- Remarks: On a quiet road minutes away from the historic village of Woodstock and lively town of Kingston, NY, this beautiful, fully renovated and updated 1825 farmhouse provides sophisticated country living with unusually low taxes. Mature planted gardens surround this unique home that combines the best of old and new: farmhouse charm, including traditional low ceilings with original beams, and modern pleasures, such as a contemporary, light-filled kitchen and a bright, airy 25' x 22' space that could be used as a combined bedroom/den or a studio for yoga, art, music, and more. To enter the main house, stroll from the blacktopped driveway past flower bushes and fruit trees, then step under a covered porch to the front door. You’ll be welcomed by a loft-style, open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space that lends itself to entertaining and family gatherings. A stone fireplace and wood-burning stove heat the downstairs and upstairs of the main house during winter. Downstairs, floors have been remodeled with exotic Acadia wood. The modern kitchen features marble countertops, butcher-block surfaces, and a farmhouse sink. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry plus a utility room that includes a washer, dryer, utility sinks, and a new multi-boiler that runs on propane, providing cost-saving hot water on demand. Solar panels, leased from the publicly held company Sunrun, provide additional savings. The new owner can expect to pay under $125 per month for this year, with 2% increases per year, which is substantially lower than the utility company would charge. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has wood floors, a large walk-in closet, and access to a large attic that provides 450 square feet of storage. Each of the two bathrooms has marble floors and a new shower. The master bathroom has a tub. The second wing, featuring a large bedroom/studio and a smaller attached 13’ x 11’ room, provides privacy from the main house. Both rooms offer radiant heat. A separate entrance from the larger room leads to the backyard and a paved path that encircles the entire house. The larger room features attractive barn doors that can remain closed or opened to a level grassy yard leading to the paved circular driveway. This room provides numerous possibilities. It could be a bedroom/den, a game and entertainment room, a yoga or art studio, or even a place to rehearse and perform music or theater. Or it could serve as a private guest wing. Outdoors, there’s plenty to do: garden, hiking the trails behind the house, socializing around the fire pit, and barbecuing. A raised wooden walkway leads from the screened-in porch to a Michael Phelps-series hot tub that seats up to 6 people. The 28’ x 13’ screened-in porch could be converted to a year-round space. This room, overlooking the private oasis of the backyard, is large enough to provide another living space for a couch, chairs, and dining set. Nature lovers will appreciate the roses, lilac, wisteria, and three kinds of hydrangea, as well as the peach, elderberry, Bing cherry, and willow trees. Two giant, 200-year-old catalpa trees grace the front. Hikers will take advantage of quick access to the Ashokan rail trail. Relaxing, entertaining, creating, enjoying the yard and hot tub: Imagine the ways you could enjoy this wonderful Catskills property featuring a traditional farmhouse with modern amenities.
