1926 Berme Rd Kerhonkson, NY 12446

This well-maintained home and 3.5 acre property, which includes gardens, berry patches, shady trees, grassy lawns, and a couple of acres of woods in the back, offers everything you need for the simple life in the beautiful Rondout Valley. A stand of mature evergreens borders the peaceful, country road, and the Catskill mountains are visible above the treeline to the North. Along the paved driveway, flanked with ornamental trees--Japanese maples, flowering pear--are perennial flower beds, a long raspberry patch, and a large, gated garden with established blueberries, gooseberries, red and black currants, concord grapes, and asparagus plantings. An artesian well supplies water to the home and gardens, and the two-car garage, and wood shed add functionality and convenience. The home's relaxing front porch wraps around to the large deck, which offers plenty of room for outdoor dining. Inside, there is a front hall with a coat closet, a living room off to the right, dining room to the left, both with views overlooking the property. The kitchen is bright and spacious, with a slider out to the deck. A full bath and first-floor bedroom round out the main level floor plan. Upstairs, there is a half bath and two large bedrooms with generous closets. This sturdy cape was built with 2"x6" construction, a poured concrete foundation, and drain tile installed. Hardwood floors are found throughout the main level (linoleum in kitchen and bathroom), and 6-panel wood doors and double-paned Andersen windows throughout the home. A new roof was installed last year. Downstairs, the full basement has high ceilings, room for additional living space, a laundry room, and a cold storage room, perfect for a root cellar. The basement's wood burning stove offers a secondary heat source to the main furnace, and the dual chimney houses 2 flues. Recreational opportunities within a 10 minute drive include Minnewaska State Park (miles of trails, waterfalls, and mountain lakes), the Town of Rochester Park, and the O&W Rail Trail, which runs along the Rondout Creek. The hamlets of Accord and Kerhonkson are within 5 minutes, and are home to Saunderskill Farm Market, Kelder's Farm, Arrowood Brewery, and Westwind Orchard & Cidery.
