Village living awaits!!! Tucked into the heart of historic Rhinebeck, this enchanting 18th century home is a masterpiece of charm and tranquility. Just one block from the lively village center, it offers seamless access to farmers’ markets, boutiques, fine dining, Dutchess County Fairgrounds and community events—all while being enveloped in the peace of its lush, picturesque gardens. The home’s gingerbread trim, rocking chair front porch, and beautifully preserved architectural details welcome you inside, where sunlight dances across wide-board floors, high ceilings, and alcove windows. The gracious first floor features a foyer, dining room, living room, family room and half bath. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen opens to a serene back porch. Here, mornings begin with coffee in the golden sunlight, and afternoons fade into conversations in the shade. A few steps down, a stone patio and a spacious backyard filled with perennial flowers, shrubs and fruit trees, invite you to host lively gatherings or escape into quiet reflection. The second level, accessible via front and back staircases, features a primary suite, 2 bedrooms, a den/office/3rd bedroom, and another full bath. The home is recorded as 3 bedrooms, but lives like 4. Beneath the carpets lie 8-inch wide plank floors, waiting to be revealed. The walk up attic offers untapped potential for additional living or storage space. Meticulously cared for, the home includes a newer roof with a lifetime guarantee (2016), updated HVAC (2019), and a recently installed septic system (2021). With ample parking, room for a pool, and space for gardening and games, this rare property is both a retreat and a gateway to the Hudson Valley. Only 5 minutes from Amtrak in Rhinecliff and 25 minutes to Metro North in Poughkeepsie, it’s an easy escape for weekend getaways or fulltime village living. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history!
