Built c.1870 for the Gedney Family, one of the founding families of Red Hook, this architecturally significant Italianate home has been thoughtfully maintained & cared for by its fourth owners for almost four decades. Exterior details are fabulous; tongue & groove shiplap clapboard siding, veranda with brackets and dentils, bay windows constructed with unusual diagonal hatching, and perhaps the most prominent attraction, a 3-story tower with arched windows and shutters. A beautifully landscaped yard incorporating bird and pollinator gardens leads you to the original two-story carriage barn. The sunlit interior features large double parlors, pocket doors, oak & maple floors throughout, 4+ bedrooms and 2 baths. Cherry Rutt cabinetry and wainscotting cupboards are highlights of the spacious kitchen, which opens to a sweet and very useful mud room, plus a potential office or first floor bedroom. The tower room could be a lovely reading nook or meditation spot, the carriage barn a great studio space, plus there are plenty of rooms for remote working. Sited on a corner lot a block from the village center, this location couldn't be better, convenient to Rhinebeck, Hudson and Bard College. 51 West Market Street is truly a rare gem in the current market!,Level 1 Desc:DOUBLE PARLORS, DR, KITCHEN, STUDY, FULL BATH, MUD ROOM,FOUNDATION:Stone,AboveGrade:2264,FLOORING:Ceramic Tile,Wood,InteriorFeatures:Washer Connection,Electric Dryer Connection,EQUIPMENT:Carbon Monoxide Detector,Smoke Detectors,Basement:Interior Access,Level 2 Desc:BEDROOMS 1, 2, 3, 4.
