Description
A Rare and Unique Retreat in the Delaware River Valley Tucked away on a tranquil knoll and surrounded by nature, this once-historic schoolhouse—converted into a private residence in 2003 by a Brooklyn architect—is a masterclass in character, comfort, and cutting-edge performance. With over $100K in recent upgrades, the home has been modernized for low- maintenance living and long-term value. All major systems have been professionally updated for minimal upkeep and long-term peace of mind —including a certified GAF roof (50-year warranty), whole-house standby Generac generator, upgraded drainage, and smart-home systems that let you monitor, secure, and control the home from anywhere. Enjoy year-round energy savings and comfort with the ultra-efficient heat pump water heater, Fujitsu mini-splits, and New York State-certified insulation and energy sealing. A best-in-class whole-house ventilation and air purification system ensures fresh, allergen-free air any time of year. Indoors, the soaring cathedral ceiling, timberframe beams, and sun-filled layout offer timeless warmth. The kitchen features a top-tier appliance suite that includes a European style induction range, and flows into a cozy yet generous family room anchored by a wood-burning stove—perfect for gatherings in every season. Outdoors, sip your coffee on the bluestone patio surrounded by protected Nature Conservancy land and mature pines and oaks. The property offers exceptional privacy, scenic views, and is just steps away from miles of wooded trails as well as the Neversink River. Yet, it remains just minutes from schools, shopping, and the train station, offering both seclusion and convenience just 90 minutes from New York City. Carefully maintained with a new driveway, new gutters, a freshly painted exterior, and a fire pit, this turnkey property is often described by visitors as “a sanctuary” and doubles as a savvy investment with endless potential—including as an Airbnb. Whether you’re seeking a full-time retreat, a tranquil weekend escape, or short-term rental investment—this one-of-a-kind property is move-in ready, energy smart, and built to last.Show Description
