Historic Old Orchard Farmhouse c.1847
Discover the charm of the Historic Old Orchard Farmhouse, a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offering approximately 2,595 square feet of flexible living space in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Surrounded by mature trees, flowering shrubs, and a picturesque pond, this distinctive property combines historic character with modern comfort.
Relax on the bluestone patio overlooking the pond and landscaped grounds, where redbuds, catalpas, forsythia, fragrant lilacs, and Asiatic lilies provide seasonal color and fragrance. The peaceful setting offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility.
The home's versatile layout is ideal for extended family, guests, or a potential in-law arrangement. A private wing features its own entrance, family room, laundry area, full bath, and second-floor bedroom suite with an additional full bath. The main living area includes a gracious double parlor with a wood/coal-burning stove, formal dining room with original pocket doors and propane stove, and a charming country kitchen.
Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including a potential primary suite with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and brick, generous closets, and remote-controlled skylights. Two additional full baths complete the second floor, including one with a Jacuzzi-style tub and skylight.
Recent improvements include freshly painted interior and exterior surfaces, new stainless-steel refrigerator, standby generator, new basement windows, new driveway, foam insulation, new oil tank, new hot water heater, new porch and gutters, and a commercial-grade Capital stainless steel range.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being just 1.5 miles from the Rosendale Trestle and Rail Trail. Within minutes are popular local restaurants including Garden Café, Soy, Creekside Bar & Bistro, The Big Cheese, and The Truss & Trestle. Grocery shopping, gas, public transportation, and everyday services are conveniently nearby.

Known as the Old Orchard Farmhouse for the apple orchard that once bordered the property, the home was originally built in 1847 and later enhanced with Victorian influences. It was once part of the historic Hardenbergh family holdings and operated successfully as The Hardenbergh House Bed & Breakfast from 1998 to 2009. With appropriate municipal approvals, future owners may wish to explore similar hospitality uses.
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Hudson Valley history while enjoying modern conveniences, natural beauty, and an exceptional location.
