The BOW HOUSE, minutes out of New Paltz and just steps away from the Mohonk Preserve Gateway, you will find, what we believe to be the only Bow House in New York State. A Bow house is one of those rare things in life which is both aesthetic and practical. It looks good and it works. Being a rebirth of an Old Cape Cod idea of bending roof beams to please the eye of the seafaring owners of the time. Increasing upper level useable space is precisely what gives the aesthetic appeal. Also for a more authentic look is the center chimney cape design.The Bow House has 2 fireplaces, one is a Rumford fireplace and warms the living room while the other is in the dining area. The special 3" sq. bricks & beveled corner bricks manufactured to make the fireplaces have a real 200 year old look The reproduction of some of the windows include beveled glass and 12 over 12 windows, custom shutters and many other touches making this Bow House as real a reproduction as possible. The rationale of the Bow House is to make the best compromise between what was and what is. This home is being sold by the original owner who had the insight to know how to blend the beauty of English gardens & landscaping, stone rear patio, 3 season sunroom along with additional space above the garage, which is waiting for you to finish as a studio. The old wood roof shingles were replaced recently and continue to give character to this already handsome home. Here is an opportunity to show your individuality in a home that is timeless. Many additional details can be seen when you visit, but don't hesitate because you could be left without an opportunity to be the next owner.
