294 Fishcreek Road

Description

OPEN HOUSE! Sunday, May 17th from 11am - 1pm. A history-rich stone Dutch colonial beside a stream. Is this not the upstate real estate hunter's dream? Hundreds of years before folk rock echoed off the Catskill Mountains, when every meal was farm to table by necessity, this house was where the neighbors from Fishcreek Road gathered to dance and hold meetings. This venerable antique Dutch Colonial stone house, originally part of the Larson Farm on Fishcreek Road is still here for you to enjoy. The oldest part of the home has been identified by local historians to be from the 1700s, with thoughtful additions in the 1800s, 1930s and a final expansion in the 1980s. The former meeting hall floor plan offers generous common spaces and loads of historic character. The expansion in the 80s was done for the current owners when their household grew to a family of eight and provides a flexible layout for bedrooms, home offices, and guests. Many original architectural details remain including massive ceiling beams, wide wood panels, period fireplaces and classic millwork, all blended with updates that make the house livable and warm. The expansive 2888 square foot home is set on 2.6 acres and borders the Plattekill Creek...including a natural swimming hole as well as a peaceful water feature. Mature trees and gardens, a private setting and a location just 10 minutes to Saugerties or Woodstock and 15 minutes to Kingston make the location both magical and convenient. This rare 5 bedroom home combines authentic colonial craftsmanship with the scale and comfort you'd need to expand for guests, hobbies, or storage. The home has been occupied until last year and with a little updating it will really shine! The stream side setting provides a unique recreational and scenic asset, perfect for summer swimming, nature watching, and enchanting outdoor gatherings. Experience the history and serenity in person. A 3D Walkthrough Tour is available in the digital Lookbook or by request. With easy access to the Catskills and all of the Hudson Valley enjoy all the area has to offer. Swimming holes, bike paths, hiking trails on Overlook and Meads Mountains, HITS, the Garlic Festival, local breweries, Opus 40, great live music venues, art galleries, farm to table restaurants, yoga studios, skiing, the Historic Rondout waterfront, art classes, galleries and much much more!
