Rhinebeck Schoolhouse

During its evolution, from past to present, this ca. 1900 Rhinebeck schoolhouse was adapted to family living. The 12 foot ceilings, yellow pine floors, wainscoting, large 6-over-6 windows, and huge pine paneled doors are the wonderful details that remain from the original 2-classroom school. An upstairs space in the very large classroom became a bedroom with bath, the smaller classroom was divided into 3 rooms with a spiral staircase designed to access the 2 additional rooms upstairs. The possibilities for these unique spaces is limitless, and with so much of the original features intact, an exciting project. The adjacent garage was converted to a cottage over 20 years ago and is perfect for guests. The back property with old growth trees, charming spaces for gardens, and a small barn (perfect for chickens if you’re so inclined), is the perfect respite. Rhinebeck Village for fine dining, and Amtrak in Rhinecliff for easy access to NYC, are just minutes away. Close to Bard College with its Fisher Center is a stellar milieu for music, learning and more. EXCLUSIVE
