Isang Bihira at Natatanging Retreat na nakatago sa isang tahimik na burol at napapaligiran ng kalikasan, ang dating makasaysayang paaralan—na naging pribadong tahanan noong 2003 ng isang arkitektong mula sa Brooklyn—ay isang masterclass sa karakter, ginhawa, at makabagong performance. Sa mahigit $100K na mga bagong upgrade, ang tahanan ay modernisado para sa mababang-maintenance na pamumuhay at pangmatagalang halaga. Mayroon nang aprubadong plano para sa isang silid-tulugan sa unang palapag. Ang muwebles ay maaaring pag-usapan. Lahat ng pangunahing sistema ay propesyonal na na-update para sa minimal na pangangalaga at pangmatagalang kapayapaan ng isip — kasama ang isang sertipikadong GAF na bubong (50-taong warranty), buong-bahay na standby na Generac generator, upgraded drainage, at smart-home systems na nagpapahintulot sa iyo na subaybayan, protektahan, at kontrolin ang tahanan mula sa kahit saan. Tamang-tama ang taon-taon na pagtitipid ng enerhiya at ginhawa kasama ang ultra-episyenteng heat pump water heater, Fujitsu mini-splits, at New York State-certified insulation at energy sealing. Isang pinakamahusay sa klase na buong-bahay na sistema ng bentilasyon at paglilinis ng hangin ang nagtitiyak ng sariwang hangin na walang allergen anumang oras ng taon.

Sa loob, ang mataas na katedral na kisame, timber frame na mga beam, at natatanging layout ay nag-aalok ng walang kapanahunan na init. Ang kusina ay nagtatampok ng isang top-tier na appliance suite na kinabibilangan ng isang European style induction range, at dumadaloy sa isang komportable ngunit maluwang na family room na pinangungunahan ng isang wood-burning stove—perpekto para sa mga pagtitipon sa bawat panahon. Sa labas, uminom ng iyong kape sa bluestone patio na napapaligiran ng protektadong lupa ng Nature Conservancy at matatandang pino at oak. Ang ari-arian ay nag-aalok ng pambihirang privacy, tanawin, at ilang hakbang lamang mula sa mga milya ng mga wooded trails pati na rin ang Neversink River. Gayunpaman, ito ay ilang minuto lamang mula sa mga paaralan, pamimili, at istasyon ng tren, na nag-aalok ng parehong paghihiwalay at kaginhawahan sa loob ng 90 minuto mula sa Lungsod ng New York.

Maingat na pinanatili kasama ang bagong driveway, bagong gutters, bagong pintura sa labas, at isang fire pit, ang pag-aari na ito ay madalas na inilarawan ng mga bisita bilang “isang santuwaryo” at nagsisilbing matalinong pamumuhunan na may walang katapusang potensyal—kabilang ang bilang isang Airbnb. Kung ikaw ay naghahanap ng isang full-time na retreat, isang tahimik na katapusan ng linggo na pagtakas, o isang short-term rental investment—ang natatanging ari-ariang ito ay handa nang tayuan, matalino sa enerhiya, at itinayo upang tumagal.

A Rare and Unique Retreat tucked away on a tranquil knoll and surrounded by nature, this
once-historic schoolhouse—converted into a private residence in
2003 by a Brooklyn architect—is a masterclass in character,
comfort, and cutting-edge performance. With over $100K in
recent upgrades, the home has been modernized for low-
maintenance living and long-term value. There are approved plans for one bedroom on the first floor.
Furniture is negotiable. All major systems have been professionally updated for minimal
upkeep and long-term peace of mind —including a certified GAF
roof (50-year warranty), whole-house standby Generac generator,
upgraded drainage, and smart-home systems that let you monitor,
secure, and control the home from anywhere. Enjoy year-round
energy savings and comfort with the ultra-efficient heat pump
water heater, Fujitsu mini-splits, and New York State-certified
insulation and energy sealing. A best-in-class whole-house
ventilation and air purification system ensures fresh, allergen-free
air any time of year.
Indoors, the soaring cathedral ceiling, timber frame beams, and
sun-filled layout offer timeless warmth. The kitchen features a
top-tier appliance suite that includes a European style induction
range, and flows into a cozy yet generous family room anchored
by a wood-burning stove—perfect for gatherings in every season.
Outdoors, sip your coffee on the bluestone patio surrounded by
protected Nature Conservancy land and mature pines and oaks.
The property offers exceptional privacy, scenic views, and is just
steps away from miles of wooded trails as well as the Neversink
River. Yet, it remains just minutes from schools, shopping, and the
train station, offering both seclusion and convenience just 90
minutes from New York City.
Carefully maintained with a new driveway, new gutters, a freshly
painted exterior, and a fire pit, this turnkey property is often
described by visitors as “a sanctuary” and doubles as a savvy
investment with endless potential—including as an Airbnb.
Whether you’re seeking a full-time retreat, a tranquil weekend
escape, or short-term rental investment—this one-of-a-kind
property is move-in ready, energy smart, and built to last. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
