Wallkill Unifamilial Détaché

A stunning historic stone house (c. 1710–1820) sits at the foot of the Shawangunk Ridge. The National Register of Historic Places sites its value with a plaque.
The Dutch architectural style home is filled with exceptional natural light, original period details, deep set windows set within thick stone walls, generous ceiling heights, wide-plank floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, and Rumford fireplaces. The home is surrounded by multiple outside living spaces: rock gardens, stone walls, a variety of fruit trees, walking paths, flower and vegetable gardens and three separate wells. The 4 bedroom, 3 full bath home includes two historic barns.

The large Dutch barn (c. 1750) has 5 horse stalls and has been used for weddings and receptions and is adjacent to the Pilates/gym and art studio. The detached two-story corn crib and dairy barn (c. 1850) add to the charm of the property.

A warm and inviting entrance sets the perfect tone for this exceptional home.
