Home Details for 204 Ashokan Road

Welcome to the Delamater-Davis House, a tastefully restored circa 1750 stone home on over 4 acres with a lovely creek in the hamlet of Marbletown. Built for the Delamater family, descendents of French Heguenots who immigrated from Artois, France, and later operated as a tavern on the essential connecting road from Kingston into the Catskill Mountains, this designer four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence is one of Marbletown's oldest surviving homes and among the most significant examples of 18th-century Hudson Valley stone architecture. With five fireplaces, original wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, and a working restored beehive oven in the kitchen, this storybook property is straight out of a fairytale with the Stony Kill running through the property and spilling over a natural waterfall, making the land as compelling as the house itself. For the first time in more than a century, the home has undergone a comprehensive, historically sensitive restoration, rebuilt from the studs to function beautifully for modern living. An original Dutch door opens to a welcoming kitchen, where rare ash flooring, custom millwork, and a fully restored wood-burning fireplace create a gathering space grounded in the home's history, drawing in the sound of the creek. A second restored wood-burning fireplace warms the living room, and a dining area, powder room, and screened-in porch complete the main level. Upstairs, ceilings have been raised to modern proportions, transforming the second floor into bright and comfortable living spaces. The primary suite features a fully functional gas fireplace and ensuite bath and office, joined by three additional bedrooms, a shared full bath, and an upstairs laundry closet. Two guest bedroom fireplaces retain their original charm and are equipped with gas lines for future installation. The recent restoration was extensive. The home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt using as much original material as possible. The central chimney was reconstructed, all five fireplaces returned to working order, the historic beehive oven carefully rebuilt, ceilings raised, new mechanicals installed, and the floor plan reconfigured for modern living. The oldest windows date to the late 18th century; new historically appropriate windows were added in 2023. The Stony Kill winds through the property and drops over a natural waterfall whose sound carries through the house. In summer, the creek beckons and the land carries the quiet character of the Marbletown countryside, much as it would have when the Delamater family first settled here. Stone Ridge and Kingston are each about fifteen minutes away, with the Ashokan Reservoir and its surrounding trails just down the road. Fording Place, a beloved local spot for creek walks and picnics, is close by; Marbletown Town Park sits just across the Esopus. Farm markets, restaurants, and cultural destinations extend in every direction. The Delamater-Davis House is among the most historically significant and comprehensively restored stone homes in upstate New York.
