608 N Clove Rd, Verbank, NY 12585

For those who like rustic, this authentic and unspoiled 1867 country retreat allows one to relax into a simpler life. On 11 wooded acres with no houses or other development in sight in any direction, yet close to main roads, one can sit quietly on the front porch to read or enjoy a lunch outside under the tree behind the house. An enclosed, 3-season wraparound back porch (not in sf) offers a sheltered view of the back grounds. Walk along an old farm trail to the stone walls that border the property in either direction or, for exercise right at your doorstep, hike up the ridge behind the house. Inside the house, wide board floors and two working fireplaces are focal points, for the walkout lower level open kitchen/family room and for the main living room, front to back on the middle floor, which expands into the enclosed porch and outside. A very white open loft-like third floor (not in sf) has been turned into the master bedroom with a soaking tub bath and a quiet study area. Second bedroom from living room, beside a small library, with play area at top of stairs. Shower bath off the kitchen. Combined laundry/mechanical room makes this a home where every inch of space is used for living. New septic tank and above ground oil tank 2018. New furnace, 3 zones, 2015. A shed in back has two windows, could have electric, cable. Expanded off-street parking area, 3+ cars. Be as 'away' as you like and still be connected and centrally located on this pretty country road.
