248 Hardenburgh Road, Esopus, NY 12566

Home sweet home! Located on a quiet country road in the heart of Ulster County this picture-perfect home sits on 7.5 lovely, wooded acres with access to the peaceful Swartekill Creek. The interior is both bright and cozy, with big windows, hardwood floors, and two wood-burning stoves, perfect for curling up on cold winter days. A 2012 renovation and addition extended the living space and makes this a great place to entertain. On the main floor, the spacious open kitchen flows into the living and dining room and is equipped with Sub Zero fridge, Miele Cooktop (2018), BoschOven (2021) and Bosch dishwasher, which will delight serious and amateur cooks alike. A lovely bedroom, den, and light-filled office provide ample space for rest, relaxation, and reflection. Upstairs, you'll find two cozy guest bedrooms and an expansive primary bedroom with sitting area and large windows overlooking the private, wooded backyard. A large bathroom graciously combines charming original details with more recent upgrades. In addition to thoughtful and ample storage space throughout the home, a partially finished basement with laundry and windowed studio space provides extra room for bikes, outdoor equipment and other storage overflow needs. Adjacent to the house, a funky wood-burning sauna provides a unique addition to this exceptional property that makes it truly one-of-a-kind. There is storage for gardening tools in the sauna basement. A masonry outbuilding offers the potential to create an additional guest space, or could be used for a detached garage, workshop, studio or added storage. This home has done double duty as a successful short-term rental for 15 years while serving as a quiet retreat for its owners and has been lovingly maintained with care. A 2012 addition and renovation included enclosing a porch and extending the second story with new electric and plumbing, and updating both bathrooms. In addition, a Geothermal Heat Pump was installed in 2020. Conveniently and ideally located between Kingston and New Paltz. This home is just a hop, skip and a jump from hiking, biking, restaurants and shopping. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, investment property or weekend getaway, this home is a gem that should not be missed.
