If you are someone who truly loves the magic of a historic home, you have to see “The Old Toll House.” Built way back in 1775, this stone cottage is a living piece of Hudson Valley history. It has been restored so carefully that it feels like you’ve stepped back into the 18th century, but with all the comforts you need today. The first thing that will catch your eye is the incredible stonework. Inside, the home is filled with hand-hewn wooden beams that make every room feel warm and solid. It’s the kind of house that has a real soul, with Brazilian pine floors that glow under your feet.
The kitchen is absolutely the star of the house. It is built around a massive, original stone hearth that makes you want to spend all your time cooking and chatting. There is even a cool “grotto” area nearby for extra storage. It’s rare to find a kitchen that feels this cozy and authentic. Just off the kitchen is the formal dining room, which features an original working wood fireplace and beautiful built-in cabinets. The walls are covered in fabric, making it a soft and inviting place for long dinners with friends. Every corner of the main floor has been finished with an artist’s touch, including a bathroom accented with rich mahogany wood.
Upstairs, you’ll find three flexible bedrooms. One is currently used as a library, which is the perfect spot for a quiet home office or a reading nook. The second bathroom features custom tilework that looks great while still respecting the old style of the home. Outside, the 1.4 acres of land are just as special as the house. You are surrounded by mature trees, stone walls, and lovely gardens. Even though it feels like a private hideaway, you are only minutes away from the shops and restaurants in New Paltz and Kingston. This is a rare chance to be the next owner of a true historic treasure.
