An O.G. Wappingers Falls Home with Five Fireplaces

  |  July 23, 2025

Upstater is in Wappingers Falls, at one of the first homes built in the village.

Dating to 1788, the rambling home has five fireplaces (four of them decorative), and lots of O.G. character. Updates have been made, and additions added, and it’s just a sweet house all around.

The entry’s plank flooring and wood wainscoting belie its origins. Older-home buffs will love this.

The dining room has Colonial vibes, down to the cooking fireplace with a cauldron and everything. It’s just for show now, but still cool. And we love the built-in corner China cabinets, which light up, too.

The teal trim in the living room sets off the brick in the fireplace. This is the only working fireplace, and it’s a beaut.

The beams from the living room repeat in this parlor, which has intricate, red/white wallpaper and cream wainscoting, along with a closed-up but still pretty fireplace.

Stairs curve up behind the fireplace in this big room.

Four bedrooms have all the modern looks and comfort, like hardwood flooring and sleekly painted walls.

The upstairs hall is chock full of character, with a rustic floor, big window, and heavy beams.

Painted beams and floral wallpaper that reaches to the ceiling give this room a cottage-y feel.

Early American iron hardware fits the ethos of the house in this fully carpeted bedroom.

Beams travel across the ceiling in this bedroom, too, ending at a lit, built-in cupboard currently housing bear friends.

This sunroom is now a multipurpose bedroom.

A big, brick patio is out back. The property totals 7.7 acres.

The house has been in the same family for 62 years, and it’s worth checking out. The barn predates the home—it’s said the original family lived in a teepee while the house was being built! That barn now has heat, electric, and water. A second barn has one stall, according to the listing. The list price is $795,000.

The property is about a mile from Route 9 and all the shopping and restaurants—don’t miss Palace Dumplings!
