Available for the first time in 50 years, this iconic Victorian in the heart of the Village of New Paltz blends unbeatable walk-ability with architectural charm and a rich menu of potential future uses. The picturesque property, set atop a tree-canopied bluff overlooking Village Hall and mere steps from Main Street and the SUNY New Paltz campus, features a 3, 669-square-foot, 3-story main house with an incredible catalog of original details still intact, including ornate fretwork on the front and back porches, well-preserved clapboard and louvered shutters, rounded doorways, bay windows, built-in bookcases and an unique spider-web-patterned maple floor with mahogany inlay in the formal dining room. The tall ceilings and oversized windows throughout the house give it a sunny, light-filled sense of openness, especially in the unusually large kitchen and living room. A finished third floor, with full bathroom, offers additional space for guests or storage. Directly behind the house sits a large renovated barn building, now adapted for use as a professional office space, with a 3-car garage plus an additional 2, 431-square-feet of finished rooms on 2 floors, including 5 offices, a kitchenette, 2 half bathrooms, a conference room, and a paneled executive suite with its own library loft crowned by a windowed cupola. The entire .54-acre property, which includes ample off-street parking, is classified as one parcel but with split zoning: R2 (two-family) for the house, and B2 (“core business”) for the barn building, offering a variety of potential options for future use, both residential and commercial. Even better, that flexibility is coupled with proximity – 90 minutes by car to Manhattan and about as many seconds by foot to both the SUNY campus and bustling Main Street – making this a unique live-work or investment opportunity in the Hudson Valley’s most popular college town.
