8 School House Ln, Rosendale, NY 12472

Step into a piece of history on Schoolhouse Lane! This 1875 original schoolhouse sits on a half-acre and offers a truly unique chance to bring a storied property back to life. While it once spanned around 6,000 square feet and housed several apartments (and an artists studio), a 2005 fire affected the wooden addition and part of the roof. However, the beautiful brickwork in a classic American bond pattern, the high ceilings, and the traditional king post roof truss construction up in the attic all remain as a testament to its heritage. The property features a drilled well and a septic leach field, and it's perched on a high bank in this sleepy hamlet along the Rondout Creek, offering a serene country setting. Plus, you're just four miles from Rosendale and five miles to Kingston, blending quiet rural charm with convenient access to town. In short, you're not just buying a building—you're giving a historic landmark a second chance at life!
