71 Old Route 299, New Paltz, NY 12561

Built in 1830 this one of a kind eyebrow colonial has withstood the test of time. Believed to be built by Tobias Elting the 1800's American Colonial still rests on its original stone foundation! In 1993 this homestead underwent its most modern expansion, a lovingly crafted two story addition adding large windows, more living space, two new bedrooms, and second stairway. This beautifully kept home showcases the rich blend of old and new. Look closely to find a special note written on the wall, hand hewn beams, and little touches of a life long ago. The layout lends itself to numerous scenarios, with the potential for a primary suite on the main level, or easily remove the walls around old stairway for open space*! A combined 3 plots make up the 5.36 acres with the home sitting on 3.5, incorporating the two story barn, shed, second driveway, back and side yard, another .49 touches the property and 1.4 (wetlands) is across the street, ensuring the wooded view will always remain in tact. Centrally located within short distance of Main Street New Paltz, and easily accessible Rail Trail it's a treat to leave on foot or bike to head into town or on an adventure. One minute from NYS Thruway and 20 minutes from Poughkeepsie train station, and only 90 miles North of NYC! *** BEST AND FINAL DUE SUNDAY 5/30 6:00PM***
