A Modernized Midcentury Ranch in High Falls: $879K

  |  September 5, 2024

High Falls, a small hamlet in Ulster County, sits between the Catskill Mountains and the Shawangunk Ridge, offering up first-class hiking at both Mohonk and Minnewaska.

Today’s Upstater pick calls High Falls home. Orchard Hill is a modernized Midcentury ranch—and the exterior shows off classic details including a brick facade, an assortment of picture windows, and a low-slung roof.

The foyer is subdued and elegant, with a hardwood floor and soft-toned walls.

A white-painted brick fireplace commands the wall across from one picture window in the living room. We love that arched doorway.

The dining room is large and bright, with a traditional iron chandelier overhead.

The den has a wood-paneled accent wall and is fully carpeted. A door to the outside makes this a perfect home office, too.

The kitchen has been updated and has a center island with a butcher-block top. Bright, mossy green walls pop against the white cabinets and subway-tile backsplash. The washer and dryer reside here, too.

There’s another door to the backyard here, as well. Check out that prep sink on the island! And there’s a powder room off the kitchen, according to the listing.

The three bedrooms all have hardwood flooring and plenty of windows. This one is just off the kitchen.

This one seems a bit smaller but is plenty big enough for a large bed.

The shared bath has a dual-sink vanity and a glass-doored shower.

A blue velvet bed anchors the primary bedroom.

It’s got its own door to an outside patio, where we can spy a hot tub.

The ensuite bath has its own clawfoot tub for indoor soaking.

If a luxuriant shower is in order, this glass-and-tile stall delivers.

Orchard Hill is 2,303 square feet and sits on 3.57 acres, with a backyard full of apple trees, rolling lawns, and wild meadow. It’s no wonder, given that Stone Ridge Orchard is just beyond the backyard.
