This Magical Country Cottage in turnkey condition offers the best of all worlds. Live on a lush, peaceful and gorgeous mountain, close to several breathtaking preserves, and enjoy the home's central location which puts you in easy reach of the restaurants and amenities of New Paltz, Kingston and Poughkeepsie. Enter the dream of the charming white cottage come true, from the pristine oak floors to the large new wooden Pella windows letting in views of a verdant landscape rich with mature trees. On nearly three acres, the possibilities for future expansion--be it a guest studio or elaborate gardens--are endless. A new top-of-the-line modern Morso wood fireplace insert in the living room will keep you warm and cozy in the winter and high-end Minka Aire fans will keep you comfortable in the summer. The gourmet kitchen will delight any epicurean with its stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, spacious Carrara marble counter-tops and abundant cabinets. Both bedrooms in the home have an en-suite bathroom and are configured for maximum flexibility. The bathrooms feature marble tile floors and subway tiles on the walls. Each bedroom also has a large closet, including a locking walk-in one in the master bedroom, convenient for owners who might want to use the home as a vacation rental in the future and still have a private area for their belongings. The home also has a new Honeywell wi-fi thermostat that allows you to easily monitor and control temperatures from your mobile device or computer anywhere in the world. This home has several exterior spaces to enjoy the peace, quiet and abundant wildlife in the area, with a screened front porch where you can listen to the sounds of a seasonal creek and a very large fenced-in backyard ideal for relaxing and entertaining. A trail circles around the back of the yard, giving access to the rest of the property, including bushes ripe with blackberries in the summer and woodlands of tall trees. A large shed conveniently stores all of your gardening tools and equipment. The home is less than ten miles from New Paltz. Less than a mile away, the Shaupeneak Preserve's 790 acres is ideal for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and kayaking. The home is also close to several other preserves including the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary which is less than three miles away. It is an easy jaunt to Poughkeepsie from 9W, making the location ideal for someone working at Vassar College or Vassar or St. Francis Hospitals.
