About 149 Whitfield Road
Sitting back off a quiet country road is this 18th-century stone jewel on over 11 enchanting acres with a diverse landscape, an expansive pond, and the gushing North Peters Kill meandering through the property. The Hornbeck House, built in the mid-1700s and listed on the National Register for Historic Places, has been painstakingly restored, preserving its historical details and adding in modern elements like a new standing seam metal roof, a thoughtfully designed kitchen, and central AC. The main house spans 1,800 square feet with three bedrooms and two baths. A stone-tiled mudroom and entry leads into the cozy living room with the home's arguably most prized feature - an immense hearth stone fireplace original to the house. The dining room, kitchen, and a full bath complete the first floor. The second floor offers bucolic views through its eight-over-eight windows and features three bedrooms, a full bath, and an office and reading area. The grounds surrounding the house are both exquisite and understated. A fenced area and raised boxes were built for a veggie garden, and walking paths weave around the pond and down to the river. The pond is ideal for a boat ride or dip in the summer and ice skating in winter. The creek has many swimming holes as it flows through the entire middle of the property. A beautiful stone structure built on the ruins of the property's original barn serves as a garage and workshop, but could easily be converted to a studio, office, or guest house for additional living space. The Hornbeck House is in an idyllic, quiet area, just a short drive to the vibrant towns of High Falls, Stone Ridge, and Accord, with local favorites such as The Hasbrouck House, Westwind Orchard, Black Dot Cafe, Ollie's Pizza, and Cherries Ice Cream. Inness is just a few minutes away, offering access to their two saltwater pools, golf, and tennis courts. The surrounding area is a dream for any outdoorsperson, with Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Mountain nearby for hiking and rock climbing. Kingston, Rhinebeck, and Woodstock are less than 30 minutes away, and you are two hours from New York City.
