501 Pine Bush Road Stone Ridge, NY 12484

Prime location c.1771 Stone (Dutch Colonial) farmhouse in the historic hamlet of Kripplebush. Perfect for those who love history and this timeless style of stone house with thick walls and loads of history. The current layout on the main floor is very traditional, with two original fireplaces at opposite ends of the floor, at the two gable ends (somewhat north and south) highlighting a parlor on each side of a very large central entry hall with a front and rear door also opposite each other. The parlor to the N has a kitchen area and could be very nicely reconfigured to a marvelous eat-in dining room/kitchen. The S side parlor would make a very gracious living room. The floors are antique, old growth pine - very wide parts. There are stunning exposed ceiling beams supporting the upper level of the house. Up a historically accurate, enclosed staircase, you find what would be a wonderful space for 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, if the walls are re-configured to modern standards and perhaps some shed dormers are added for more windows. The space is currently somewhat primitive and comprises two bedrooms, a half bathroom and storage areas. The original floor boards are fully exposed and magnificent in their patina and their width. The rear door accesses a roomy screened porch overlooking the views to the S, and the ''Gunks'' and the Mohonk Tower seasonally without additional tree thinning. There is a hatch access attic above the upper level. Below the main level is a full basement with full access to the rear yard. Though not really suited for living space, it provides easy access below the main floor for upgrading of the infrastructure of the house. The location makes for easy access to the assets and venues of High Falls and Rosendale - the likes of INNESS, Mohonk, Minnewaska Park, Ashokan Rail Trail, Rosendale Trestle, and nearby Kingston.
