Welcome to the former Norman Mead House, a one-of-a-kind 1850s gem nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Upper Red Hook. This distinctive home blends historic character with modern comfort, featuring exposed wooden beams and plenty of personality. The open-concept kitchen - with its central island and updated finishes - is perfect for entertaining. It flows seamlessly into the inviting dining area and a cozy living room warmed by a Jotul woodstove. With two full bathrooms (one on each level), the home offers convenience and flexibility for modern living. There are 3 bedrooms, and upstairs, you'll find bright bedrooms, while the downstairs includes a versatile third bedroom that can serve as a home office, den, or creative space. Enjoy relaxing on the screened-in back porch overlooking a cute yard - ideal for gardening, gatherings, or quiet mornings with a cup of coffee. Additional highlights include a backyard shed and proximity to everything the area has to offer, just minutes from Red Hook village, Bard College, Greig Farm, and the Rhinebeck Amtrak station. It's funky, cool, and undeniably unique - make it your own.
