Property Description
Take a step back in time, but still enjoy the character and upgraded amenities that this historic 2 story stone home has to offer! The Van Reeds operated the stone mill as a flour mill through the 1800s and a mill race once connected this mill to the Van Reed Paper Mill #2. and then this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home was purchased by Dick Weidman, who gutted the home in the 70s and famous architect, Ward Hayes, designed and converted the mill into the beautiful residence it is today! The stone mill was built in the 1850s (note the cornerstone by the kitchen door near the 2nd level) and the residence, which was built inside the stone walls, was completed in 1972. The front covered porch will lead you into this extravagant home with hardwood flooring throughout. The formal living room has crown molding and a marble surround wood fireplace for those long winter nights, and French Door access to the large rear deck. The formal dining room also boosts crown molding and deep window sills. This updated kitchen will be a delight to serve all your guests and comes with glass front cabinets, upgraded countertops and fixtures with a farmhouse sink, tile flooring and backsplash and all appliances remain. There is a lovely eating area with beautiful views of the property. The primary bedroom also has crown molding and deep window sills and its very own ensuite with a whirlpool tub, glass surround shower and tile flooring. There are two additional spacious bedrooms and a hall bath which also holds the laundry area. The lower level still retains the large arch through which the water, used to power the mill mechanisms, still exists and was turned into a beautiful window, as well as the original steam engine, that powered the mill. The family room, with a second wood burning fireplace, and an office make this living space quite inviting. The third floor attic has lots of possibilities or can be used storage. Next, take a step outdoors to enjoy your very own private paradisethe home sits on 1.33 acres, that crosses over Cacoosing Creek, and there is very impressive professional landscaping and hardscaping, as well as paths, to explore! The rear patio comes with a wood fired bread/pizza oven, built and installed by a Romanian stone mason, which has arched brick inside and sections to store wood and supplies, and since it retains heat, you can also heat picnic food! And lets not forget about the detached, oversized 2-car garage and circular driveway, for lots of parking. The home and garage has a newer slate roof, newer gutters and downspouts, interior and exterior painted recently and central air. Schedule your showing today to own this little piece of history!
