A GRAND HOME FOR ALL SEASONS- As impressive outside as it is inviting within, this stately Center Hall Colonial has a sense of substance from the moment you arrive. A broad stone walkway, pink-hued masonry along the foundation and chimney, and an expansive wraparound porch set the stage for an interior that blends the architectural charm of an earlier era with the comforts of modern living. Across three finished levels, grandly proportioned rooms, 9-foot first-floor ceilings and original hardwood floors create an atmosphere of warmth and substance. A magnificent open staircase seamlessly connects all three floors, its elegant railings and turned balusters reflecting craftsmanship that would be difficult to recreate today. The spacious living room is anchored by a striking fireplace crafted from distinctive pink-hued stone, echoed in the stonework along the exterior foundation. It's easy to picture gathering around the fire, welcoming friends and loved ones, and filling these gracious rooms with conversation and laughter. Across the center hall, the formal dining room leads to the beautifully updated kitchen-an inviting arrangement for quiet dinners, holiday gatherings and entertaining on a larger scale. A first-floor half bath and mudroom add everyday convenience. On the second floor, the primary bedroom includes a private bath, accompanied by two additional bedrooms and a full guest bath. The finished third floor offers a fourth bedroom and a separate lounge, providing flexible space for guests, a home office, creative pursuits or a quiet retreat. A full walk-out basement and detached garage provide generous space for storage, outdoor gear, recreational equipment, or the hobbyist. The expansive wraparound porch is a place to settle in and enjoy the seasons: the first signs of spring, leisurely summer evenings and the brilliant colors of autumn. When winter arrives, the stone fireplace becomes the heart of the home-a welcoming place to gather. The setting is every bit as special as the home itself. Just minutes from the vibrant Village of Ellenville and the extraordinary natural beauty of the Shawangunk Ridge, the area offers a lively and evolving arts and cultural scene, seasonal markets, pop-up art exhibits, live theater, comedy and performance, along with an abundance of outdoor recreation. Sam's Point Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, the O&W Rail Trail and the Shawangunk Scenic Byway place some of the Hudson Valley's most magnificent scenery and outdoor adventures within easy reach, while The Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark, Holiday Mountain Ski Area and Resorts World Catskills add year-round recreation and entertainment nearby. All of it unfolds against the dramatic backdrop of the Shawangunk Ridge-a remarkable place to call home in every season.
