Property Description

Character, craftsmanship and an in-town Cornwall location come together in this 1887 home, where historic details have been thoughtfully preserved and everyday spaces feel warm and inviting. From the cedar shake exterior and rocking-chair front porch to the natural woodwork, Craftsman-style built-ins, stone wood-burning fireplace and hardwood floors throughout, this is a home with a personality all its own.At the heart of the home is a kitchen featuring custom, hand-made cherry and walnut cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf wall oven and a walk-in pantry. An adjoining sitting area, wrapped in windows, creates a comfortable place to start the day with coffee, unwind at the end of it, or gather while meals are being prepared. The formal dining room is equally inviting, with windows on multiple sides that give the space a bright, open feel and make it a beautiful setting for dinners and entertaining.There are 3 bedrooms with walk-in closets, an unexpected and especially welcome feature in a home of this age. An additional room, currently used as a home gym, was originally the home's sleeping porch, a feature of the era designed to take advantage of fresh air and cooling breezes. Today, it offers flexible space for an office, fitness room, hobby space or additional living area.The full walkout unfinished basement provides plenty of storage, laundry facilities, and the perfect space for a workshop, which was its use for many years. A Navien heating and hot water system installed in 2017 and an EV charger add practical modern conveniences.And then there's the location. Leave the car at home and stroll to Main Street Cornwall for coffee, dining, shops and everything that makes living in town so appealing. When you do need to go farther, the location is exceptionally convenient: approximately 9 miles to West Point, 8 miles to Stewart International Airport/ANGB, 9 miles to the Beacon Metro-North station, 5 miles to the Salisbury Mills-Cornwall train station, and about 60 miles to NYC.A home that offers the charm and craftsmanship of another era, the conveniences of today, and the ability to truly enjoy Cornwall right outside your front door.
