Lovely 1820 center hall colonial in the heart of historic Old Hurley. Majestic trees surround this stately home with a pretty meadow and spectacular Catskill Mountain views. The home has spacious rooms, hardwood and parquet floors, good ceiling height for a home of this era and beautiful light. The formal entrance is off the front rocking chair porch with lead into a lovely living room and 18 x 25 dining room, large enough to host the grandest dinner parties. There is a newer 2 car stone garage that enters into the rear of the home, which is perfect for entertaining. A sitting area with a stone fireplace shares this vaulted space with the eat in kitchen. Walls of glass doors open to a stone patio, a heated IG pool, hot tub and a built in propane grill. Off the kitchen/ sitting room is a tucked office space, laundry area and half bath. There is a brand new first floor in law suite with it's own entrance and driveway on the other side of the house. (with the original 2 car garage should anyone need more space for collectable cars.) Upstairs are 4 bedrooms including an ensuite 20 X 30 master that has a floating balcony overlooking the view. There are extra rooms for an office, dressing room etc. This is a rare offering; a spacious home, a gorgeous property with a private feel and the ever changing big sky, beautiful in all four seasons All of this only 5 minutes to I-87, which is approx 2 hours to NYC. Or one can take a 3 mile bicycle ride on the lovely Hurley O & W Rail Trail to bustling Uptown Kingston with its farmer's market, restaurants and art galleries.
