You'll appreciate this well built charming and spacious home, with an abundance of plantings, trees and bushes bursting with vibrant fall colors throughout the nicely landscaped grounds. A private backyard oasis includes an in-ground pool, cabana and plenty of room to party with family and friends. The rocking chair front porch beckons you to sit and enjoy this private, but not secluded, bit of tranquility. Step into the wider than normal front entry and hallway flanked by a beautiful living room with lots of light, a gas fireplace with built in's and window seats and on the other side, through french doors, is a den/office with a built in entertainment center. Beyond the den is the open and bright kitchen with a dining area that easily accommodates a large farm table. Enjoy lots of windows and light that looks out to the pool and back yard, easily accessed by a side porch. Located just off the hall is a powder room and laundry. Thoughtfully placed, is the first floor Primary bedroom suite, which also looks out over the pool and back yard. The second floor has two nice sized bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, a full bath and a huge family room, all joined by a central area large enough to accommodate a desk for homework or home office work. A whole house fan can help keep the house cool on those only slightly warm days. The rear fenced yard houses not only the in-ground pool, but a cute shed providing chicken accommodations with their own fenced yard within. Don't miss the little pond with a small sitting area, stone bench, plantings and river birch! Centrally located with easy access to Mohonk and Minnewaska State Parks, the rail trail and all the restaurants, farm stands and breweries etc. this area has to offer. Only minutes to Mohonk, Stone Ridge, High Falls, Rosendale and Accord and the Rondout Valley High School and middle school. Vibrant uptown Kingston, the Rondout waterfront and New Paltz are only about 15-20 minutes away as is the NYS Thruway exits 18 and 19.
