98 Clinton Corners Rd Salt Point, NY 12578

Built in 1703, Rockwood is one of the oldest houses in Dutchess County. This fully modernized home, with a large sun-drenched kitchen wing addition, retains 100% of its colonial charm while epitomizing comfort and livability. Spacious rooms, fireplaces, cozy nooks, and glorious outdoor spaces make Rockwood perfect both for large scale entertaining and intimate family dinners. Three-hundred-year-old wide-plank floorboards glow with history and warmth. The entryway is spacious enough to double as a sitting room. The billiard room off the central hall features an original fireplace and cushioned window seat. A large fireplace is at the center of the wood beamed library, which once served as the original kitchen and is now a perfect spot for late night reading. The heart of the home is a sprawling and stunning kitchen/great room. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with professional grade Viking range, deep country sink, marble countertops, and walk-in pantry. Just beyond a spacious area for a large dining table is a sitting area with fieldstone fireplace. A long bar, with ice maker and wine cooler, completes this social hub. The entire room is lined with windows and French doors open to various outdoor spaces, a screened porch with blue stone floor, a pond, a 50' long heated lap pool, and access to the wooded Wappingers Creek frontage that makes this property so magical. A guest room, full bath, walk-in coat room, laundry room, and mud room complete with a doggie bath are also on the first level. Upstairs, four more bedrooms circle a central sitting area, the gracious, skylit master suite, two bedrooms with Jack and Jill bathroom, and another en suite guest room. Original tongue-in-groove doors and dormer windows add to the history that infuses these rooms. The property includes a barn with workshop, three-car garage, and loft overlooking a bend in the creek that could be converted to living space. Five acres of walking trails to wander through, right on Wappingers Creek, make this property a fairy-tale hideaway spot within easy access of Millbrook, and the train into New York.
