LOVINGLY RESTORED 1890 VICTORIAN FARMHOUSE WITH INGROUND POOL ON ACRES OF MEADOWS AND WOODLANDS. Spacious and elegant home with original charm and character intact. French doors, wood floors throughout. Up the center hall staircase are three corner bedrooms filled with light. On main floor, the living room with library nook is separate from the dining room. Both are adjacent to the spectacular 180-degree wraparound enclosed porch with walls of windows and wainscoting. The large bright country kitchen with bluestone flooring offers a cozy dining nook with zinc-covered antique work table and benches, stainless steel appliances (including a wine fridge) and custom island with waterfall edge (fashioned from a downed ash tree off the property). Downstairs is a full finished basement with windows on three sides and access to the outdoors, providing a media and recreation space with laundry facilities and utility room. Baths are on each of three levels. While civilization is just minutes away, this property is its own destination. Room to stretch out on your own or gather with friends and family. Land to garden and roam. No worries that pool contractors are booked to 2022! Swim laps this very spring in the 20x40 saline inground pool. Host a barbecue at the 16-foot outdoor banquet table that seats 20. Take a stroll in the wooded wonderlands, bring your binoculars for birdwatching. Roast marshmallows at the forest fire pit steps from the house, even forage for oyster, morel and lion's mane mushrooms in season. Or pick a private spot to ponder on one of several patios and porches, some alongside beautiful stone retaining walls. Indoors, watch the sun set just past the meadow each evening from the wraparound porch. Screen a film in your own home theater with mounted 65" Panasonic plasma television (owner says the best Panasonic ever built) with Roku included. Or challenge a pal to a game of ping pong. Charming outbuildings include a 3-bay garage with attached shed (1300 sf). Full workshop at the ready in one bay complete with lighting, storage and workbenches. Consider conversion to studio or guest quarters. Near the house, find a potting shed with electricity. And out back in the meadow is the sweetest structure with bench for two, affectionately named "the kissing booth" (think mistletoe for the holidays). Such a convenient location. 2 hours from NYC, less than 15 minutes to Woodstock and Kingston, about 35 minutes to Westwind Orchard and Arrowhead Brewery in the Kerhamptons, and only 45 minutes to Belleayre and Hunter Mountain ski resorts with Windham just an hour away.
