294 Fishcreek Road, Saugerties, NY 12477

This venerable antique Dutch Colonial stone house, originally part of the Larson Farm on Fishcreek Road, was once used as the local community meeting and dance hall. Step back in time and imagine all the history here where warm neighborhood gatherings were a daily occurrence. The oldest part of the home has been identified by local historians to be from the 1700s, with thoughtful additions in the 1800s, 1930s and a final expansion in the 1980s. The former meeting hall floor plan offers generous common spaces and loads of historic character. The expansion in the 80s was done for the current owners when their household grew to a family of eight and provides a flexible layout for bedrooms, home offices, and guests. Many original architectural details remain including massive ceiling beams, wide wood panels, period fireplaces and classic millwork, all blended with updates that make the house livable and warm. The expansive 2888 square foot home is set on 2.6 acres and borders the Plattekill Creek...including a natural swimming hole as well as a peaceful water feature. Mature trees and gardens, a private setting and a location just 10 minutes to Saugerties or Woodstock and 15 minutes to Kingston make the location both magical and convenient.This rare 5 bedroom home combines authentic colonial craftsmanship with the scale and comfort youd need to expand for guests, hobbies, or storage. The home has been occupied until last year and with a little updating it will really shine!
