This beautiful contempo home sits on 1.8 acres and is surrounded by gorgeously landscaped, park-like land. Close to the Grant Morse Elementary school and in a highly desirable neighborhood. With 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this 2,171 sq. foot home is perfect for you as you grow, or a place to celebrate with friends. The large eat-in kitchen has solid oak cabinetry and new appliances just off the dining area and a luxurious screened in porch makes entertaining inside-or-out a snap. Apres ski, relax and unwind in the living room next to a showpiece floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and under a wood-clad cathedral ceiling..."hot chocolate anyone?" The upstairs primary bedroom has a few bonus features: a Juliet balcony overlooking a huge back deck complete with a fish pond, lily pads and cascading waterfall. There’s also access to an enormous attic space for storage or additional living space. A few steps down from the eat-in-kitchen is a huge den (with another bathroom) and access to the 2-car garage. The large basement can be accessed through a door inside the garage. Tons of room for holiday decorations, a work bench, camping gear, you name it. The expansive back deck spans the width of the house and looks up through light woods on a gently sloped hill where an abundance of wildlife can be spotted year-round. This location couldn't be better as it’s just minutes to the village of Saugerties or Catskill, the NYS Thruway, and Woodstock or Kingston. You are 20 min. to the best skiing destinations in the area and there’s every recreational opportunity for year-round fun like: zip-lining, hiking, apple picking, wine-tasting, antiquing, and the HITS horse stables. Don't miss out! Move-right-in and create your dream home. This home has had one owner since 1986 and has been lovingly maintained. The house includes a lifetime leaf filter guarantee and a full-house Generac generator. A new roof was put on 6 years ago and a new chimney with cap was installed in 2021. A pleasure to see and show!
