A Stone-Accent Home in Wappingers Falls
Jane Anderson | December 16, 2025
Wappingers Falls, a hamlet near the Hudson River in Dutchess County, is a nice mix of rural beauty and suburban convenience.
Today’s Upstater pick hews to the rural side, in this stone-accent home in Wappingers Falls. Built in 1938, it has telltale signs of what was original (probably everything that’s stone) and what’s been added on (whatever is NOT stone). The OG part of the house is saltbox-style, with a charming pergola on one side.
Look how cute.
Enter the house into a stone-accented sunroom/mudroom, though it’s too pretty for that label.
What purpose to give to this space is up to the new owner’s imagination.
The living room is cozy and updated, with a stacked-stone, gas fireplace.
And the main-floor bath is updated, too: Black tiles cover the walls, while a patterned tile in black and white covers one shower wall (and the floor, too, according to images in the listing).
The kitchen is a home chef’s dream, with a tile floor, sleek wooden cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and a stone wall that’s the other side of the sunroom/mudroom. Marble tops a generously sized center island that seats three on one side.
It’s a double-tier island, to boot. Across from it are sliders out to the deck.
The house has two bedrooms on the main floor and one upstairs. This one is on the main floor, and has a poppy-tone accent wall, walnut-colored hardwood flooring…
…and a stone accent wall.
The upstairs is home to the primary bedroom, which also has dark wood flooring. A wood-planked ceiling is a nice surprise.
The third bedroom, back on the main level, is smaller and more plain than the other two.
There’s room in the house for a fitness space and laundry room, too.
The deck has a semi-private view.
An above-ground pool is ideal in the summer; the 1.7-acre parcel also includes a shed. The home is listed for $483,976. It’s a bit closer to Hopewell Junction than it is to Wappingers Falls’ downtown, set in a quiet neighborhood that’s not far from the Taconic State Parkway.
