34 Hendricks Ln Stone Ridge, NY 12484

Rarely does one find a charming home in a quiet country setting within easy walking distance of the Historic Hamlet of Stone Ridge, NY. This move-in condition home is on a town maintained road with only 7 homes on it. (... so tucked away that few have even notice the road off Cooper Street when heading out of the hamlet towards the Marbletown School) The home offers the best of all worlds. Being the second from last parcel on the road provides virtually absolute tranquility for things like lazy afternoons, poolside in the back yard. And, in the winter you’d rarely even see or hear a vehicle while sitting by the fireplace in the living room or working in the adjacent home office/library. REALTORS notice when clients are seeking a country retreat, many people share their desire for a “charming house... with character...in a private setting, in a quiet, convenient location.” This home clearly fulfills those very desires. Originally constructed as a cottage, c.1940, it was then added onto with a c.1960 spacious, full two story addition. The resulting combo provides an interesting and nicely functional layout for dual-residents or full-time owners. Within, there are mostly hardwood floors and many architectural details to provide the soothing comforts of a well built older home. The two story addition houses the main bedroom up and a roomy great room and library down. A once open front porch was enclosed long ago and still features the original clapboard siding inside and large windows which welcome in the light and seasonal breezes. A more recent addition, off the kitchen, is a spacious deck, and extensive poolside patio space for sitting outdoors and enjoying the established landscape and mature woodlands. The very inviting inground pool was constructed in Fall 2004 and is beautifully landscaped. There’s even a poolside gazebo for time out of the sun. Though the parcel is .69 acre, the mature trees, well established landscaping, and location provide terrific privacy, rarely found even with homes on larger acreage. Most buyers would use this home as a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath with an upstairs area for reading or computer time, If needed however, that area might also accommodate a bed for periodic extra guests. Note; not included in the listed square footage of 2049 are the refinished basement (2010) or the detached 2 car garage (c.2003) For those who enjoy cooking and entertaining guests simultaneously, the very spacious kitchen and adjacent sitting area by the Jotul woodstove provide a great opportunity to customize the appliance area of the kitchen so that you can easily interact with your guests while you’re cooking.
