Public Remarks: A High Falls Gem with Spectacular Views and 250 Years of History. Set on just under 2 acres and surrounded by the rolling meadows and woods of the Rondout Esopus Conservancy, this iconic partial stone house offers the kind of unobstructed vistas only found on much larger properties. Occupied since 1789, with a Greek Revival addition in 1850, this historic home has been restored to meet contemporary comforts. The first-floor houses two parlors, one of which is 20 x 20 and filled with light, thanks to the six original 3' x 6' windows on all sides. Updated inner glass interior storm windows keep things cozy in the winter and reflect UV rays and heat in brighter, warmer weather. The original mantle houses an electric fireplace insert with brick surround. The 14 x 22 entertainer's dining room features beamed ceilings and connects to the 15 x20 ''stone'' room with deep windowsills and a cobblestone, working, wood-burning fireplace. The 20 x 12 eat-in, country kitchen has custom soapstone counters, an extra deep sink, stainless steel appliances and custom hardwood cabinets and opens onto a private bluestone patio adjacent to fenced-in, raised-bed garden and established perennial gardens, one of four bluestone patios surrounded by mature plantings. Period details include Dutch doors, an ornamental antique stove, and hardwood floors throughout, including some king boards. Recently installed mini splits ensure comfortable, quiet, year-round living. A full bath with sunken Jacuzzi with custom glass surround completes the first floor. Two sets of stairs go to the second floor which features three bright bedrooms, a large landing that doubles as sitting area, or office, built ins, full bath with custom step in stall shower with glass surround and abundant bathroom storage. A partial basement, with interior access, houses laundry, large built-in workbench with cabinets, storage shelves and mechanicals as well as a ground level entry, perfect for access to gardening and other outdoor activities. An invisible fence encompasses most of the property, ensuring dog safety. While the home is a single-family residence, it could be configured for one-level living or as two duplexes with their own baths and separate stairwells for extended family or friend share. This charming property also includes a 20 x 30, three story, 18th century barn. Enclosed and upgraded with water and electricity plus Marvin windows and French doors with storm inserts and screens as well as metal roof and cupola with a whimsical copper flying pig weather vane, the only requirement to develop it as an accessory dwelling would be a set of stamped building plans, with no zoning or planning board hearings. Two septic systems on the property ensure that a tie-in could be made easily with the addition of a leach field to make a stunning second building overlooking a bucolic meadow. ''Hoveling House'' is perfectly situated to enjoy all that this part of the Hudson Valley has to offer. The Marbletown Rail Trail is a five-minute walk from the home. The Springtown trailhead of the Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, the Ashokan Reservoir and the Catskills are nearby. And a launch for canoeing and kayaking on Rondout Creek is just a mile away. Inness Resort, Hasbrouck House/Inn at Stone Ridge are minutes away as well as Arrowood Brewery and Westwind Orchard, as are shopping and services in the High Falls and Stone Ridge. The property is a 15-minute drive on beautiful country roads to Historic Kingston and 20 minutes to the Kingston Waterfront, and the villages of New Paltz and Ellenville. Come see this unique and enchanting home, and add to 250 years of history to your own story.
