This cheerful, thoughtfully designed mid-century home with a separate +/422sf finished studio is in the Hudson Valley's Columbia County and close to the Berkshires, offering quintessential country appeal in a peaceful setting. Perched amongst mature trees overlooking the picturesque Indian Creek, enjoy a charming home within the beauty of nature for weekend escapes or year-round living.Laid out on one level with an open floor plan, the house features an oversized living/dining room with a fireplace flowing into a 4-season sunroom: a cozy and bright living space with high ceilings, 8-foot windows, skylights and a sliding glass door leading onto the patio. Large enough to host a crowd comfortably, everyone will delight in the views of the changing landscape during all four seasons. The primary bedroom is large enough to accommodate king-sized furniture, and has a bay window and en-suite bathroom (with a tub). The second bedroom is also spacious and can fit queen or king furniture. There are hardwood floors throughout, and a tiled three-quarter bathroom off the central hallway gives guests and visitors their own bathroom to use. The galley kitchen is thoughtfully configured, with an adjacent room that is currently used as an office but could function as a den, reading room, or could offer the opportunity to expand the existing kitchen.Just off the brick patio outside is the finished studio with another 400+ square feet of living space. The studio -- with high ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors and a vintage wood-burning stove -- gets ample natural light, conducive to making art but could also be used as a separate home-office, client-facing business, or yoga/workout space. The studio has a three-quarter bathroom and kitchenette as well, adding to its convenience.The property surrounding this home is a naturalist's retreat. The sizable patio overlooking mature pine trees with soothing sounds from Indian Creek below is the perfect spot to decompress. The wooded hillside in the back of the house is a beautiful backdrop for social gatherings outside as well. A sunny lawn at the base of the property offers direct access to the stream and the opportunity to extend the garden. Tall evergreen trees envelop the house in privacy, checking all the boxes for a rejuvenating home and work-life balance.Located 10 minutes from the Village of Chatham, shopping and enjoying a meal out is easy to do.The Amtrak is 30 minutes away, and the house is 2h 20m from NYC by car.
