Beautifully Maintained Home in Rhinebeck: A bucolic space on the edge of the village.

  |  May 27, 2025

This week, Upstater visits Rhinebeck. The Dutchess County town officially dates back to 1788, although it was first “settled” in the 1600s.

Today’s Cape Cod-style home was built in 1944, and retains nice details like this covered front porch and painted, cedar-shake siding.

A rustic, distressed ceiling contrasts with rich wood flooring.

The living room is cozy, with white walls and a smattering of windows.

A dining area is within view of the stairs with a deep-red accent wall.

The kitchen is modern and elegant, with stainless-steel appliances and dark gray cabinetry. White subway tile covers the backsplash. The butcher-block island seats two.

The main-floor bedroom has peachy-pink walls and hardwood flooring.

We love this bathroom. It’s got black-and-white penny tile; a pedestal sink; a tiled shower; and board-and-batten wainscoting beneath moody gray walls.

The two bedrooms upstairs share cabin vibes, with dark wood paneling and angled ceilings.

The wall-to-wall carpeting here looks easy to maintain.

A screened porch is a nice surprise.

The 1,224-square-foot house sits on a half-acre lot. What’s behind that partition?

A private, bluestone patio awaits.

It’s just off Route 9, on the very edge of Rhinebeck village—Matchbox Cafe is under a half-mile from here for tasty eats. The home is listed for $650,000.
