Here’s just some of the newest offerings that have hit the market this September!

In the hot-market hamlet of Stone Ridge (in the town of Marbletown) is where you’ll find 22 Royal Oak Road; a 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom contemporary ranch home that has been meticulously cared for by current owners and displays their pride of ownership in full force. An inviting, circular blacktopped driveway leads you through the well manicured front yard and straight up to the front door of the home where you’ll find easy, one level living. There is plenty of space in this 1,804 square foot home, including an attached two car garage and also an unfinished, walk-out basement. The interior of the home is bright and sundrenched; a blank canvas for new owners to put their personal style into this home. The white country kitchen has new quality stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry and even a brick indoor grill! The brick facade of the oven wraps around into the adjoining informal living room (a more formal living room is located near the dining room) where a large brick fireplace becomes the focal point of the room. From there, you can exit out onto the back deck, where mature trees and shrubs create a natural barrier, keeping the backyard private.

Hamlets in the town of Marbletown, including Stone Ridge, are highly sought after because the seem to pop up in the middle of seemingly untouched natural beauty- among rolling hills with views of the Mohonk and Catskill Mountain ranges. Here you’ll find all the rustic charm you’d expect to find in upstate New York, but without sacrificing long commute times to get to shops, restaurants, businesses and even New York City. Stone Ridge is also now home to the newly renovated Hasbrouck House and new Butterfield Restaurant, which offer luxury accommodations for any guests or family wanting to visit and explore everything that the Rondout Valley has to offer. If you prefer to get your groceries from local farms then you are in luck; the home is only 5-10 minutes from Stone Ridge and Westwind Orchards, Kelders’, Saunderskill and Davenports Farm stands.There is an abundance of history in the small communities of Marbletown and there’s plenty to do if you’re an outdoorsman or nature lover.
