Property Description

OPEN HOUSE Saturday, August 8th, 11am-1pm Tucked behind mature trees and approached by a winding country road, this private Northern Columbia County retreat offers the kind of setting that has become increasingly difficult to find. An expansive front porch with the sweetest porch swing to watch sunsets set the tone, and when you step inside, more than 3,000 square feet unfold across three finished levels, where the floor plan moves comfortably from one space to the next. The newly updated kitchen sits at the center of the home, opening to the family room where a cozy wood stove provides warmth and views extend across the expansive backyard. Formal living and dining rooms provide timeless spaces for holidays and celebrations, while a first-floor bedroom / office offers additional flexibility. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, including a spacious primary suite, with an oversized custom closet and a newly renovated bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, which offers a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The finished lower level extends the home, offering room for a media lounge, recreation room, fitness studio, or guest retreat. A dedicated workshop, utility room, and additional storage ensure the practical side of the home is every bit as considered as the finished spaces. Outside, the property continues to unfold. A spacious rear deck overlooks the backyard before leading to the recently refreshed in-ground pool with a new liner, creating a perfect setting for summer afternoons with family and friends. Established perennial gardens bloom throughout the seasons, while a protected fenced garden offers space for vegetables, herbs, or cutting flowers. Fruit trees, open lawn, and a charming treehouse create a landscape that feels both peaceful and playful, offering something to enjoy in every season. The attached two-car garage includes additional storage above, providing ample room for seasonal belongings, hobbies, and future possibilities. Surrounded by nature, yet only minutes from the Villages of Valatie, Kinderhook and Chatham, as well as Hudson's celebrated restaurants, galleries, and shops, the property offers a lifestyle that feels removed from the pace of everyday life without sacrificing convenience.
