Overview

In the small town of Tillson, just between New Paltz and Kingston, is a charming homestead dating back to 1900. Modernized over the years to include new architectural styles and new living spaces, it is now a four-family property with great flexibility and income potential. The farmhouse, with its wide and welcoming front porch, mature trees, and picket fencing, is set back from the road. Inside you’ll find beautiful woodwork, tall ceilings, fireplaces, and bay windows that invite reading, daydreaming, and conversation. The first floor has an eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room for entertaining, and a large living room where wide-board floors hold the history of more than a century of residents. There’s also a large family room, a laundry, and an additional room off the kitchen that might be an office. Touch the acorn newel post and ascend to the second-floor bedrooms and baths where original detail gives every room warmth. A private entrance at the rear provides access to a one-bedroom apartment with a recently updated kitchen and bath. A courtyard with a garden, parking, and plenty of outdoor entertaining space separates the farmhouse from the one-car garage (with a workspace) and from the beautiful carriage house. Built with stone and Rosendale brick the carriage house offers 2 living units and an additional workspace: the first floor is a 1 bedroom apartment with a new kitchen and bath; the second floor is a one-bedroom apartment with unique cathedral ceilings; and the workshop area has electric and has been rented in the past. This property offers the opportunity to live a country lifestyle in a well-kept historic home with the bonus of tremendous income potential. Why not? It’s beautiful in every way!
