About the Listing ELLS02 - 28842
We are proud to introduce this cornerstone property, located within what was once a thriving enclave of artists. The same owner since 1946, this home and studio are part of a small collection of historic properties that helped define the character of the area. Now, an extraordinary opportunity awaits for the next steward to write the next chapter of this remarkable property. Originally built circa 1800, the home sits quietly within the landscape, its history unfolding through generations of thoughtful additions. Among them was a former general store, where horse-drawn carriages once stopped for dry goods and daily provisions, while the village blacksmith worked just across the way. From the road, passersby may never suspect what lies beyond. Behind its unassuming facade is a private and enchanting oasis, complete with expansive studio space that inspires creativity and retreat. The home itself is rich with period details that have been lovingly preserved through time. Wide-plank floors, beautifully patinated doors, burnished staircase railings, classic fireplaces, and a hidden back staircase all contribute to its authentic historic charm. An elevator was added for convenience to the 2nd floor. The studio still features the original general store counter and shelving, offering a rare connection to the property's past. The generous space lends itself to a wide range of creative pursuits, with a private retreat area tucked behind. Stone walls frame an intimate cottage garden, while the existing potting shed offers potential for expansion into a garage or workshop. This is more than a home—it's a piece of local history waiting to be reimagined. This weekend destination is set amid the rolling hills of Orange County, this property offers easy access to the Hudson Valley's most sought-after destinations, including Storm King Art Center, the artisan community of Sugar Loaf Arts and Crafts Village, wineries, orchards, hiking trails, and the outdoor recreation that has made the region a favored escape for New York City residents seeking space, creativity, and a connection to nature.
