| Notes: |
Situated on a quiet road within easy reach of Woodstock and Kingston - and only two hours from NYC - this charming farmhouse offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience.<br />
As you approach, a graceful circular drive provides ample parking and easy access. The charming covered front porch overlooks thoughtfully landscaped gardens, where a seasonal brook winds its way among roses, lilacs, wisteria, hydrangeas, and fruit trees, anchored by two magnificent 200-year-old catalpa trees. It's the perfect spot for your morning coffee, or simply relaxing in nature.<br />
Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area features original beams, Acadia wood floors, and a striking stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove that adds warmth and ambiance, providing heat to both floors of the main house in winter. The kitchen is designed for both function and charm, with a fireclay farmhouse sink, butcher block counter tops, a gas range, marble-topped peninsula with seating for four and a pantry. <br />
A separate wing with its own entrance and radiant heat features a home office and a bright 25' x 22' flex space with cathedral ceilings, sprung wood floors and two sets of barn doors, with views over the gardens. Whether used as a studio, gym, or creative retreat, this area adapts easily to your lifestyle. <br />
Sliding doors from the living room open to a spacious screened-in porch overlooking the serene back garden with a firepit, ideal for dining, entertaining, or relaxing. A raised wooden walkway leads to a six-person Michael Phelps-series hot tub, and beyond, trails meander through the woods, offering a peaceful retreat just steps from your door.<br />
Upstairs in the main house, the light-filled primary bedroom includes wood floors, a walk-in closet, and access to 450 sq. ft. of attic storage. A second bedroom and a full bath with marble flooring complete this level.<br />
This home is not only charming but also cost-efficient, with a multi-boiler heating system with on-demand hot water, a leased solar panel system and low property taxes.<br />
Outdoor and cultural enthusiasts alike will appreciate the proximity to year-round activities, including the Ashokan Rail Trail, with 11.5 miles of scenic paths perfect for walking, running and biking along the reservoir, as well as the region's vibrant arts, dining and music scenes. |
