17 Chamberlain Hill Red Hook, NY 12571

A true mid-century time capsule, 17 Chamberlain Hill Road is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Red Hook history. Built in 1956, this thoughtfully preserved ranch has been held by the same owner since its completion and retains the details that make its era so enduring: original redwood paneling, warm oak floors, birch cabinetry, and western-facing windows that welcome the afternoon light.

Set on .69 acres along a private dead-end road, the property has a quiet, established feel. Its history is closely tied to the Red Hook community, where the original owners spent decades, including years teaching in the Red Hook School District. The grounds are just as special, with thoughtfully established plantings that bring color and interest throughout the seasons. A kousa dogwood welcomes you at the driveway, with a redbud, flowering crabapple, and weigela adding to the landscape. In the backyard, a large pink azalea, an impressive hydrangea, and established perennial gardens create a lovely setting to enjoy the outdoors.

Inside, the original materials and thoughtful details speak to a different era, when craftsmanship and simplicity went hand in hand. A partially finished lower level offers additional flexible space, along with a workshop for projects, hobbies, or creative pursuits. Just minutes from the vibrant Village of Red Hook, with its local shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, this home offers a wonderful balance of privacy and proximity to town.

For those who appreciate authentic 1950s character, this is a special find. With its original details and distinctive history, 17 Chamberlain Hill Road offers the opportunity to make a home with character your own.
