58 Marlorville Rd, Wappingers Falls, NY 12590

This light-filled 1870s home is surrounded by an expansive lawn and feels like a proper country farmhouse, but is a 3-minute drive along the beautiful Wappinger Creek to the Metro-North Station at New Hamburg, 10 minutes to Adams Fairacre Farms or the Poughkeepsie Galleria, and 15 minutes to the center of Beacon. The home has maintained many of its historic details, including the impressive exterior, high ceilings, cast-iron radiators, and hardwood floors. It's also been updated to modern living standards with an eat-in kitchen, and updates from the recent owner include a new Jotul wood-burning insert, new leach field, new water pressure tank, and a new water filtration system. There are two full baths, one downstairs that could be used to create a first-floor bedroom suite with the current den. The level 1.3 acre lot has frontage on two roads and may be able to be subdivided (must be confirmed with town), but certainly affords privacy and a sense of being in nature. One fantastic new addition to the neighborhood is the organic Obercreek Farm across the street, which supports a CSA and a tasting room for their Obercreek Brewing Company. (Note: the home is officially counted as a 3-bedroom by the town, although is set up currently as a 2-bedroom.)
