Nestled in the heart of the village of Red Hook, this historic grand Victorian offers the best of both worlds. Only steps away from beloved shops and restaurants, yet over an acre of privacy in the backyard, including multiple out buildings, studio space, in-ground pool and plenty of space to relax. The covered wraparound porch invites you into a classic front foyer and parlor space, which can be used for either business or pleasure thanks to the home’s R-20 zoning. This zoning also would allow a Bed & Breakfast usage. There are four separate areas on the first floor that can service as a living room, with plenty of cozy nooks to curl up with a book by the wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen opens into a sunlit dining area and living room, offering openness and warmth. Legally a 9-bedroom, it’s currently functioning as a 5-bedroom, 3 1/2 baths, with possible room to grow if you finish the walk-up attic. The home is spacious and bright, with gorgeous original details throughout. Wonderful surprises in the private backyard include a large garden shed, detached 2 car garage with an attached workshop, a large studio space with lofted, beamed ceiling and propane heat (previously an art studio), and two smaller storage rooms conveniently at the far end. Built to last in 1890 and lovingly enhanced for 45 years by one family with care. Recent updates include a new pool liner, oil tank and furnace. Red Hook Schools. Come experience this Victorian dream!
