About 156 Clay Road

Attention: History Buffs!! Built in 1777 as a one-room schoolhouse, this adorable stone cottage was expanded into a two-story single-family residence in the early 20th century, and has recently been thoughtfully restored, with modern updates to the kitchen and bathrooms. Period details include hand-hewn beamed ceilings and 16" deep windowsills. The new kitchen boasts custom cabinetry including a full height pantry, a professional range with hood, farmhouse sink, dishwasher, and retro refrigerator. Don't miss the gorgeous main floor bathroom with tiled walk-in shower! Also note Renewal by Anderson windows throughout, and 6yo asphalt shingle roof. Upstairs, the bright and airy main bedroom with half-bath is complemented by a cozy second bedroom and additional flex space. The spacious, sunny yard has ample room for a swimming pool, gardens, or further expansion, and features a lofted antique barn with endless possibilities. See attached docs for historical provenance info. Ulster Park is a small hamlet in the town of Esopus, just a five-minute drive from the restaurants, shops, and waterfront attractions of Kingston's historic Rondout District.
