This is the kind of home that many are looking for, but few have been fortunate enough to find. It is on a beautiful country road in Gardiner, the most sought-after area in the Hudson Valley. The property is surrounded by an extensive land trust, two organic farms, and an apple orchard, so it is very private yet close to all amenities. The extensive network of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail is just a short walk away, and the Shawangunk mountains form a serene and solid backdrop. The home was originally a single-story and was purchased by an antique restoration specialist in 1992. Since then it has been methodically transformed by the current owners from that once simple house into a marvelous modern home which still retains its historic feel. The original structure was gutted to the studs and completely rebuilt with 2x6 walls, new windows, siding, chimney, insulation, wiring, plumbing, furnace, air, septic, etc. It is in essence a new structure. After the land was cleared beautiful perennial flower and vegetable gardens were created. A garage and second story were added, then a new kitchen, great room, porch, and deck. A new high capacity well was recently drilled as well. Only premium materials such as Anderson 400 series windows, Mastic Carvedwood siding, Azek decking, high density insulation, Jeld-Wen solid core doors, Mirage oak flooring, Candlelight kitchen cabinets, and Cambria countertops were used since the beginning of construction; the goal being to make the house as low-maintenance and as energy efficient as possible. It is toasty warm in winter and wonderfully cool in summer. This charming house is a delight to live in. If you are interested in viewing this home, the only recommendation is to act quickly.
