The best of both worlds: our 1870s house fits right into its historic Rondout neighborhood, but with funky modern design, style, comfort and amenities. Relax in a beautiful zen-like outdoor oasis with pond and dining and lounging areas. Walk just a few blocks down to the waterfront where you’ll find cafes, restaurants, antique stores, boutiques, and museums; grab a freshly fried donut and coffee, and watch the boats go by from a bench in the park. The space On the first floor, the living room features exposed stone walls and wooden ceiling beams from the historic house, with comfortable contemporary furnishings. A step down takes you to the eat-in kitchen with a full coffee bar, espresso maker, and all of the tools you'll need to make a great meal. The full bathroom is also found on the main floor. Upstairs there is a spacious master bedroom with a small seating area and an adjacent workspace nook. Four steps down, there are the second and third bedrooms, with more exposed beams and unfinished natural pine floors from the original structure, and modern decor throughout. The small, cozy second bedroom features a floor-to-ceiling sliding door, and the larger third bedroom opens out directly into the garden. PLEASE NOTE! There are steep stairs in the house, and the bathroom is downstairs from the bedrooms. If you have any mobility issues or difficulty with stairs, this house may not be for you. Guest access You will have access to all areas of the house and property. Other things to note There are stairs in many different areas of the house and property and some of them are steep. Please consider this if you or anyone in your party have issues with mobility, or if you have small children, and be careful on the steps!
