858 Freer Ave Tillson, NY 12486

Tillson Farmhouse is a light-filled and updated antique farmhouse, with radiant heat floors and designer finishes, lending it a modern lofty feel. Originally built in 1939, this home was gut renovated just a few years ago, and has been meticulously finished and styled by its current stewards. Set on a landscaped half acre lot in the charming hamlet of Tillson, in the Town of Rosendale, this modern farmhouse beckons buyers looking for a ''best of both worlds'' living situation. The warm white facade of the home is tucked behind a Hugelkultur berme at the front of the lot, loaded with native evergreens and shrubs that offer both a pollinator haven and privacy. Enjoy relaxing or playing a game of bocce on the grassy lawn, dinner parties al fresco on the bluestone patio, or evenings around the fire pit under the stars. Inside, the home exudes warmth and charm from a mix of original character - like the staircase with original woodwork - and scandinavian inspired finishes. The first floor features an open flow, seamlessly blending living, dining, and kitchen spaces - and centered around a wood stove hearth. The dining area features a bay window, with romantic built-in window seat, overlooking the verdant yard. This level also includes a bedroom, currently configured as an office and TV room, as well as a powder room. Up the stairs, with beautiful original patina, are two more bedrooms - including a large primary with multiple windows, and plenty of room for a king-size bed. On this level is also a spa-like full bathroom, with double rainfall shower heads and a claw-foot soaker tub, finished with ceramic tile floors and walls, and poured concrete counter and shower seat. The upper level also features access to storage space in the walk-up attic. This home will satisfy both old house lovers, and minimalist design enthusiasts, alike. With original wood floors, beams, banisters, siding - and bright spaces with modern windows, mechanicals, and finishes - what's not to like? Just a 3 min drive from Rosendale's bucolic Main Street, with shops and dining, a 9 min drive from bustling New Paltz, and a 15 min drive from hip Kingston, this home is ideally situated among Ulster County's most desirable destinations. Tillson Farmhouse comes on market 6/21, with an Open House 6/23, 11am-2pm. Dont miss out on this perfect upstate home, in a ''town & country'' setting!
