Historic character. Comfortable living.
Set on approximately half an acre in a peaceful wooded setting, 568 Hickory Bush Road is a character-filled Hudson Valley home offering a wonderful combination of historic charm, natural beauty, and easy access to outdoor recreation.
Dating to approximately 100 years ago, the house retains the warmth and individuality of an older home, with wide-plank wood floors, classic woodwork, beadboard detailing, built-in shelving, and abundant natural light. About twenty years ago, the house underwent a gut renovation in which the electrical, plumbing and heating systems were updated. More recent improvements include a new well pump, basement air sealing, added attic insulation and an upgrade to 200-amp electric service.
A room made for gathering
During the renovation, a one-story living room was added. Its high coffered ceiling and tall windows create a bright, comfortable gathering space while complementing the character of the original house.
Old and new, naturally connected
The dining room includes a working fireplace with decorative tiles and warm wood floors. The adjoining kitchen features painted cabinetry, wood countertops, open shelving, a Bosch dishwasher and plenty of natural light.
