This is not simply a house that is for sale. It is a piece of Warwick history, a work of architectural art, and an extraordinary place to call home — for one generation, or for the next. It’s irreplaceable craftsmanship that has never been replicated and, simply, never could be. To paraphrase Shakespeare -- “this is a home that dreams are made of” …it’s unique with incredible historic details and provenance, private yet close to civilization, and certainly not cookie-cutter… are these on your dream home wish list? You will find it here in one of Warwick's most distinguished addresses: 26 Maple Avenue. Known as “The Normandy,” it is a 3,500 square foot masterpiece designed in 1889 during the height of the Gilded Age by renowned architect E.G.W. Dietrich. Dietrich is recognized as originator of the first "Craftsman" house published in Stickley's Magazine in May 1903 and architect of dozens of Victorian homes around the country. In the prestigious book "The Halcyon Days," the home is featured in a two-page spread highlighting its notable history. Set on 1.3 private acres, on stately Maple Avenue, and encircled by mature trees, the property conjures the sensation of a world apart— while being conveniently found just two-tenths of a mile from the heart of the vibrant Village of Warwick, NY. Step inside and the craftsmanship and vision of another era reveals itself at every turn. From the welcoming front porch to the original wood double Dutch doors and countless details like stained glass windows, sliding pocket door, beautiful wood finishings, and a surprise small staircase that enables a modern circular flow on the main floor. The double living room leads to a fully renovated Chef’s kitchen that will make the modern cook feel right at home with a Capitol-brand gourmet oven, built-in microwave and warming drawer, wine cooler and gleaming granite island. There is a proper butler's pantry — a hallmark of homes of this caliber and era — that offers the kind of functional elegance rarely found today: the perfect staging ground for dinner parties, holiday celebrations, or simply the pleasures of a well-organized home. A convenient half bath off the kitchen is opposite a mini-pantry area with direct access to one of the two separate back porches. The formal dining room is large enough to host a gala party and has one of the four fireplaces in the home. Head upstairs and discover two bedrooms, a renovated full bath and separate laundry room. The luxurious primary suite has ensuite bathroom with whirlpool tub and a huge walk-in closet with a balcony!

With its own removal from the main living areas, it offers independence without distance — a rare and increasingly sought-after configuration in today's market. A lush backyard surrounded by mature trees encircle a tastefully fenced pool shimmering at the center of it all. It creates a sense of privacy that feels almost implausible given how close you are (two tenths of a mile!) to everything Warwick has to offer.
