Attention: History Buffs!! Built in 1777 as a one-room schoolhouse, this adorable stone cottage was expanded into a two-story single-family residence in the early 20th century, and has recently been thoughtfully restored, with modern updates to the kitchen and bathrooms. Period details include hand-hewn beamed ceilings and 16" deep windowsills. The new kitchen boasts custom cabinetry including a full height pantry, a professional range with hood, farmhouse sink, dishwasher, and retro refrigerator. Don't miss the gorgeous main floor bathroom with tiled walk-in shower! Also note Renewal by Anderson windows throughout, and 6yo asphalt shingle roof. Upstairs, the bright and airy main bedroom with half-bath is complemented by a cozy second bedroom and additional flex space. The spacious, sunny yard has ample room for a swimming pool, gardens, or further expansion, and features a lofted antique barn with endless possibilities. See attached docs for historical provenance info. Ulster Park is a small hamlet in the town of Esopus, just a five-minute drive from the restaurants, shops, and waterfront attractions of Kingston's historic Rondout District. This property is walkable to the many conveniences on Route 9W - including the Port Ewen Diner and Van Loan's Beverage Center - and is an easy bike ride to vast swaths of scenic beauty, including the Black Creek Preserve and the Hudson River, as well as orchards, farms and wineries. This is an ideal spot for fans of the Catskill region: 2 miles to Kingston, 15 miles to New Paltz, and 90 miles from the George Washington Bridge.
