This stunning Hudson Valley property boasts an incredible blend of timeless elegance and cutting-edge amenities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meticulously Restored Toll House<\/strong> helps improve planning, consistency, and publishing quality when teams follow a repeatable workflow.<\/p>\n<p>If the walls of a 250-year-old home could talk, imagine the stories they would tell\u2014particularly those found within one Hudson Valley property that once served as a toll house where travelers would pause to pay their dues before continuing on their journey.<\/p>\n<p>The aptly named Old Toll House, which is located in Ulster Park, NY, was originally built in 1775 and pre-dates America&#8217;s declaration of independence from British rule.<\/p>\n<p>But the latest chapter of its incredible tale sees it entering a new era, undergoing what the listing describes as a series of &#8220;meticulous&#8221; renovations that resulted in a &#8220;rare blend of timeless elegance and modern comfort.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Steeped in history, character, and charm, this remarkable residence stands ready for its next steward-an exceptional opportunity to own a treasured piece of Hudson Valley heritage, thoughtfully preserved for modern-day living,&#8221; the description adds. <\/p>\n<p>For the past 25 years, the property has been owned by an interior designer who has carried out an incredible restoration of the home. It is now on the market for $799,000\u2014almost seven times the $118,000 the sellers paid for the dwelling in 2000, when it had fallen into a severe state of disrepair.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The beautiful kitchen with a walk-in fireplace and brick flooring <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/166a3a4b0a068ae9801c7184f9fae0e2w-c1533932884srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1089328\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The cozy dining room is paneled in fabric and features another fireplace and an exposed beam ceiling. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/e4a4f004b161b5de21eebd604a7a026dw-c3386907753srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1089329\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A mahogany bathroom features custom tilework. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;One of the sellers is an interior designer, so it&#8217;s incredible to see what they have done to it,&#8221; says listing agent <strong>Sally Sprogis<\/strong>, of Four Seasons Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty.<\/p>\n<p>However, unlike many historical homes in need of TLC, this property&#8217;s transformation has been significant, yet subtle\u2014restoring rather than replacing its many aging design details in order to preserve its most impressive elements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When they bought it, it was in pretty bad shape, but they have very meticulously updated it, taking care to preserve period-specific details as best as they could,&#8221; Sprogis adds.<\/p>\n<p>At the front of the home, stone steps lead to an inviting covered porch, which has been reimagined as the perfect spot for relaxing and entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>Yet guests will likely struggle not to gravitate toward the incredible kitchen, which features an extraordinary stone hearth that helps the heart of the home to serve as its coziest space.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a massive stone hearth in the kitchen that also has this incredible brick floor and copper-top countertops,&#8221; Sprogis says. &#8220;It&#8217;s so charming. Every single detail was not overlooked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other historical highlights include hand-hewn beams, Brazilian wide-board pine flooring, built-in cabinetry, custom millwork, and oversized windows.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is also Venetian plaster and fabric-clad walls in the dining room,&#8221; she adds. &#8220;The home originally had a dumb waiter, but they turned it into a linen closet. It&#8217;s truly turnkey and doesn&#8217;t need anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A full bathroom found on the main floor boasts mahogany accents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of the tilework was hand-done and it&#8217;s just so beautiful,&#8221; Sprogis says.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/6321108ace3f724c7299fac11a7f3d90w-c560251138srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1089330\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A library with built-in bookcases can be found upstairs. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/e172b724d169a0139e04200d1ab0c673w-c430930315srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1089333\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The primary bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/4db4f7ca88c8c793a2d663a53e17604dw-c2937964841srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1089334\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The upstairs bathroom features custom blue and white tilework. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Three bedrooms, including one with built-in bookcases that is currently being used as a library, can be found upstairs, along with another full bathroom with custom blue and white tilework.<\/p>\n<p>Located on 1.4 acres surrounded by gardens, stone walls, and a detached two-car garage, the property is located just 5 minutes away from New Paltz and 10 minutes from Kingston&#8217;s Rondout District.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the next buyer will be someone from New York City looking to use it as their second or third home,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;They will also be looking to experience all the Hudson Valley has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are lots of farm-to-table restaurants here, along with local breweries and wineries.
