126 Gettle Rd, Averill Park, NY 12018

You'll fall in love with this custom post & beam 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home perfectly situated on a 1.63 acre keyhole lot offering seclusion yet the convenience of being less than 10 miles to Albany, 6.5 miles to I-90 Exit 8, and only minutes to stores, restaurants, area lakes, and schools... just walk to Butler Town Park or Averill Park High School! Set back from the road with a curved driveway, this is a wonderfully private setting! There's a newer (2012) 4 car (40' x 24') detached garage offering a new 60 AMP electric panel, 2 overhead doors, and 2 open bays. There's also walk-up storage overhead. This home offers quality construction including 10" thick insulated foundation walls, SIP (structural insulated panels) and Andersen vinyl clad double pane tilt-in windows. The timber framing was cut from logs from the Ticonderoga area and were rough sawn at Paulson's Wood Products in North Petersburg. The joinery was done at Star Ridge Designs in Petersburg, delivered to site, and Star Ridge finish planed and routed the beams and erected the frame on onsite. The sub-floor/exposed ceiling is tongue and groove white pine from Mayfield, NY, the first floor window and door trim is white oak from the property itself, and the cherry window trim in the kitchen is from Mayfield. Additional features include a Weil McLain propane boiler for zoned radiant heat (all 3 floors), 150 AMP electric, public sewer, and a drilled well. Outside offers a side deck, paver walkways, and a patio area surrounded by landscaping with a walkway to the heated in-ground Concord "lagoon" style pool with vinyl picket fencing. Inside you'll enjoy the bright & open floor plan & many updates: new ThermaTru front door, updated lighting throughout, and updates to all baths. The foyer offers a cathedral ceiling, chandelier, and ceramic tile that extends into the formal dining room and through to the kitchen and partial bathroom. In the kitchen you'll find an abundance of cherry cabinets, Wilsonart solid surface counters, and the appliances are included: newer GE gas range w/oven, new GE microwave, Kenmore dishwasher, and the Maytag refrigerator. There's a double door coat closet by the side door entrance, and the partial bathroom features a new vanity cabinet w/ marble top & a new lighting fixture. The spacious living room / family room offers neutral carpeting and an atrium door to the patio area, yard and pool. Upstairs you'll find the three bedrooms w/ carpeting and vaulted ceilings. The master bedroom features a double door closet and master bath with skylight, ceramic tile shower and flooring, new lighting, and a new vanity cabinet w/ granite top & new faucet. There's also a heated towel bar w/ a timer! Bedrooms 2 & 3 both offer spacious closets. The 2nd full bath features a new fiberglass tub/shower, new wood laminate flooring, and a new vanity cabinet, lighting & faucet. There's a convenient laundry chute in the hallway that leads to the basement! The full basement offers 9' ceiling height, a Bilco door exit, and finished areas (just add finish flooring if you prefer) perfect for a recreation area and craft room. The unfinished portion of the basement is where you'll find the mechanicals and the laundry area (Samsung front load washer and dryer included). For those who would like to add a fireplace in the basement and/or on the main floor, the house was constructed with a 12" slab under the area where it could be placed with the framing of the house constructed to accommodate a fireplace as well.
