154 Rockaway Rd

Filled with character and a deep sense of history, this converted 1838 Swisser-Style Barn finished in stone and stucco was remodeled in the 1950s with a 1993 third level addition. Set on 3.5 scenic countryside acres across the street from the trout-filled Rockaway River, the property also has an 1837 two-story wood barn containing thoughtfully finished year-round spaces. This sophisticated and expansively updated residence provides four bedrooms, two full and two half baths as well as an attached two-car garage. Highlights include flooring of oak pegboard, pumpkin pine and knotty pine, hand-hewn ceiling beams, deep-set windows, French doors, raised wall paneling and two fireplaces. Pride of ownership is evident in the beautifully-maintained home's renovated kitchen with upper-end appliances and soapstone counters, fireside living room, dining room views from a picture window, beamed ceiling music nook and cathedral ceiling sun room opening to a bluestone patio. Second and third level bedrooms include a gracious primary suite, updated baths, plus a tray ceiling library. The lower level's fireside family room with wet bar opens into the backyard. Enjoy natural surroundings on multiple stone patios. Cedar and deer fencing provide privacy, and a potting shed, a rock garden, mature trees and perennials enhance the idyllic acreage. The wood barn has a towering craft room and loft with original wide plank floors. This one-of-a-kind offering is just outside quaint Mountainville.
