A True Hudson Valley Private Sanctuary: Historic Soul Meets a Complete Modern Reimagining Welcome to 262 Linden Avenue, an extraordinary 5.44-acre village-edge estate compound that seamlessly blends sophisticated modern design with the peaceful serenity of a private nature preserve. Completely gut-renovated from the basement up, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence offers the rare luxury of a brand-new home wrapped in classic architectural charm, with absolutely zero deferred maintenance. Step inside to an airy, sun-drenched main floor designed for effortless living and entertaining. The kitchen features open shelving but plenty of uppers, new appliances, and gorgeous, leather-finished Brown Fantasy granite countertops. The main level hosts a coveted primary bedroom suite with a beautifully appointed full bath, alongside a dedicated laundry room/den with an additional full bath. Upstairs, discover a spectacular loft area framed by contemporary cable railings, a luxurious bath featuring a classic clawfoot soaking tub, and two additional bright bedrooms. Every inch of this home has been updated for maximum efficiency and comfort, including high-performance foam basement insulation, a multi-zone mini-split heating and cooling system, brand-new plumbing throughout, a new roof, and a brand-new septic system-all supported by hassle-free municipal water. Outside, the property transforms into a private paradise. A wrap-around back porch and a brand-new, detached 2-car garage offers perfect storage for vehicles, a home gym, or a dream workshop/studio. While the expansive 5.18-acre main parcel showcases a stunning, protected reed wetlands ensuring permanent privacy, there is an abundance of flat, usable lawn space for gardens, a pool, or outdoor gatherings. Maximum Flexibility & Privacy: Included in the sale is the adjacent .26-acre parcel on Cornell Avenue. While the property currently enjoys a shared driveway from Linden Avenue, this bonus parcel provides the incredible opportunity to install a completely private, secondary driveway entrance from Cornell. Located just moments from the heart of Red Hook village, historic Rhinebeck, Bard College, and the Hudson River, this turnkey acreage compound is the ultimate Upstate escape or permanent residence.
