2 Marquet Drive, Rhinebeck, NY 12572

Tucked onto a serene property just shy of 1acre, this handsome log-style Post & Beam home is in harmony with its natural surroundings. Sheltered by towering pines, it evokes a sense of rustic charm along with sturdy craftsmanship. Step onto the full-length rocking chair porch and experience a hearty welcome. Inside, the great room's vaulted beamed ceiling, wood floors and doors are the tone of maple syrup. The efficient stone fireplace will provide both romance and warmth and the sunny kitchen has a sweet country feeling. French doors lead onto the rear deck where the grill master will serve up Farm to Table feasts in every season at the 400sqft pergola complete with music, lights, electricity, and a central firepit. Back inside, the primary bedroom is quite large with a bay window suitable for a window seat. The ensuite bath offers a slipper tub below the window and a large shower. Upstairs, the landing is nestled as a perfect reading nook looking out through the honeyed beams and onto the fireplace below. Here we have two ample bedrooms and another bath. The property is totally level and private with a beautiful hand laid stone wall and fencing protecting the serenity. Plenty of open space beckons yard games and a hand into gardening - the outdoor shower will certainly be appreciated!! The 2-car garage is Post & Beam construction and is topped by a lit cupola and weathervane and the full basement is dry and available for storage or finishing. Built for the present owners, their care of the property is absolutely felt. Highly energy efficient, this is more than a home - it is a retreat. A place to disconnect from out there and reconnect to nature and yourself. Far away, along a country walking road, yet less than 5 miles into the village of Rhinebeck.
