Property Description
Nestled among mature trees, flowering shrubs, and a picturesque pond, the Historic Old Orchard Farmhouse c.1847 offers approximately 2,595 square feet of beautifully maintained living space that blends timeless character with modern comfort. This distinctive 4-bedroom, 3-bath home provides exceptional flexibility for today's lifestyle while enjoying a peaceful setting in the heart of the Hudson Valley.
Step outside to a bluestone patio overlooking the pond and beautifully landscaped grounds, where redbuds, catalpas, forsythia, fragrant lilacs, and Asiatic lilies create vibrant color and fragrance throughout the seasons. The setting offers a rare combination of privacy, beauty, and convenience.
Designed with versatility in mind, the home is ideal for extended family, guests, or a potential in-law arrangement. A private wing features its own entrance, family room, laundry area, full bath, and a second-floor bedroom suite with an additional full bath, creating a comfortable and private living space.
The main home showcases the warmth and craftsmanship of a bygone era with a gracious double parlor featuring a wood/coal-burning stove, a formal dining room with original pocket doors and a propane stove, and a charming country kitchen anchored by a commercial-grade Capital stainless steel range.
Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including a spacious potential primary suite with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and brick, generous closets, and remote-controlled skylights. Two additional full baths complete the upper level, including one featuring a Jacuzzi-style tub and skylight.
Thoughtfully updated, the home offers freshly painted interior and exterior surfaces, a new stainless-steel refrigerator, standby generator, new basement windows, new driveway, foam insulation, new oil tank, new hot water heater, new porch, and new gutters, providing peace of mind while preserving the home's historic character.
Outdoor recreation and everyday conveniences are just minutes away. The Rosendale Trestle and Rail Trail are only 1.5 miles from the property, while popular local favorites including Garden Café, Soy, Creekside Bar & Bistro, The Big Cheese, and The Truss & Trestle are nearby. Grocery shopping, gas, public transportation, and daily services are all within easy reach.
Kingston's vibrant Rondout waterfront is just 10 minutes away, offering boutique shopping, waterfront dining, galleries, festivals, parks, and live entertainment. New Paltz, Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, and many of the Hudson Valley's most treasured destinations are all close by, making this an exceptional location for both full-time living and weekend retreats.
Known as the Old Orchard Farmhouse for the apple orchard that once bordered the property, the home was originally built in 1847 and later enhanced with Victorian influences. It was once part of the historic Hardenbergh family holdings and operated successfully as The Hardenbergh House Bed & Breakfast from 1998 through 2009. With appropriate municipal approvals, future owners may wish to explore similar hospitality opportunities.
Rich in history yet thoughtfully updated for modern living, the Historic Old Orchard Farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive Hudson Valley property where historic charm, natural beauty, flexible living space, and an outstanding location come together.
