Property Description
Welcome to the Buttercup House, a quintessential Rhinebeck Village home, at 38 Chestnut Street in the heart of Rhinebeck Village's Historic District. A generous corner lot in an exceptional location, this home is a classic Folk Victorian Farmhouse, with a full length covered front porch, lush perennial landscaping, and a spectacular private back yard. Featured in "HGTV Magazine," this home has been meticulously renovated, restored, and updated for a contemporary lifestyle while maintaining the charm and architectural details that honor its history. Stepping into this home and through the front foyer, the main floor has a warmly inviting living room, a formal dining room with a bay window and window seat, and a modern yet classic kitchen with a Wolf induction range and Bosch appliances, which leads to a rear mudroom and rear entry. A front to back hallway also connects a main floor half bath, laundry room, and private den which leads to a side yard pergola-covered bluestone patio with stone wall. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a hallway bath while the primary suite offers a bedroom with a bay window, dressing room, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath. Outside, the fully fenced back yard offers a private and gorgeously landscaped retreat with an additional bluestone patio plus a path that leads from the back of the home to a driveway and Carriage House. The Carriage House features spaces for 2 cars and storage on the first level plus 600 square feet of additional space on the second level. Easy walking distance to all of the amenities that Rhinebeck has to offer, and 5 minutes to the Amtrak station in Rhinecliff.
