About the Listing VGRN09 - 74764
Public Remarks: Welcome to 5 Riverby, a rare and truly unique opportunity to be part of Hudson Valley history. This beautifully renovated home was originally designed and built by Julian Burroughs, the son of the renowned nature writer John Burroughs, and a well- known figure whose legacy is deeply woven into this part of the region. Carved from the Burroughs' 1873 Riverby fruit farm, Julian documented the design and construction of his home in The Craftsman and Country Life in America articles. History greets you as Riverby Lane winds to a home where old-world charm meets modern-day comfort. Set in a serene landscape with seasonal views of the Hudson River and a private path to the water, this home was thoughtfully crafted to reflect the changing seasons—cool and breezy in the summer thanks to the nearby river, and filled with warming sunlight throughout the winter. Inside, the warmth and craftsmanship are immediately evident. Wood lovers will appreciate the original chestnut ceiling, curly birch paneling, cherry wainscoting, birch built-in bookcases, and a bedroom trimmed in Tennessee chestnut. Even the exterior is a celebration of natural materials, finished with slabs of butternut, oak, and chestnut. The layout is both functional and inviting. A spacious mudroom flows easily into the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating a natural hub for daily living. Also on the main level is a full bathroom and a quiet office or study—perfect for remote work or creative pursuits. A beautifully crafted staircase leads to the upper level, where you'll find three comfortable bedrooms, another full bath, and newly refinished hardwood floors that tie everything together with warmth and elegance. Located just south of Kingston and north of New Paltz and Poughkeepsie, 5 Riverby offers convenient access to everything that makes the Hudson Valley so special—wineries, restaurants, farmers markets, hiking trails, and boutique shops. If you're looking for a place that celebrates history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty, 5 Riverby is more than a home—it's an experience.
