18 James Street Rhinecliff, NY 12572

Tucked away in the historical district of Rhinecliff, this reimagined residence blends timeless American architecture with the crisp lines and functionality of Scandinavian design.
The original 1860s structure has been carefully restored, preserving its historic soul with meticulous attention to detail. In contrast, a sleek, contemporary addition complements the old-world charm. A custom Vipp kitchen with Miele appliances anchors the kitchen/dining room, which also features vaulted ceilings, kiln-dried pine flooring, a wood-burning open fireplace, and large window overlooking the patio and backyard. Both the laundry area and pantry storage are conveniently hidden behind custom closets. Beyond that lies the cozy living room, complete with beamed ceilings, a wood-burning stove, custom built-in desk with storage, and stylish powder room with marble sink and cedar walls. Upstairs, two inviting bedrooms share a full bathroom featuring a penny-tiled walk-in shower and tasteful wainscoting.
Step outside to a newly rebuilt front porch that overlooks a spacious, beautifully landscaped yard framed by mature Linden trees and lush plantings. The private, fenced-in backyard is a true retreat, featuring a newly installed tempered bluestone patio and walkway, a freshly reseeded lawn, striking natural rock formations, and convenient additional storage near the rear entrance. Ideally located within walking distance of the Hudson River and Amtrak, and just minutes from the vibrant Village of Rhinebeck, this turnkey home offers a perfect blend of chic design, peaceful surroundings, and low-maintenance living. Full list of recent upgrades available upon request.
