Once upon a time in the year 1820 in a sweet little village called Rhinebeck, a pretty Saltbox was built by a master craftsman. Over the years it evolved into a 3 Bedroom, 1.5 Bath home and well loved by the owners who meticulously restored, maintained and updated it over the years while retaining the delightful charm of the home's era. They took great care to maintain the integrity from the wonderful wide boards that flow throughout the welcoming Center Hall into the spacious light filled Living Room with original hand-hewn beams, period Federal Fireplace and built in nooks to display collections and books. The hard wood floors carry into a formal Dining Room with corner China cabinet. The Kitchen is updated with lovely finishes and loads of storage, a petite half bath also updated is on the main level. Off the enclosed Porch is a Bonus Room that is perfect for an Office or 4th Bedroom. Up the pretty staircase you will find 3 very nicely sized Bedrooms each with a closet. The new full Bath has tasteful finishes. The Basement is dry and usable for storage. The back Deck is a wonderful place to enjoy the birds that nest in the tall shade trees or the bees and hummingbirds that visit the abundant fragrant flower beds. The home is lusciously landscaped with an array of shrubs that bloom from Spring into Fall. The one car detached Garage is a perfect place for working on projects or storing tools and backyard toys. Take a quick stroll and you are downtown to enjoy the many shops, movies, cafes and fine dining. A quick trip takes you to the Taconic, Amtrack or an afternoon at the many vineyards, antiquing or Dutchess County Fairgrounds. Come make this historic jewel your own and live happily ever after. © 2024 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
