You won't believe the welcoming energy in this house, just 10 minutes from the center of Woodstock. Light pours in from all sides of this quintessential raised ranch off a scenic road and on a beautifully paved private driveway. Offers open-plan living space with sliders to a large deck, perfect for alfresco dining or watching the sun set over the Catskills. Come and check out the idyllic views. You might even see hawks and eagles soaring above. Below the house, a lawn slopes down the hill toward trees that could be selectively trimmed to expand the view. You may want to keep the lovely apple trees that are vestiges of an old orchard. In spring, the blossom-filled branches are a sight to see. On the home's main level, you'll find two bedrooms, a full bath, and a large primary bedroom with en suite bathroom. The charming kitchen features a large island/breakfast bar. Take the stairs down to the lower level, and you'll find four distinct, light-filled rooms that could be utilized to suit your lifestyle and interests. This floor also has a full bathroom. The largest room could serve as an art/music studio or in-home business. An alternate use would be an entertainment oasis with enough space for multiple couches and a pool table or ping-pong table. This room, along with one other downstairs, contains sliders to the yard. The three additional rooms on this level could serve as home offices, guest quarters, or art-making spaces. A beautiful meadow near the road might make the ideal site for a stand-alone art studio or guest house. Featuring a deep well, central air, and an automatic generator ensuring reliable power, this inspiring home on 4+ acres is located near the famous Overlook Mountain Trailhead and protected Mount Guardian Preserve. For a change of pace, it's a short drive to the many shops, music venues, cafes, and galleries in colorful Woodstock and less than a half hour to Phoenicia, Kingston, Saugerties, and the Thruway. The Trailways bus and Amtrak train station are easily accessible. The Trailways bus to and from NYC stops on Route 212 at Reynolds Lane. The drive to NYC's George Washington Bridge is approximately two hours. Imagine living in this spacious mountain home year-round or visiting at your leisure to relax, hike, ski, create that masterpiece, or meet new friends while listening to live music or enjoying a fine meal in one of the Hudson Valley's historic and picturesque villages.
