26 Maple Avenue

This extraordinary home is not simply a house that is for sale -- it is an integral part of Warwick's architectural history. More than just a place to call home — this is a legacy property -- for one generation and for the next. Known as “The Normandy,” it is a masterpiece designed in 1889 during the height of the Gilded Age by renowned architect E.G.W. Dietrich. Prominently featuresd in "The Halcyon Days," the two-page spread highlights its notable provenance. From the welcoming front porch to the original wood double Dutch doors and countless details like stained glass windows, sliding pocket door, and beautiful wood finishing, the craftsmanship and vision of another era reveals itself at every turn. There's a surprise hidden hallway that connects the kitchen to the living room. With two separate butler's pantries, and convenient half-bath — you'll love the high-end Capitol-brand stove, built-in microwave and warming drawer, wine cooler and gleaming granite island. The formal dining room is large enough to host a gala party for 20 and has one of the four fireplaces in the home. Head upstairs and discover two bedrooms, a renovated full bath and separate laundry room. Then there is the luxurious primary ensuite with whirlpool tub and a huge walk-in closet with its own balcony! It is separated by a sliding pocket door, making it truly a private suite. Then there is the amazing third level, with separate bath anbd jack and jill bathroom and huge bonus space making it a self-contained world of its own and ideally suited for multigenerational living. 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, the undisputed “The Crown Jewel of Orange County, NY” has to offer. Plus, this is a great commuting location to NYC (less than 60 miles away) by bus or rail (NJ Transit) Come home to 26 Maple – because whether it's a summer afternoon by the pool or a quiet evening on the deck you are, at once, away from it all and in the heart of everything.
