3988 State Route 212, Lake Hill, NY 12448

Charming 1930s Woodstock home ideal for artists, writers, or anyone working from home who appreciates character and comfort. You enter a gracious, spacious open living room with giant picture window and gas fireplace, then move into large eat-in kitchen, completely redone in 2014. The far end used to be a dining area, but is now a homey sitting area. Your choice. You then move into a fabulous art studio complete with skylight and half bath and French doors to deck. From there, you go into a screened-in porch and open deck which in turn leads into a long landscaped backyard, featuring a charming pond, and bordered by woods in the rear. The 2 car garage has 220 electric. There is also a mud room/utility room on the first floor, which provides a rear entrance to the house. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a large bathroom with a wonderful soaking tub as well as stall shower. There are stairs from the larger bedroom to a half-finished attic with sink with large window overlooking the backyard, and lots of storage. Originally used as a studio, it would make a great playroom or office, too. This house has "arms" and will welcome you. The house is in Lake Hill, a charming hamlet just west of Woodstock. It is very close to Cooper Lake, a scenic delight and favorite spot for strolling, photographing and painting. The bus from NYC stops directly in front of the house on request, making it easy for city folk to visit, and allowing the homeowner to leave their car here when traveling. It is also close to Phoenicia and skiing, whether at Bellayre or Hunter. The delicious water comes from an artisanal spring. LOW taxes.
