Its preserved character is astounding. Every period molding, the original grand staircase, panel doors and authentic flooring have been salvaged and restored. The architectural heritage is monumental as it features its signature steeply pitched hipped roof and a dominant front-facing gable that defines its Victorian silhouette. Built for Howard Conklin—the local postmaster/general store owner—and later by his son, Dr. Roger Howard Conklin, this residence has been a cornerstone of the community for over a century. It represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hudson Valley history without the burden of historic maintenance.

The lifestyle in Sugar Loaf and Chester, NY is refreshing, especially to New Yorkers getting away from the city. Nestled in a tight-knit arts and crafts hamlet, one is steps away from 18th-century buildings housing artisan studios, galleries, and boutique eateries. And there is rich Outdoor Adventure to take advantage of too! The area has direct access to the 18-mile Heritage Trail for biking and walking, plus proximity to Goosepond Mountain State Park and the Birnberg Nature Preserve. Its rural serenity offers a quiet, creative lifestyle surrounded by majestic mountains and rolling meadows, all while being part of a bustling weekend destination. Driving to and from the Conklin House to NYC is about 1 hour and 15 minutes and using mass transit a little longer.

This is more than a house; it is a storied landmark reimagined for the modern connoisseur. Nothing compares to the character, lifestyle and wilderness that the Conklin House has to offer.
