562 Route 213, Rosendale, NY 12472

Don't judge a book by its cover! This is a home that needs some fixing up and the potential is definitely here. Immediately you'll find the setting to be serene with a wooded backdrop, gardens and plantings all to be enjoyed whether outside or in! As you enter the home through the side door, you'll find an all season room with a wall of windows looking out to the rear yard and its natural landscape. Ideal for a number of uses....reading room, small studio/den/study, sun room, it's yours to choose. The kitchen has been well designed and constructed with quality maple KraftMaid cabinets, counter tops, bamboo flooring and good storage. The open living room area is spacious with a small dining area near the kitchen and provides an entry to the studio/sunroom. On the second floor you'll find an oversized foyer with lovely views of the natural landscape and the perfect spot for a small den or office. Off the foyer is the bedroom, both light and bright with hardwood flooring. The full bath with laundry can be found on the second level and includes Bosch Axxis appliances. There was a plumbing leak behind the shower wall extending to the staircase and ceiling on the first floor that will need repair and mold remediation. The basement is approx. 4' high, nice and dry, with good space for storage. Along with being solidly built and well insulated, there are newer vinyl clad windows as well. The roof is unsafe and in very poor shape. It will need to be completely replaced including rafters, sheathing and shingles. It is not safe for anyone to go on or to walk on. There is also a small bluestone patio, storage shed and a covered deck to the side of the rear yard. An easy walk to Main St. where you'll find a number of eateries, the Big Cheese, Rosendale Theater, shops, Farmer's Market, rail trail and so much more. Just minutes to the bus station on Rte. 32, with New Paltz and I-87 a short drive for easy commute!
