228 Hauptstraße, Germantown, Ny 12526

In the heart of the Germantown hamlet, one of the Hudson Valley’s most beloved villages, 228 Main Street is a historic Victorian farmhouse where walkable village living, open skies, and sweeping countryside exist in rare harmony. Historic character, generous outdoor space, and mixed-use flexibility create a property unlike any other.
One approaches this 1900s Victorian farmhouse and is greeted by an expansive front porch, perfect for a quiet read or morning coffee. Step through the original double doors to discover cathedral ceilings, classic built-ins, original decorative parquetry flooring, and an elegant staircase that reflect the home’s historic craftsmanship.
The first floor comprises two living rooms anchored by a working fireplace and woodstove, a formal dining room, a classic farmhouse kitchen with mudroom, and a first-floor bedroom suite. Ascend to the second floor, where a picturesque reading nook awaits. A spacious primary suite with a soaking tub, two additional bedrooms, a dedicated office, and an updated full bath with walk-in shower provide flexibility for guests or working from home.
Outside, the expansive backyard offers space to garden, entertain beneath the open sky, or create the pool you’ve always imagined. The property’s mixed-use zoning provides exceptional flexibility, making it equally suited as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or creative business or professional practice.
Step outside your front door for morning coffee, fine dining, boutique shopping, art openings, yoga, the summer farmers market, or a winter sauna by the pond—all just a short stroll away. Then return home to the privacy, open skies, and country landscape rarely found in a walkable hamlet.
Just two hours from New York City and minutes from Hudson, Tivoli, Red Hook, and Rhinebeck, 228 Main Street offers a rare opportunity to experience the best of Hudson Valley living.
