347 Nelson Rd, Monroe, NY 10950

Charming Historic Home with Guest Suite in the Heart of the Hudson Valley Located just outside the sought-after village of Greenwood Lake, New York, this beautifully updated historic farmhouse is nestled on nearly 3 acres of wooded privacy—only 50 miles from New York City. Greenwood Lake is a vibrant four-season destination offering swimming, boating, hiking, and access to the Appalachian Trail, as well as charming shops, restaurants, and a lively arts scene. Originally built in 1860, the “Nelson House” was one of the first farmhouses on Nelson Road. Thoughtfully expanded in the late 1990s, the home now includes a spacious three-car garage with a 900-square-foot guest or in-law suite. This apartment features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, one bedroom, a full bath, and large sliding doors leading to a private deck (renovated in 2023) and private garden. The main house welcomes you with a wide entry hall and a preserved original brick hearth, now fitted with a pellet stove. The main floor includes a bedroom with an en-suite bath, a dining area, and a spacious, skylit kitchen with sliding doors that open to a bluestone patio and private grounds. The newer wing offers a large living room with wood-burning fireplace insert, a mudroom, and a large screened-in back porch. An adjoining office with sliding doors opens to the back deck and steps down to the garden. Upstairs in the original structure, you'll find two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and additional closet spaces. The master suite features a vaulted ceiling, en-suite bath, and a generous laundry/bonus room that can serve as an office, craft space, or nursery. The property offers about one acre of fenced land and includes an above-ground pool (built into grade), a koi pond, playhouse/garden shed, mature trees, perennial gardens, raised beds, and a spacious lawn beside the garage. The rest of the land remains beautifully wooded, ideal for privacy or future trails. Enjoy the best of the Hudson Valley lifestyle—close to Greenwood Lake, Warwick’s wineries and orchards, Mount Peter Ski Area, and Sterling Forest State Park—while still within commuting distance of NYC. Filled with character, this home has been the heart of our family for over 20 years. It is now time for a new chapter, and we hope it brings as much joy to the next owners as it has to us.
