Living in history

Circa 1870 Colonial, the Amity Parsonage is a mainstay in the hamlet of Amity in the Town of Warwick.

This special home has seen updates and renovations throughout the years to bring it up to modern times while keeping its old world character one would expect in a circa 1870 home - character that cannot be replicated in a new home.

From the horse and carriage step at the beginning of the bluestone walkway to the wide-board floors, period details, Victorian moldings, hand-hewn beams and beehive oven to the large gathering spaces, this home is an old-home lover’s dream.

The wide rocking chair porch welcomes you into the magnificent foyer where you immediately feel like you’ve stepped back in time.

An impressive dining room with built-in buffets is where large gatherings will be held - imagine all of the holiday meals around a large table with laughter and cheer.

The colonial kitchen has been recently updated but maintains the old-world charm as you will see in the brick fireplace and beehive oven.

Retreat to the gathering room and formal living room for mixing, mingling, enjoying family time and relaxing and don’t miss the beautiful bay window and many large windows allowing the natural light to stream in.

Upstairs has plenty of options for your busy lifestyle with an office, sitting area with skylight, three generously sized bedrooms, all with high ceilings, including the primary bedroom en-suite with recently refreshed full bathroom plus an additional bathroom with the original cast iron tub.

This not to be missed home is set on more than three-quarters of an acre with rock walls, fruit trees, gardens, brick walkways, paver patio and plenty of room for outdoor fun.

A convenient location within minutes to Warwick’s Downtown with shops, cafes, restaurants, seasonal farmer’s market, parks, schools, wineries and breweries makes this an excellent choice for those who love to get out of the house.

Enjoy nearby skiing, hiking, golf and spas.

Being within 55 miles of the GW Bridge, you’ll find that Warwick is easy to call home.
