Authentic Hillside Haven with Mountain Views Morning light streams through the wide bay window of this classic mid-century ranch, revealing the ridge of mountains beyond and even a glimpse of Catamount Ski area in the distance. On special mornings, you might witness what the current family calls a ''Martian Dawn Sunrise,'' when the distant mountains glow a magnificent red - a rare spectacle captured in one of the listing photos. Set on nearly an acre with no immediate neighbors to either side, behind, or across the quiet road, this $495,000 home offers something increasingly rare: genuine privacy in a friendly, vibrant community. The heart of this 1,689-square-foot home tells its own story, so read on! (and buyers please verify all information herein) What was once simply a breezeway between the house and garage has been thoughtfully transformed into a welcoming mudroom and cozy den, with large windows that frame the mountain views. Inside, solid hardwood floors flow throughout nearly all the rooms, connecting the home to its mid-century style roots. The living room's oversized bay window creates a natural gathering place, drawing your eye to the changing mountain scenery beyond. A wood-burning fireplace stands ready for chilly Hillsdale evenings. The separate dining room harkens back to a time when families gathered around the table without distractions. In the kitchen, renovated around 2000, comfort and practicality merge with a clever U-shaped cooking area. The peninsula offers casual seating at table height, while windows provide views to the backyard. There's abundant cabinet space, and a built-in desk along the north wall creates a natural command center. From here, you can easily access the screened porch, perfect for summer dinners or morning coffee while listening to birdsong. Down the hallway, three bedrooms offer peaceful retreats. The primary bedroom features windows on two sides that fill the room with morning light, plus the home's largest closet and a private full bath with stall shower. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath with tub and shower. Below, the unfinished basement holds untold potential. Previous owners used it for brewing beer, starting seeds for their gardens, and housing an elaborate model train setup.There is even a whole spacious corner workshop area. With direct access to the oversized two-car garage, it's practical for storage and projects alike. Outside, established perennial beds dot the property, a large area is fenced, and the space where a vegetable garden once thrived awaits your green thumb. The abundant sunshine that bathes the yard promises successful harvests. Just three minutes from Hillsdale's increasingly hip village center, you're positioned perfectly between the cultural riches of Great Barrington (19 minutes) and Hudson (26 minutes, with Amtrak service to NYC). For outdoor enthusiasts, the Taconic Rail Trail lies just at the base of your hill stretching 26 miles south to Wassaic, NY (the end of the Harlem line from Grand Central Station). Hiking options abound, including nearby Bash Bish Falls and Alander Mountain. The honest truth? This home needs some exterior love - a fresh coat of paint and a new roof. But that's reflected in the price, allowing you to make this solid mid-century ranch truly yours while living in one of the most desirable locations in Columbia County. Don't miss your chance to make this affordable home your own special retreat!
