18 James Street, Rhinecliff, NY 12574

American vernacular meets crisp Scandinavian design in this jewel of a home. Nestled in a charming corner of the historic Rhinecliff hamlet, this bright and welcoming two bedroom house was recently redesigned and expanded and is basically brand new: new electric, mechanical (heating and air conditioning), plumbing, septic, windows, wood floors, a custom Vipp kitchen, new roof and many more upgrades. The home retains its historic character in the older portion of the home, which was renovated to match original details. The newer addition feels contemporary while complimenting the historic soul of the house. The front porch of the original 1860's era house overlooks the level front yard with mature plantings while the new kitchen wing looks out onto the back yard, which features a secluded patio area and a large, geological rock feature that makes it feel like you're in your own private park. Large open fireplace in the kitchen makes any cooking or dining occasion feel special. Perfect as a getaway from the city or forever home in the Valley. Surrounded by small and lush gardens, this property is very easy to maintain. Completely new insulation, efficient mechanical system and propane services will keep the running costs low. It is an easy walk to the Hudson River and Amtrak and just a 5 minute drive to the Village of Rhinebeck.,EQUIPMENT:Carbon Monoxide Detector,Smoke Detectors,ROOF:Asphalt Shingles,Metal,AboveGrade:1200,Other School:PRIMROSE HILL,Level 1 Desc:NEW KITCHEN ADDITION, LIVING ROOM, OFFICE NOOK, BATH,ExteriorFeatures:Landscaped,Outside Lighting,Basement:Sump Pump,Level 2 Desc:2 BEDROOMS, FULL BATH
