Delightful Country Charmer! This is the one you have been waiting for! If you are not the “raised ranch” type, be sure to schedule an appointment to see this bright, spacious, contemporary cape style home with a detached garage/workshop, in a quiet, private country location. Move right in and start to enjoy! Situated only 5 minutes to the NY State Thruway, this setting is convenient for weekenders and commuters and will appeal to those buyers looking for a private wooded property. The versatile main level has a sunny, open living room and dining area (with exposed beams), plus a cozy nook with a New Woodstove and built-in bookcases. What a great entertainment area! The U-shaped kitchen has lots of counter-tops (including some butcher-block) and charming Cherry Wood Cabinetry. It is open to the dining/living areas. The office (or den or guest room) has its own entry, and would be perfect for a home office setting. There is also a spacious first floor bedroom and a newly renovated appealing full bathroom. Upstairs features two oversized bedrooms and delightful recently renovated full bath with a skylight. Each bedroom has plenty of closets, and there is a walk-in storage attic. Now, check out the sweet outbuilding! Built to look like an old fashioned little barn, this garage features one parking space for a car, plus a large workshop (13X19) with separate electric, plenty of natural light, and a 7’ overhead door. True to the spirit of country living, a new chicken coop provides housing for your flock! The 8X8 coop and 10X14 open pen have been built with precautionary measures to be impenetrable to predators. The house is set in the open, with a few mature trees in the front and back yard for easy play areas or pool. There is a wood deck overlooking the backyard, with a lovely view of the woods on the property. What a lovely package for weekend or full time enjoyment!
