21 Library Ln Unit 23 Woodstock, NY 12498

RARE WOODSTOCK “WALK-TO-TOWN” HISTORIC STONE HOUSE WITH SEPARATE ARTIST STUDIO- This fabulous stone house gem, built in 1925 by well-known New York artist Paul Wesley Arndt (1881-1978), is a rare Woodstock/ Byrdcliffe home and studio/multi family compound, handcrafted in wood and stone. Most recently under the stewardship of beloved Woodstock painter and ceramicist Rosalind Robertson, this stunning property is now on the market for the first time in many years. Truly walk-to-town, just around the bend from the Woodstock Library, the house and studio are surrounded by beautiful meadows and mature trees, on a sizable 1 2/3 acre lot. Situated on a super quiet street, there are very few spots so convenient to Woodstock Center which are also so tranquil. The house has classic details, arched windows and Dutch door, solid wooden exposed beams and gorgeous original floors, wedded with lovely modern bathrooms and kitchen, all recently renovated. The stone fireplace in the spacious living room has been fitted with a new gas burning insert, for clean efficient fires throughout the colder months. There are three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, and one bedroom and bath downstairs, offering one story living if so desired. Each room brings in ambient light from multiple angles, consequently the stone house feels utterly solid, and light and airy at the same time. There are only a very few homes of this design and vintage in our area. The studio has a classic painting studio/great room, with north facing windows and a fireplace waiting to be updated. It has a kitchen and bath and its own propane hydronic heating system. The two garage bays were made into heated studio spaces, and could easily be renovated to accommodate more living space in the apartment. Both houses are on municipal water. There is a standby generator which services both structures, so one never loses power. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Woodstock history, one which affords the solidity of prewar craftsmanship and modern amenities on a uniquely private property, just paces away from the center of Woodstock. This home must be seen, houses like these are seldom available!
