel Dell lies.
Lovingly cultivated and professionally planned, the perennial gardens have been designed so something is always in bloom—from the first golden daffodils of spring to the vibrant dahlias of late autumn. Every plant was selected for color, texture, and timing, creating a visual symphony that evolves through the seasons. In the evenings, landscape lighting adds a soft, enchanting glow across garden beds, pathways, and patios. A tranquil stream winds through the property, crafted to flow into and out of a koi pond with a fountain, enhancing the serene, storybook setting. Brick patios, mature plantings, and layered borders invite you to linger outdoors, while the entire property is fully fenced for privacy. The land stretches back to wooded hills that border acres of preserved land owned by the Putnam County Land Trust—ensuring lasting peace and seclusion.
A detached two-car garage with a workshop and upper-level loft offers added flexibility for creative use, storage, or studio space. Whether you’re an avid gardener, nature lover, or simply seeking a restorative escape while being just an hour and a half from NYC, Laurel Dell House is a place to plant roots, dream big, and watch the seasons unfold.
