22 Forestwood Dr, Woodstock, NY 12498

UNDER OFFER - no more viewings available. Located in a well-established safe and quiet residential area, with 1 acre+ lots, this desirable neighborhood location is both friendly and spacious. The gently undulating topography of this southernmost area within the boundaries of Woodstock has excellent Feng Shui. As 'Gateway to the Catskills' Woodstock has some wonderful mountain walks, but for everyday living, certainly in Feng Shui terms, best not live on a steep hill.. where life can feel 'an uphill struggle' or things 'slip away'..Gently undulating neighborhoods also don't suffer so much snow, ice, cold and wind. Within its own wooded and landscaped corner lot the house has two level driveways (easiest for icey times) one from Forestwood Drive, sweeping in to allow front door vehicle access, whilst the rear driveway leads to the double garage. #22 (a 'Master Number' in house numerology) has a well-planned layout, with the main living areas over a single floor. A generous overhung front entrance offering shelter from rain or snow is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright designs which led to the iconic Mid Century 'Ranch House' style. Inside, a tiled hallway leads to both the front living room with its huge bay window and hardwood floors, and to the equally expansive rear family room with open fireplace. With south facing patio doors onto the deck, plus two sash windows, the sun shines in from early morning. Wooden floors continue down the hallway and into all four bedrooms. The master bedroom has a recently renovated en-suite. The main shared bathroom also has a new ceramic sink, taps, and toilet whilst retaining some of the original pastel yellow tiles - almost back in vogue!? On that note, Tatler's Interior Design foretells separate dining areas are ‘back in', - here, through a set of 3 reclaimed rustic doors, you'll find the original dining area. Adjacent is the kitchen with solid wood cabinets, a original copper range hood, a new Whirlpool dishwasher, modest fridge/freezer with space for larger model, and room for a family breakfast table. An internal staircase leads down to an extra large 2-car garage, 25' x 30' with adjacent workshop, storage, laundry and drier. There's also a 500 sq. ft. walk-out basement with an open fire (iconic Mid C style made with local granite), a bathroom, kitchenette, and office space. A good quality private water supply is sourced via a brand new Gould pump and above-ground head from the drilled well located at the front of the house. Also newly installed is a UV water treatment system in the basement. A new radon extraction system - safely removing any radon from below the foundation slab (venting it outside at roof height) completes a series of upgrades making this home one of the most modern - and healthy - in terms of water and air quality - in the neighborhood. Just a few minutes drive to Woodstock village with all its restaurants and riffs, with plenty of small businesses serving the community from Woodstock Hardware with their amazing array of supplies (down to a single nut or bolt if you need), to the family-owned Woodstock Lumber yard, clothes stores both new and retro, there's even a candlestick maker, and of course several organic grocers, a summer Farmers Market... Or cycle to the nearby Hannaford supermarket on the 375 - close by and an easy link to NYC. Also nearby are the stunning views across the 7000 acre Ashokan Reservoir with its new Rail Trail. Woodstock Tennis Club is an easy cycle ride nearby, or simply enjoy the numerous options for short strolls (or jogs) around your immediate locale - safe even under the starry skies, this gentle wooded ambiance is a delight.
