This charming Esopus farmhouse has been updated, modernized, and needs nothing to move in! The current owners upgraded the house's mechanical systems, taking care to preserve its details — including the original staircase, railings, balusters, and wide-plank wood floors. The first floor features a large living room and dining area, which opens to a deck facing the backyard. The kitchen also faces the backyard, with an adjacent area that could be used as a sitting room, listening area, library, or office! A new 200 amp electrical service and panel was recently installed by a licensed and highly-regarded electrician. The house was outfitted with modern and efficient Mitsubishi heat pumps / air conditioning in November of 2022. The current owners also fenced in the large backyard, with many native perennial plantings flowering right now! Permits were issued and approved for all the work that was done. “Main Street” sounds like a busy road — but it’s not! In the early 1900s, route 9W became the principal north/south route of Esopus, and now Main is a charming side road, with Paulina’s Pizza & Restaurant and a deli / grocery store up the block. End Cut and the Hudson House & Distillery are close by. The property is also in walking distance to the Hudson River, Black Creek Preserve, and Shaupeneak Ridge Park. Esopus has become “hot” now, but the town has always been desirable because of its prime location and access to nature. The house is perfectly situated a short drive from New Paltz, Kingston, and the Poughkeepsie Metro-North Station.
