*** OPEN HOUSE 3-5pm SATURDAY 4/11 *** Waterfront access in the Hudson Valley is limited. Finding it this close to the Village of New Paltz, at this price point, is even rarer. Inside, the home feels comfortable and grounded, with its living spaces oriented toward the river. A more intimate main living room on the first floor offers a cozy place to unwind, with windows that keep the water quietly in view. The layout is practical and flexible, with three bedrooms and two full baths, including a first-floor bedroom and bath. Just off that bath is a dedicated laundry room, a thoughtful upgrade that avoids the typical basement setup often found in homes of this era. Upstairs is where things open up. A larger second living room with a full stone fireplace and elevated river views creates a completely different experience of the home. It works naturally as a separate gathering space, but also presents a clear opportunity to reimagine it as a primary bedroom suite with an ensuite bath. For those looking to bring all bedrooms upstairs, this transition would be both straightforward and impactful. Step outside and the setting takes over. The property opens directly to the Wallkill River, with space to relax, launch a kayak, or simply sit by the water's edge. There's an ease to being here, where the sound of the river becomes part of the rhythm of the day and time tends to move a little differently. The location ties it all together. The Village, with its restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences, is just minutes away, while nearby trails and preserves complete the outdoor lifestyle. The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail is nearby and connects seamlessly to the River to Ridge Trail, leading from the Village into the Mohonk Preserve. It's entirely possible to head out for a ride or walk from close to home, pass through town, and continue on into protected land and miles of trails without needing a car. Whether used as a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, the balance of access and setting here is hard to replicate. Opportunities like this, where water, views, location, and potential all converge, usually don't last. If you're looking for a certain type of stillness that often only comes with being on the water, this one might be for you.
