Breathtaking Hudson River views from this very stylish historic Van Aken farmhouse in Esopus with over 400 feet of frontage on the river. This unique property is in a great location bordering over 400 acres of protected lands including Scenic Hudson's High Bank Preserve and a forestry management preserve. Originally an early settlers home with stone foundation, Dutch door and antique fireplace, James Van Aken added on to the house in the 1870's . Now impeccably restored yet retaining all the charm and original details including wide board hemlock flooring, period trim and doors, original hardware, and cooking fireplace. The house features incredible views from every room and has a massive wrap around covered porch for taking in the river. First floor has a new open kitchen/dining room overlooking the river, spacious LR with big window views, cozy den with fireplace, laundry/pantry, powder room and really nice mudroom/studio space with wood stove. Classic bannister in the center hall leads to second floor with a spacious Master suite with WIC and full private bath. 3 guest bedrooms with nice proportions and light plus curved hallway and full bath. Walk up attic. Major improvements include restored foundation, central air, new heating system, insulation, electrical, plumbing, new kitchen, new baths, new appliances plus complete painting with historical and appropriate colors, refinished and gorgeous wood floors and so much more. This is an historically sensitive and aesthetically correct restored beauty! As you pass through the fieldstone entry the land is beautiful with mature trees, a small vegetable gardening area, a really nice old barn, outhouse/shed, and you can take the staircase down to the river's edge and put in your kayak or sailboat or just relax and enjoy the incredibly peaceful Hudson River. Just a few minutes from Scenic Hudson protected trails and waterfront on a quiet country road.
