This C.1775 Ulster Park Colonial Has All the Best Details

  |  June 18, 2025

We love so many elements of this Ulster Park home. The sloping roof with triple dormers, the whitewashed stone facade, the rusty-toned trim…

This c.1775 Ulster Park Colonial has stood the test of time. Yup, it was built before the Revolutionary War.

The foyer is beautifully paneled and painted a dusty blue. A graceful staircase leads to the second floor.

A second staircase is in the kitchen. We need to take the time to absorb all the keen details here. There’s the brick-lined, barrel-shaped ceilings, and the herringbone-patterned brick floor.

A magnificent cooking fireplace harks back to the home’s birth, no doubt. And that blue and white tile just screams French provincial decor.

The blue color scheme leaks into the laundry room, just off the kitchen and sharing its brick floor.

Gray paneled trim and built-in cabinets offer a subtler air in the dining room, which has its own fireplace. Delicate floral wallpaper is a nice contrast to bulky, rustic ceiling beams.

A white and gold woodburning stove sets an elegant tone in the living room.

A full bath has Tuscan stone tile in the tub/shower surround.

The hall at the top of the graceful main stairwell has hardwood flooring and gray-painted paneling.

Wallpaper with swags of botanicals fills this bedroom.

Oh, to fall asleep on that tiger-striped daybed, book in hand…sigh.

The red color scheme in the previous bedroom/library trickled onto the toile wallpaper in this bedroom.

Current owner: “We like blue in a bathroom.”

Potential buyer: “Oh, like sprinkles of blue, here and there?”

Holy airball…

This bathroom is awash in blue and white tile, from solid blues and whites to a marvelous mosaic of fleur de lis.

The back of the house showcases its Dutch sandstone construction. A detached garage sits next to an identically colored springhouse.

The house sits on 1.4 acres and is about five miles east of Rosendale (try the Creekside Bar & Bistro). It’s a beautiful home, listed for $950,000.
