When it comes to kid-friendly communities in the Hudson Valley, the Dutchess County village of Rhinebeck sets the bar high.

Not only does Rhinebeck have a highly-regarded public school system, the village hosts a number of family-friendly events all year long, from the Sinterklaas Festival during the holiday season to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome from May to October. There are also lots of nature trails to explore (Ferncliff Forest and Poet’s Walk), as well as libraries, kids yoga, arts & crafts…the list goes on (find out more here).

This charming Victorian five minutes from Rhinebeck village looks like just the kind of house in which we would’ve loved to grow up. Includes 3 beds/2.5 baths, nearly 2000 square feet of space, and, perhaps best of all, 4.7 acres of land situated in a gorgeous country setting, old red barn thrown in just to drive the point home.

For the old house enthusiasts, check out the interior of this c.1880 Queen Anne. Comes with plank floors, living room fireplace, enclosed porch, and original ceiling beams in the kitchen. Also included with the kitchen: A drool-worthy riverstone back splash.
