On a quiet country road, sit's the prettiest sunshine yellow house you've ever seen.
Welcome to a property where outdoor splendor and indoor comfort merge seamlessly, where everything has been taken care of, and all you need to do is arrive and exhale. Rolling hills and open farmland stretch out before you, and they're all yours to enjoy.
Inside, the dining room flows into an open kitchen and connects to a three season porch, an effortless setup for entertaining from morning coffee to evening gatherings. A wood burning fireplace anchors the living space, ready for exactly the kind of cozy winter nights you've been dreaming about. The first floor offers a bedroom with en suite bath, and a game room in the basement adds even more flexibility. Upstairs, two generously sized, sun drenched bedrooms complete the main house.
And then there's the garage. Converted into a fully self contained one bedroom apartment, a huge picture window frames sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, the kind of view you never tire of. Use it for rental income, a guest suite, a creative studio, or a private retreat for family. The possibilities are endless.
Just moments to Copake Lake, Bash Bish State Park, the Rail Trail, Catamount, the best farmers market, Random Harvest, and Hilltown Hotpies. One of the most idyllic settings in all of Columbia County.
