A Shingle-and-Stone Craftsman in Shawangunk: $950K

  |  August 6, 2024

Craftsman style isn’t limited to bungalows, as this shingle-and-stone Craftsman in Shawangunk can attest.

It measures more than 4,000 square feet inside. The exterior is truly welcoming, from its wide front porch to its river-rock first floor, with cedar-shake shingles cladding the second story. Built in 1900, the home has been wonderfully maintained.

The solidity of the stone anchors the flow of the front porch, which has a blue floor and a white ceiling. Its openness on three sides ensures plenty of fresh breezes.

Craftsman touches abound in this room, with a heavily carved fireplace matching the newel posts on a staircase.

Big windows punctuate well-stocked bookshelves in the library.

This fireplace would be so welcoming on a rainy, cool night.

Heavy columns that aren’t overly ornate are an iconic design in Craftsman homes, and these are simply gorgeous.

They lead to this stunner of a sunroom, with a fieldstone floor and rocky walls amid the windows.

Also off the library is the dining room, with mossy green walls.

Debarked logs support the ceiling in the rustic, eat-in kitchen. Precisely cut gray ceramic tile complements the color of the rock accent wall; other walls are pretty wood paneling.

There’s more of a mix of materials as you venture further into the kitchen: A hutch conceals teal tiling that repeats itself underneath the white center island.

The new owner may want to rethink the style of the kitchen, although the layout is good.

A skinny full bath has a tiled shower with a colorful medallion, opposite a big window.

The second floor has five bedrooms and three baths. This room has umber-colored walls and a rock-framed fireplace.

A tongue-and-groove-walled nook is a quiet escape.

This bedroom’s white trim pops against chartreuse walls.

White hexy tiles make up the floor in this spacious bathroom, which has a handsome clawfoot tub in its own space. We love the detail on those tub feet.

Another rock-framed fireplace appears in this bedroom, which has gray walls.

Two more bedrooms are on the third floor. We love the double windows flanked by built-in bookcases. The second bedroom up here is laid out the same.

Each third-story bedroom has its own balcony. One of them accesses the widow’s walk at the tippy-top of the house.

There are two baths up here, too: Each is long and skinny, with high ceilings like the bedrooms’.

Stone walls frame a patio out back.

An inground pool needs work, but would be welcoming on a hot day.

A cottage is a welcome surprise.

Sliding doors lead to an open-concept space with a full bathroom and kitchen (currently used as a gym area).

There’s even a tennis court with its own gazebo. Plus, the listing suggests there’s a secret feature that will be made known only to the new owners.

The property lies between the hamlets of Walker Valley and Cragsmoor, a stone’s throw from Minnewaska State Park and Sam’s Point. Choose to head southeast to Pine Bush for groceries and such, or due north to Ellenville (we suggest Aroma Thyme Bistro).
