Historic Gem! This is the former Parsonage House of the historic Blooming Grove Church. The home was built circa 1838. This home is warm and charming and sits on a beautiful and quiet dead end street, surrounded by 1.3 acres of park-like land. The house sits adjacent to the Church property and the BG Daycare on one side, but is up a small hill from the Church and Daycare with woods in between as a buffer. On the opposite side of the 1.3 acre property, a new house is being planned for construction by a pre-eminent builder who is under contract with the Church. The house is in the Washingtonville School District which gets high marks, and it is close to public transportation to NYC via various means: e.g. the Monroe park-n-ride Coach bus line to NYC Port Authority; the Harriman NJ Transit train station to Penn Station; and the Beacon & Peekskill MetroNorth train stations to Grand Central. This historic home boasts wide-board floors and plaster walls with original wood siding. It offers spacious gathering areas with plenty of warmth and character throughout. The dining room has a fireplace that adds classic charm, and the living room has a woodstove for warmth and comfort. A spacious family room provides plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the kind of gatherings that fit your lifestyle. The kitchen and baths are in need of updating but the house provides a warm and live-able space with a large kitchen that has direct access to the rear yard and a convenient powder room on the first floor. The kitchen currently boasts stainless steel appliances, and an eat-in area/breakfast nook. The basement also is in need of updating but it offers two full entry/exit doors on that first level of the house, with plenty of room for storage, your laundry room, and the home’s major appliances. A new well is currently under construction by the seller. The location of the home is two miles from the historic Village of Washingtonville, five miles from the historic Village of Chester and seven miles from the Village of Monroe. This makes the home very convenient to shopping, recreation and transportation. The house is close to the Orange County Rail Trail, Stewart State Forest, Roe’s Orchard, Pine Hill Farm Stand, Goosepond Mtn State Park, Schunnemunk State Park, Harriman State Park, the Appalachian Trail, Blooming Hill Farm, Storm King Art Center, Brotherhood Winery, Woodbury Commons, the historic Goshen track, Legoland NY, among other attractions. It is also just 10 minutes from Stewart International Airport. The house offers convenient access to Highway Routes 17, 87, and 84 which are all within minutes, and it is just 50 miles from NYC. If your idea of “home” includes a front porch, a little land, and an historic house with a story to tell, then you must come see 6 Old Dominion Road.
