106 Schwabie Turnpike

Description

There is something about Grandma's house that stays with you. Maybe it's the rotary phone that somehow still feels familiar, the hand mixer mounted to the wall, the old outhouse tucked somewhere beyond the garden, or the photograph of Grandma herself sitting on the front porch. At 106 Schwabie Turnpike, these little relics of another era remain, quietly woven into a home that has been lovingly carried into the present. Originally built in 1935 and set on 2.5 acres in Kerhonkson, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath cottage has the comfortable, unhurried feeling of a house that has been part of family life for generations. The first floor offers a bedroom and full bath, along with a living room, separate den, foyer with storage, and a combined office and laundry room. An enclosed porch fills with sunshine while the basement provides additional storage and workspace. The house has been thoughtfully modernized for today, with central HVAC, a dishwasher, laundry, and a freshly painted exterior, while still retaining the quirks and character that make an old house feel like itself. Outside, the property unfolds like a little family homestead, with apple trees, a brick grill, fire pit, pond, and a garden planted with flowers that bloom throughout the seasons. There is even the potential to restore the original circular driveway. It's the kind of place that invites long afternoons, muddy shoes, porch conversations and someone always putting the kettle on. A little bit of history, a little bit of nostalgia, and plenty of room to make it your own.
