You wanted charm? You got it! This vintage 1903 village home in Pine Plains, NY formerly served as both the town pharmacy and library, and many of the bookshelves and all the quaint apothecary drawers remain intact. The large 3000sq foot home on a nicely landscaped yard of nearly a half an acre is filled with period details: wooden moldings, original door knobs and intricate iron hardware, a beautifully carved mantelpiece, and several built-ins. And, protected by carpeting for decades, there are beautiful wood floors throughout. Entered from either of two shady covered porches, the first floor has a living room (the former pharmacy), library, dining room, laundry room, powder room and an eat-in kitchen with a spacious mudroom attached. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, a study, and a full bath with a spacious walk-in closet. There's a walk-up attic that can be used for storage or finished off as additional living space. In the basement is a quite new furnace and a brand-new oil tank. While the house is in move-in condition, a bit of thoughtful updating of kitchen and baths will make the home really shine. Outside, the entirely fenced-in yard has gardens, a wide-open lawn perfect for entertaining and games, and a spacious barn that serves as a garage and workshop and has a large second floor that could become as an artist's studio or creative workspace. Steps away from popular local restaurants and the Stissing Center for the Arts, this property is right in the heart of this up-and-coming town. Less than two hours from Manhattan and close to hiking, biking, farmers' markets and antique centers, Pine Plains is an easy drive to the nearby towns of Millbrook, Rhinebeck, Millerton and Hudson. Come and see this place and make it your own!

About This Lister

I'm a native of the Hudson Valley whose family has been here for five generations. I've lived on both sides of the river and know them well, and I live now in Columbia County. I love the Hudson Valley, its people, its natural beauty, and its houses, and I'm thrilled to be helping people find and sell homes and land here. Whether you’re looking for a primary home, a farm, or a vacation home, I'm here to help you find the perfect property. An avid home gardener, orchardist, raiser of poultry, and a veteran of home renovation, I can advise on both the indoor and outdoor potential of a property. And if you've got a property to sell, I can help you present it in its best light, helping you find the perfect buyers for your home. A professional musician, I'm connected with the area arts scene and am always glad to share all the exciting events that go on in the area.
