This Rambling Rosendale Home Has Plenty of Indoor/Outdoor Space: $595K

  |  December 12, 2023

Today’s featured house is a rambling, c.1895 home in the Rosendale hamlet of Tillson that’s been beautifully renovated over the years into a comfortable and funky place.

The cedar-sided structure measures more than 2,000 square feet and has three bedrooms and two baths. It’s set on 1.2 acres of gardens and landscaped land.

The entry is a sunroom, with a wood floor and a heavy-beamed ceiling.

Blue wainscoting matches the double doors on a handy closet, where you can hang your coat on your way to the kitchen.

An exposed brick column and a mix of butcher-block and solid-surface counters add character to the kitchen, which has stainless steel appliances including a gas range and French-door fridge.

No upper cabinets here; instead, pendant lighting dangles above a long expanse of cabinetry in a yellow-green tone. An Encore woodburning stove keeps things toasty.

The rustic wood floor flows into the living room, which has skylights punched into the same kind of beamed ceiling as the entry. Triple casement windows add even more sunlight to the space, supplemented by wood globe pendants for when the sun sets.

The main floor bathroom has a mix of wood flooring and tile. A pedestal sink sits below a three-mirrored medicine cabinet.

A pair of laundry machines is set in an alcove just past a magnificent glass shower.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a private balcony through sliding glass doors.

If you’re looking for storage, this room’s got it in spades, with a plethora of built-in cabinets and drawers.

Built-in shelving appears again in this bedroom. The floor and walls are in need of refinishing here.

The third bedroom has paneled wainscoting and a wood floor.

The hall bath has a colorfully tiled floor, with more sedate tiling around the tub/shower. White wainscoting around the room’s perimeter adds another design element: a farmhouse feel. Maybe the new owner will want to decide on just one theme for this room.

The lower-level stairs have storage underneath.

There’s room here for a home office or other ideas. Although the house dates to the 1890s, it’s been updated with baseboard heating and central air conditioning, too.

The rear sunroom has knotty pine walls and a tile floor.

A screened porch sits on the side of the house; the wood flooring continues outside to a roomy deck.

A detached two-car garage/barn offers more storage and work-from-home options. Other outbuildings include a chicken coop, open woodshed, and a gardener’s shed (with an outdoor shower to wash off the dirt, before relaxing in the hot tub). It’s just south of downtown Rosendale and a three-minute drive to great hiking trails like the Giant’s Ledges Trailhead at Mohonk Preserve.
