Wallkill River Backdrop | New Paltz NY Waterfront Real Estate
Posted by Amy Wallace on Friday, June 8th, 2018 at 11:53am
New Paltz Real Estate has so much to offer buyers; from the great restaurants, to community events, SUNY New Paltz, the rail trail, local farms and orchards, and the Ulster County Fairgrounds. Amidst all of these attractions it would almost be possible to miss the Wallkill River winding it's way beneath Main Street on the west side of town, if it weren't for the beauty and calm the river seems to extend out into the village beyond, making New Paltz a very special town indeed.
For thousands of years the Wallkill River has fed Ulster and Orange Counties. Now you can feed your senses on the banks of the river that Native Americans called the Twischsawkin. The river has been used by farmers, industrialists, naturalists, vacationers and indigenous peoples. It’s quiet now, and the perfect backdrop for the storybook post and beam contemporary home that sits on its banks awaiting new owners.
Prepare to be enchanted as you approach this unique home, built in 1987. Unexpected curves, windows and rooflines hint at European castles of ages past, but the lasting impression is one of modern contemporary American style. Gardens and stonework frame the perpetually moving view of the river, and all is peaceful.
The interior is full of energy with windows everywhere letting in a light that bounces off art-ready white walls framed by huge exposed oak beams. Vaulted wood-faced ceilings, a second floor walkway suspended above the living room, a stand-alone fireplace, and many other architectural details make this home special. A glass-walled sunroom lets you enjoy the lake even on chilly days.
