Set down a long private drive, this classic cape cod style home offers exceptional privacy on a 5 acre wooded lot within a beautiful residential pocket just 15 minutes from Rhinebeck Village. A true retreat, the property offers multiple outdoor areas of enjoyment including a large heated, gunite pool, rear deck, front porch, and expansive lawn. Wide plank pine wood floors flow throughout the renovated home, adding warmth and character. The main living area features wood-beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace next to the grand dining room with 28 ft. cathedral ceilings - perfect for intimate dinners or entertaining. The bright walk-through kitchen opens directly to the pergola covered rear deck overlooking a large 20x40’ gunite pool with expansive hardscaping - an ideal setting for summer days. There is a spacious first-floor primary suite while two more generous bedrooms and a full bath are found upstairs. On the other side of the house with a separate staircase is a large family room - a flexible space to meet other needs such as a home office, play room or guest room. At the base of this staircase is another full bathroom and connection to the attached 2-car garage. The full basement with built-in work benches offers plenty of workspace and areas for storage. Thoughtfully updated, the home includes a generator, fresh exterior paint, new roof (2023), and updated central air (2025). Set on a quiet dead-end road the property offers exceptional privacy. Well-suited as a full-time residence, weekend home or investment property, there is so much potential. Within the Rhinebeck School District in the municipality of Stanford, the home has been an active Airbnb rental. For those seeking more space or investment potential, the adjacent property at 21 Pine Knoll is also available for sale by the same owners — offering the opportunity to create a larger compound.
