A Move-in-Ready, Modern Ranch in High Falls: $719K

  |  January 8, 2024

In the 1800s, the hamlet of High Falls in Ulster County was a bustling stop on the Delaware & Hudson canal.

The history of those days lives on in the D&H Canal Historical Society; the hamlet itself has grown and evolved into a community-minded locale that’s attracted visionaries and artists such as Marc Chagall, who had a home and studio here. Today’s Upstater home is more contemporary: The three-bedroom ranch was built in 2020. Its green siding and open front porch are welcoming, melding a classic look with modern lines.

The front door opens to a living/dining/kitchen with gleaming wood floors. A pale, stacked-stone fireplace is snugged into a corner.

The granite counters of the kitchen—on a center island as well as on the white cabinetry—complement the fireplace’s gray/white color scheme.

A pair of three-light pendants hangs over the center island. The rich tones of the copper, double-bowl sink are matched in the intricately tiled backsplash.

All three bedrooms are on the main floor, and all have the dark hardwood flooring that runs throughout the house. The primary bedroom has a crystal, wall-mounted light and big, multi-paned windows.

The primary bath has Moroccan-like tile on the floor and on the walls of the tub/shower combination. A Baroque vanity in dark woods is topped with a dual-sink counter.

The laundry room, too, has interesting tile along with front-loader machines set atop storage pedestals.

A half-bath with a marble-topped vanity is handy for guests.

This bedroom has a modern, Edison-light chandelier…

…and this room, a bit smaller, is a little plainer but still nice.

The secondary bedrooms share this full bathroom, which has a black-and-white checkerboard floor and a white tub/shower and vanity.

The two-car detached garage is perfect for sheltering vehicles and for storage.

It has extra workspace on one end, too.

The house is on 1.8 acres of manicured lawn. A glass of crisp cider at Stone Ridge Orchards is just a mile away; the High Falls Food Co-op, providing fresh provisions since 1976, is even closer. Trivia tidbit: The hamlet is shared by the towns of Marbletown, Rosendale, and Rochester, and this home is in the Marbletown part.
