44 Primrose Hill Road, Rhinebeck, NY

Built in 1892 and set on 4.9 acres, 44 Primrose Hill Road combines modern upgrades with a vintage Hudson Valley vibe. This lovingly maintained home offers a plethora of assets making it an ideal full-time home or weekend escape. Located just over two miles from the center of town, this former horse farm is ideally situated for access to everything Rhinebeck offers while still being every bit the country estate.

Stone pillars invite you to meander down the long driveway to the hilltop home featuring an open kitchen, elegant dining area with breakfast porch, sun-filled living room with working fireplace and original hardwood floors, and large media room/guest suite with an impressive stone fireplace and full bath. Separate entrances make this a private enclave – perfect for guests or extended family. From here, you’re steps away from the back deck which overlooks the heated pool. Summers in the Hudson Valley can get warm, so prepare to spend some time poolside, entertaining or just enjoying the pleasures of a private resort-like setting.

Upstairs you’ll find four bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling and full bath with Jacuzzi. A door from the master bedroom leads to an upstairs porch - a perfect place for morning stretching or a relaxing cup of coffee. Three additional bedrooms can be envisioned in so many ways, from a charming nursery to fun kids’ rooms to an almost-necessary-these-days home office.

While the home itself bespeaks a level of understated luxury, much of the magic of this property can be found outdoors. The grounds feature a manicured lawn adorned with freshly landscaped seasonal plantings (something is always blooming!), towering maple trees that produce buckets of sap each spring, a gorgeous, mature magnolia tree, and gentle hills, perfect for easy sledding and snowman-building when the snows come. An antique gazebo, old stone patio with pizza oven and bluestone walls add to the Hudson Valley vibe.

In the back of the property a mowed trail leads to a small pond where birds gather. The six-stall pony stable can also be envisioned in a number of ways, from a working stable to a yoga studio. And if you are looking for a place to park your daily driver or vintage roadster, this property offers a spacious heated 2-car garage.

A bit of floor refinishing and a reimagined kitchen and bath are all you might need to make this your forever home. This truly special property offers the lifestyle you crave and the amenities you desire, making it a home you will never want to leave.
