About 35 Orchard Lane
An opportunity to own a quintessentially Woodstock artist's home, set on half an acre, just moments from the heart of the village. This move-in-ready, character-filled 1920s property offers an appealing balance of original charm, contemporary comfort and exceptional flexibility for work, creativity and everyday living. A covered front porch, approached through colorful garden beds and a stone-paved entry beneath mature trees, creates an inviting sense of arrival.
Inside, the generously proportioned living and dining room is warm and atmospheric, with original wood floors, exposed beams and beautifully crafted built-ins, while windows on multiple sides connect the interiors to the garden beyond. A distinctive artist's window adds to the room's character and speaks to the home's creative heritage.
The spacious, light-filled, thoughtfully designed kitchen is both stylish and highly functional, with Silestone countertops, a central peninsula with counter seating and thoughtfully integrated appliances including an induction cooktop, wall oven, microwave and French-door refrigerator with dual freezer drawers. Practical conveniences include a workstation sink, glass rinser, dish-drying cabinet above the sink, pot filler and dedicated coffee station. A separate sitting area provides an inviting spot for morning coffee, while a charming Dutch door opens onto a second covered porch and the garden beyond.
Upstairs, the exceptionally spacious primary bedroom feels like a private sanctuary. Previously used as the owner's artist's studio, it includes a dedicated sitting area and an impressive north-facing artist's window, adding another layer to the home's creative history. An additional room offers comfortable guest accommodation. The full bathroom pairs warmth and functionality, with a spacious walk-in tiled shower with pebble-stone floor, a vessel sink set on a wood vanity, generous open shelving, and an incorporated washer and dryer. An unfinished attic offers further potential for additional living space, subject to any necessary approvals.
The unfinished basement provides additional useful space, with two distinct flexible-use areas currently set up as an artist's workspace and a home office, offering plenty of versatility for creative pursuits, hobbies or projects. A second laundry area with an additional washer and dryer adds further practicality.
Outside, the half-acre grounds are an integral part of the property's appeal, with mature trees, established planting around the home and room to further develop the gardens over time. A firepit creates an inviting spot to gather outdoors, while the outdoor shower adds a relaxed, retreat-like quality to the setting.
The detached studio offers an inspiring and flexible space for an artist, writer or home office, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a kitchenette and a half bath with cassette toilet. A separate outbuilding provides additional space for a workshop or storage, and there is off-street parking for several cars.
Recent improvements include a new roof, mini-split heating and cooling, and a new 200-amp electrical panel, while municipal water and sewer add to the ease of everyday living.
Beyond Woodstock's restaurants, cafes, shops, galleries and cultural offerings, the location provides excellent access to the wider Hudson Valley and Catskills, with hiking, swimming, skiing and other outdoor pursuits close by. New York City is just under two hours away. A compelling combination of creative character, outdoor space and convenience, equally well suited to a full-time residence or weekend escape.
