Spectacular Rondout Creek Views | Short-Term Rental Potential Set along the banks of the Rondout Creek, this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a rare combination of clean modern design and natural beauty--along with compelling income potential. Located in the sought-after hamlet of Rosendale, where there are currently no caps on vacation rentals, the next owner may explore obtaining a short-term rental permit, opening the door to both lifestyle and investment upside. A wall of windows frames the ever-changing landscape of the creek, bringing in light, movement, and the calming sound of rushing water. In warmer months, leafy greens create a sense of privacy and immersion. In winter, the view opens up, revealing the full expanse of the stream below as you gather by the fireplace. The main level is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. An open floor plan seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, anchored by a large island and sleek stainless steel appliances. Step directly from the dining area onto a terraced deck overlooking the water--perfect for morning coffee or long summer evenings. A bright office and half bath complete the first floor, offering flexibility for remote work or guest use. Upstairs, the creek-facing primary suite is a quiet retreat, with a spacious en-suite bath and elevated views of the water. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath off the central hall, comfortably accommodating family and guests. The home features high-performance systems and materials throughout. Spray foam insulation, a high-efficiency propane boiler, central air, and a Navien on-demand hot water system work together to provide year-round comfort and energy efficiency. Outdoor living is just as considered. A lower stone patio sits close to the water's edge, where the gentle current becomes your soundtrack, while the upper deck--with a premium retractable awning--offers a more expansive setting for dining and gathering. Raised beds in the fenced in garden are ready for planting. Located just 90 miles from NYC, you're close to trailheads, cafes, the Rosendale Theatre, and the weekend farmers' market, with easy access to Kingston, Woodstock, and Rhinebeck beyond. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a full-time residence, or a turnkey investment, this is a home where design, setting, and lifestyle align.
