Property Description

Originally built in 1873 as the historic East Fishkill Schoolhouse, this one-of-a-kind residence blends Hudson Valley character with thoughtfully integrated modern updates. Soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed hand-hewn beams, and wide original yellow pine floors create a warm and dramatic living space filled with timeless charm, with the original screw marks from the school desks still visible in the flooring—a rare and authentic reminder of the building’s past. Updated interiors, Andersen windows, updated siding, and new outdoor lighting complement the home’s historic appeal while enhancing everyday comfort. The open-concept layout features a custom kitchen with reclaimed wood cabinetry and a reverse osmosis water filtration system, while the main bathroom continues the home’s artisanal aesthetic. The spacious bedroom offers cedar-lined closets and direct access to the rear patio, while the loft provides flexible space for additional sleeping accommodations, a home office, or a cozy reading nook. Two ductless heating and cooling units provide efficient year-round comfort. Outside, brick patios, a pergola, awning, and multiple sitting areas overlook beautifully landscaped 0.75-acre grounds filled with mature specimen trees and perennial gardens, creating a peaceful setting ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A new roof, fascia, soffits, gutters, and reinforced basement support beams further enhance the home, while the basement and storage shed provide excellent additional storage space and a washer/dryer. Enjoy the privacy and charm of a country retreat while remaining close to shopping, dining, and area attractions. Rich in history and thoughtfully updated throughout, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of the Hudson Valley.
