    Introducing The Edmund Rockefeller House, a circa-1855 residence set on 5.5 acres in the heart of Germantown. With a substantial barn, mature trees, and an unusually large parcel for a hamlet property, the offering brings together historic architecture, versatile space, and meaningful acreage. The approximately 2,828-square-foot, four-bedroom residence is defined by its wraparound porch, decorative millwork, and beautifully carved double entry doors. Inside, generous rooms and preserved details continue throughout. The first floor includes a large living room, dedicated study, kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, and an exceptional formal dining room with intricate inlaid wood floors and a stained-glass bay window. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a dedicated laundry room. The house includes one full and two half baths. The detached barn adds another dimension to the property, with extensive storage and workshop areas along with a finished studio space and full bathroom, well suited to creative work, a home office, hobbies, or collections. A comfortable yard surrounds the residence before giving way to predominantly wooded acreage. **Five and a half acres within Germantown's hamlet is an uncommon find**, providing room and separation while keeping the conveniences of town close at hand. Hudson, Tivoli, Red Hook, and Rhinebeck are all within easy reach, along with Amtrak service from both Hudson and Rhinecliff--placing the property at an ideal crossroads of village life and the broader Hudson Valley.
