18 Mountainview Avenue, Rosendale, NY 12472

Tucked just off the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail in Rosendale, this whimsical 1938 Cape Cod invites you into a world where character and woodland light shape the rhythm of every day. Mature gardens and stretching paths lead to a home that lives on multiple levels—each with its own mood, its own moment. The main floor unfolds softly: a first-floor bedroom and full bath, and a living room washed in natural light, opening to a balcony that over looks the backyard and forest edge. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms—intimate, restful spaces that feel lifted out of a storybook. Downstairs, the home shifts into a more grounded energy. A warm, functional kitchen, dining room with family room, full bath, laundry, and a mudroom that offers a flexible nook for reading or maybe an office. Direct walk-out access to the patio and woods offer an easy connection to the land. A standby generator ensures the house keeps humming, even when the world outside pauses. Beyond the main structure, a detached two-car garage with loft space above adds creative possibility, while a potting shed and raised beds call to anyone ready to dig in, breathe, and grow. New systems—oil tank, full septic system, boiler flue chimney liner, water treatment, washer + dryer—provide peace of mind. With the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail just around the corner, you're truly steps from the Rail Trail Cafe, the Rosendale Trestle and Mohonk Preserve’s Giant’s Ledge Pocket Park trailhead. And a quick drive in any direction will bring you to New Paltz, High Falls, Stone Ridge, and Kingston. An assumable 3% FHA mortgage adds a rare final touch. A home with heart, character, and an unmistakable sense of place—ready to welcome its next chapter.
