4 Clove Branch Rd Hopewell Junction, NY 12533

Originally built in 1873 as the historic East Fishkill Schoolhouse, this one-of-a-kind residence blends Hudson Valley character with thoughtfully integrated modern updates. Soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed hand-hewn beams, and wide original yellow pine floors create a warm and dramatic living space filled with timeless charm, with the original screw marks from the school desks still visible in the flooring-a rare and authentic reminder of the building's past. Updated interiors, Andersen windows, updated siding, and new outdoor lighting complement the home's historic appeal while enhancing everyday comfort. The open-concept layout features a custom kitchen with reclaimed wood cabinetry and a reverse osmosis water filtration system, while the main bathroom continues the home's artisanal aesthetic. The spacious bedroom offers cedar-lined closets and direct access to the rear patio, while the loft provides flexible space for additional sleeping accommodations, a home office, or a cozy reading nook. Two ductless heating and cooling units provide efficient year-round comfort. Outside, brick patios, a pergola, awning, and multiple sitting areas overlook beautifully landscaped 0.75-acre grounds filled with mature specimen trees and perennial gardens, creating a peaceful setting ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A new roof, fascia, soffits, gutters, and reinforced basement support beams further enhance the home, while the basement and storage shed provide excellent additional storage space and a washer/dryer. Enjoy the privacy and charm of a country retreat while remaining close to shopping, dining, and area attractions. Rich in history and thoughtfully updated throughout, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of the Hudson Valley.
