18 Depot Hill Rd, Amenia, NY 12501

This 2 bed* 2 bath home is a beautiful turn-of-the-century house with many of its original charms. The kitchen has granite counter tops, and the dishwasher, stove/oven, and microwave are all new. The kitchen island is an antique, freshly painted this summer. Laundry room on ground floor is equip with a washer and dryer, with enough space for a drying rack and pantry storage. The ground floor has a spacious living room/lounging/dining area with hard wood floors and exposed brick. There are several large closets throughout the home and additional storage space is available in the attic. This property also has some wonderful outdoor space. Enjoy the warmer months out on the front porch, on the back deck, or in the secluded back yard. You'll notice several perennials coming up to flower from spring until fall. Tenants are welcome to use the raised beds at the far end of the backyard to grow some summer vegetables. There is also a fire pit in the back yard. In the winter the bare trees allow for a mountain view from the back of the house. This home is in the Hamlet of Amenia which is roughly 2 hours north of New York City and about a 5-minute drive (15 minute bike ride) to the Metro North Wassaic train station. Wassaic itself has much to offer at the Wassaic Art Project and The Lantern bar and restaurant. The Harlem Valley Rail Trail begins at the Wassaic train station and goes north through Amenia to Millerton, (which is another great town to explore!) The Rail Trail is just steps away from this home, and visible from the driveway. Biking along the trail to the train station is a wonderful way to get to the Wassaic train station or downtown Millerton in the summer months! Also within walking distance from the house is the Amenia Library, the post office, Monte's Local Kitchen and Tap Room, Four Brothers Pizza (a local favorite), and several antique shops. There may be some flexibility with start and end dates, as well as how furnished we leave the house for you. Please contact us with any questions, or to schedule a showing. We look forward to hearing from you! (* The house actually has three bedrooms, but one will be used by the owners to store belongings while they are overseas. There is the possibility of renting the house with all three bedrooms, for an additional $200 per month.) Owners pays for: oil heating, trash and recycling pick up, water, internet (electricity is the responsibility of the tenant)
