14 Schweitzer RD Chichester, NY 12416

For those seeking that elusive work-live-play compound in a fab location comes this MID CENTURY 1960 gem just minutes from PHOENICIA, an ample 3BR/1.5 BA classic MOVE IN READY ranch home on a 3.1 acre MINI FARM with dreamy mountain VIEWS, an adorable GUEST COTTAGE and a BARN. The open concept house has been smartly RENOVATED and yet still feels of its time and loaded with retained character, with its beautiful hardwood floors and 9 FOOT CEILINGS. ENDLESS WINDOWS draw in extraordinary natural light that permeates the house throughout. Wonderful extra amenities abound including a JUMBO 12 x 36 foot DECK with a secret SOAKING TUB (!), a HUGE walk-out basement with 8 FOOT CEILINGS, a WOOD STOVE, and possibilities galore, a knotty pine-lined mudroom, a large extra foyer of the kitchen currently being used as a HOME OFFICE, and a generous walk-in closet in the primary BR that could also become another bathroom if one was so inclined. You even have views from washing the dishes in this house, and wait until you see them from the deck, facing West for spectacular sunsets. Heading outside, you'll find the GUEST COTTAGE, just a short way down a private driveway from the main house, with a kitchen, bathroom, living room and sleeping loft, providing extra space and rental options. Closer to the main house is the barn, used by prior owners as a GOAT BARN and GARAGE, but honestly, the sky is the limit here. There's a nice yard here and play area. And for something unique, you must not miss seeing the THREE TIERED GARDEN by the main house, which leads down to an enormous FIRE PIT surrounded by lush forest. As you walk the grounds, you can't help but notice the tasteful attention to detail in the landscaping including the native BLUE STONE paths and walls throughout the property. There are perennials galore here, including peonies, lilacs, hydrangeas, forsythia, and so much more. The privacy offered by this house is very nice and the property does not feel overwhelming to maintain, due to a fair bit of it being forested. Schweitzer is a very quiet loop just off Silver Hollow Road, one of the most beloved and beautiful roads in the area, a dead end road running along the Stony Clove Creek. Fabulous Phoenicia is about three miles away, with its vibrant and fun restaurants, arts and recreational scene. Belleayre and Hunter Mountains are each about 20 minutes away by car. And you're but a two hour drive to the GWB. Dream home, dream location!
