Charming Village Gem with Storybook Garden in the Heart of Rhinebeck: Nestled within the Rhinebeck Village Historic District, this circa 1798 home—thoughtfully expanded in the 1820s and early 1900s—offers timeless character, extensive updates, and a garden sanctuary that feels worlds away, yet is just moments from the vibrant village center. Step inside and discover a bright, beautifully restored 2-bedroom home where original wide-plank wood floors, a beamed ceiling, and a brick fireplace evoke a rich sense of history. The living room flows into a stunning library/sunroom, bathed in light from walls of windows and framed by custom built-in bookshelves and a stained glass window—ideal for morning coffee or curling up with a novel. The spacious country kitchen is both functional and full of charm, featuring a cozy dining alcove that overlooks the garden. High-end appliances—including a Bertazzoni 36" induction range, vent hood, and dishwasher, plus a Miele washer and ventless dryer—are seamlessly integrated into the home's warm and welcoming aesthetic. Upstairs, the serene primary bedroom includes a generous dressing area with a full-size closet and six additional custom closets. A second bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor, adjacent to a thoughtfully updated full bath with heated Nero Marquina marble floors, a reglazed original tub, and classic Barber Wilson fixtures. Beyond the home itself lies its crown jewel: a deeply private, fully fenced garden oasis. Winding gravel paths, blooming cherry, magnolia, and dogwood trees, a bluestone terrace, and plug-in landscape lighting create an enchanting outdoor retreat. It’s a space to unwind, entertain, or simply breathe in the stillness—without ever leaving the village. Additional highlights include historically accurate bluestone sidewalks and walkways, new Mitsubishi mini-splits for zoned heating and cooling, a fully renovated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, septic, insulation, roof, and more), and a large 20’ x 24’ garage with soaring ceilings and an original tin-topped potting bench—perfect for workshop, studio, or future expansion. This truly turnkey home offers the rare combination of authentic period charm, modern comfort, and extraordinary outdoor living—all just a short stroll to Rhinebeck’s beloved shops, cafes, farmers market, and cultural delights.
