99 W Market St Red Hook, NY 12571

Red Hook Village, Circa 1930 Vintage Cape Cod. First time offered in 30 years! Current owners purchased this very special property from the original owner's heir and have lovingly maintained and preserved the integrity of the home ever since. The original front door, a preview of the enchantment that beckons, with period carpentry, hardware and arched frame molding, welcomes visitors into a traditional generous entry way with the must have coat closet. Enter into the Living Room which boasts a wonderful original brick fireplace, the focal point of the space, fully working and functional. The vintage hardwood floors catch attention immediately with a lovely unique parquet design, so beautifully restored carrying through to the large open Dining Room. Sunny French doors open to a sweet screened-in side porch, perfect for unwinding with a good book and a glass of lemonade. The adorable country style Kitchen offers functional well thought out storage and workspace for the avid cook and baker, with a sweet breakfast area for morning coffee and bird watching from the charming bow windows. There are three bedrooms off of the living area, each with its own closet; one of which was a former beauty parlor back in the historical days of the original owner, with an optional exterior side door. Period steam radiators not only provide ambiance but also keep the home nice and toasty on chilly days. Original wood doors throughout the house, with whimsical glass doorknobs and hardware, all have been beautifully restored. Back stairs to full walk up second story unfinished space with authentic hardwood floors, offers exciting expansion possibilities! Full basement with front load washer & dryer, freezer and utility sink, plus a ton of storage space and finishing possibilities as well. The house is flooded with natural light throughout! Step outside to the most lovely, lush backyard with plenty of room to garden, run and play, well buffered with mature hedges. An artisan's dream with a variety of outbuildings including a garden shed, woodworker's/artist studio/detached garage, as well as an additional hobbyist's workshop. Walk to the Red Hook Village, schools and parks. A short drive to Bard College, Rhinebeck, Rhinecliff Train Station, Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge and a wealth of Hudson Valley attractions. Sellers relocating and ready to hand over keys to the third owner in 96 years! Viewing by appointment only.
