A Stone Beauty in Monroe, Near Walton Lake
Jane Anderson | December 18, 2025
Today, Upstater is at a home near Walton Lake in Monroe, Orange County.
This home was built in 1930, and has an unusual, cantilever carport next to the garage. We appreciate the lavish stonework on the exterior, which must have required a great deal of hard work.
Inside, freshly painted walls contrast with a hardwood floor in the living room.
New stainless steel appliances are snazzy in the kitchen, which has delightfully retro cabinets and granite counters.
A slate-floored sunroom runs along the back of the house.
Off of it is a parquet-floor family room awash in windows, with a brick fireplace for coziness.
A dining area and lots of built-in shelving abound here.
A first-floor bedroom is a bonus.
The first-floor full bath has upgrades like a granite counter and a vessel sink on the vanity.
Upstairs are four more bedrooms, each carpeted in brand-new carpeting.
The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet with built-in shelves and clothing rods.
The white walls are a blank slate for the next owner’s new start.
We’re kind of happy that the tiling in this older bathroom wasn’t changed; what we would change, however, is the floor.
The unfinished basement has a warren of rooms, including a bar next to the laundry room.
We think we were mistaken earlier: That “carport” looks more like entertainment space, with an outdoor fireplace facing a cut-stone patio.
It certainly is not your everyday, run-of-the-mill home. It measures 2,640 square feet and has five bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The property is about 0.18 acre, close to Monroe’s shopping as well as highways to far-reaching places, plus it’s near Walton Lake, perfect for ice-fishing this time of year. Great Mexican fare can be had at Monarca Cantina, just 0.2 mile down the road. The home is listed for $550,000.
