Nestled within the historic hamlet of Stone Ridge, this circa 1750 Colonial Farmhouse embodies a legacy of over 140 years cherished by the same family. Crafted to stand for generations to come, this residence has an aura of timeless charm, with original details meticulously preserved throughout. Once upon a time this was thriving Van Winkle Orchards. The property's rich history is steeped in stories of famed Catskills character Rip Van Winkle, adding to its allure. Inside you will discover graciously proportioned rooms with high ceilings. The original wide plank floors are a testament to the home's 18th century craftsmanship. There is ample space for comfortable living, with five bedrooms and two versatile offices or bonus rooms that provide flexibility to suit a variety of needs, one on each level. The formal dining room with fireplace sets the stage for unforgettable gatherings. There is an exceptional walk-through butler's pantry that leads to the spacious sunlit country kitchen. Off the rear of the kitchen there is a convenient mudroom and half bath. Adjoining the kitchen you will enter a cozy living room, complete with the original cooking fireplace and Dutch oven. Beyond this you will find the oversized library which spans the entire south end of the house, with built-in bookcases made from church pews that were salvaged from a local church in the early 1900s. On the second level are the bedrooms and two full baths, offering comfort and privacy for all. Throughout the home you will notice the solid wood doors and beautiful hardware. This property has truly fantastic outdoor spaces. One of the most beloved areas is the recessed porch, a tranquil retreat overlooking the property. There is also a lovely bluestone terrace off the kitchen, offering views of the mature gardens and lily pond. Choosing where to hang your hammock will be a delightful challenge. In the rear of the property there is a functional tri-level barn that offers many possibilities. While the fruit trees are now gone, the lush meadows paint a storybook view and with the agricultural district, you could easily bring your farming dreams to life. The local area offers an abundance of farm stands, antique shops, restaurants and breweries and a close proximity to first-class hiking and biking trails. Under two hours to the George Washington Bridge.
