Charming 2-bed 2-bath apartment with separate entrance and private yard, just minutes from the village of Pawling, NY, attached to a historic mission house.

Just completely renovated with natural materials - slate floors, granite counters, wood ceilings and trim. New washer-dryer.

Shared access to 15 acres of private land with flower gardens, garden beds, mature shade trees, an old barn, and a new fruit orchard, surrounded by thousands of acres of protected land and an undeveloped 55-acre lake on the Appalachian trail.

Metro-North Railroad is 3.5. miles down the road; the train to Grand Central takes two hours. By car the property is 70 minutes from the GWB. Plenty of parking.

The apartment is a single-story addition to the old house. It has four steps up to a small private porch. Just off the eat-in kitchen there is a front bedroom (or home office) with closet, bathroom number one, and a door to a midd room which could be a bedroom or living room. The middle room closet contains a stacked washer-dryer unit. Continuing through that room you get to a high-ceilinged primary bedroom (or living room) with built-in bookshelves and stained glass over French doors out to the yard.

The main house was built in 1905 as a mission providing services to poor local people. It is owner-occupied. In the 1950's it was converted to a private residence. The addition containing this apartment was added.

Delivered empty and ready to move in, but could be furnished if needed.

High-speed internet, heat, electricity, and lawn care included.

About This Lister

I'm a small-town boy from Vermont who moved to NYC in 1987. I'm amazed a guy like me got the chance to purchase and (very slowly) renovate this property to keep it standing for the next hundred years. I have a dog, an unapologetic commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, a sporadic but deeply-felt art practice, and too many books. I like to work in the garden, sit around the fire, hike the trails, swim in the lake, etc. I'm grateful that I finally have room for guests, and have a range of friends of many different backgrounds and experience. I'm happy to get to know tenants but am a firm believer in privacy and autonomy - I'll be available but not intrusive.
