Schoolhouse No. 11 Newly RENOVATED Upstate Hudson Valley - Catskill Getaway

PRIVATE Entire house and property - 1852 Schoolhouse newly renovated in the Catskills / Hudson Valley only two hours from New York City. SPACIOUS, high ceilings. Nestled under a canopy of trees and peacefully tucked into the sophisticated hamlet of Stone Ridge. This Schoolhouse has been newly renovated with two bedrooms while maintaining its single classroom charm. Very centrally located for all outdoor activities and easy access to neighboring hamlets, villages and towns in Ulster County.

Entering the house you step immediately into what was likely a schoolhouse cloakroom reworked into a small kitchen with ample surface space for cooking, a full-size stove, a vintage chain-pull ventilation damper, and radiant heated floors. Immediately thereafter you enter the living room which was the actual one room schoolhouse that had about 12 desks in 1907 and 17 by 1941 with the teachers desk being where the large mirror now hangs. The room is airy and spacious with high ceilings and original tall windows. Warm natural light arcs through the main room with the southwest afternoon sun. Relax by the gas heated fireplace in the main room. The fireplace can also be used in the warmer months with just the flame for ambiance.

Opposite side of the room are the bedrooms where the northeast rising morning light is dimmed naturally by the trees for that extra bit of deep sleep. Both rooms have full open closets with dressers, king size Nectar and Sleep on Latex memory beds, and a desk / chair dedicated work space. One of the bedrooms directly has backdoor access, and the other bedroom includes the washer/dryer tucked perfectly behind folding doors you wouldn't even know they are there. The bathroom is modern with a glassed in shower and radiant heated floors for those especially cool nights, and a mirror with three lighting choices to help you put on your best face.

In the backyard you will find a grill for bbqing, a Solo Stove for a fire pit and seating. In the near future this will become a more defined area with bluestone inset for a patio. There is another building that is the garage, shed, and the original two outhouses at the end of the yard. These are not for guest use.

There is ample parking for up to five cars, but more comfortably for two cars.

Please wear slippers or socks when walking through the space.
