Imagine waking up to the sounds of the Rondout Creek, stepping through expansive sliding glass doors, and starting your morning on a private elevated deck overlooking the water. Set in the heart of Rosendale, this reimagined 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage brings together modern design, natural beauty, and an enviable village lifestyle. Rebuilt from the studs up, this approximately 1,000-square-foot home has been transformed with virtually every major component replaced. The result is a move-in-ready home that offers the comfort and feel of new construction while sitting in a setting you simply can't recreate. The open living space is warm and inviting, with a Scandinavian-designed Morsø wood-burning stove as its focal point. Expansive sliding glass doors connect the interior to an impressive 240-square-foot elevated deck, where seasonal views of the Rondout Creek and the soothing sounds of flowing water create an exceptional outdoor living experience. The kitchen features quartz countertops and modern finishes, while the primary bathroom offers the comfort of radiant heated floors. In the guest bathroom, a beautiful clawfoot tub--believed to be original to the home--is a feature retained from the original cottage, adding an unexpected touch of character to the otherwise thoroughly modern design. Natural hemlock siding complements the wooded surroundings. Major improvements include a new architectural shingle roof, Marvin windows and sliding glass doors, new electrical and plumbing, new HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, kitchen, and bathrooms. No detail was overlooked, creating a home that lives like new and is ready to enjoy from day one. Outside, the setting continues with a semi-private backyard, firepit, and hand-laid limestone retaining walls dating to the Delaware & Hudson Canal era. The property is directly adjacent to Lock 8 of the Delaware & Hudson Canal National Heritage Corridor, with views of the original canal towpath on the neighboring property. And then there's Rosendale itself. Enjoy easy access to local cafés, restaurants, shops, galleries, and the Rail Trail, then come home to your own peaceful retreat above the creek. Conveniently located between Kingston and New Paltz, you'll have easy access to hiking, biking, farm markets, wineries, Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, and everything that makes the Hudson Valley such a coveted place to live. Modern. Peaceful. Convenient. And completely transformed. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully rebuilt creekside cottage in the heart of Rosendale--where the sound of the water, the beauty of the landscape, and the energy of the village are all part of everyday life.
