Welcome to Thistle Manor, an extraordinary stone and brick residence built in 1801 as a parsonage in the Flatbush hamlet of Saugerties. Sited on just over three sprawling, well-manicured acres, this Hudson Valley landmark blends two centuries of craftsmanship -- solid stone walls and deep, two-foot window sills -- with the comforts of modern living. Spanning more than 4,400 square feet across 13 thoughtfully designed rooms, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with high ceilings and a flexible, functional layout. Hardwood floors run throughout, illuminated by elegant chandeliers and abundant natural light from oversized windows. A living room, family room, and formal dining room -- anchored by a cozy fireplace -- flow into a chef's eat-in kitchen. A home office, art studio, and library/den add versatile space for work and hobbies. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with an ensuite bath, separate vanities, a dressing room, and a meditation room. Three additional bedrooms include a second primary suite with a private office, vaulted ceiling, and balcony. Outside, mature landscaping offers ever-changing blooms throughout the season around a private bluestone patio, pergola, hot tub, and heated saltwater in-ground pool. Wander through raised garden beds to a spring fed pond by the potting shed, or relax on the porch overlooking the private yard. The grounds also include an original ice house and a detached two-car brick garage with loft space -- rare survivors of the estate's working history -- along with a long, freshly paved drive. Minutes from the NYS Thruway, Kingston, and Rhinebeck, Thistle Manor offers a rare chance to own a piece of Saugerties' early architectural heritage with an easy commute to NYC.
