This handsome, well-maintained 3 bedroom saltbox is set on 4.5 acres of property to explore and enjoy. The backyard gently slopes away from the house -- open, grassy and shaded by a beautiful mature oak. Further down, beyond the backdrop of trees, is the entrance to a pathway that winds through the wooded part of the property, running past a small pond, along an old rock wall, and over a seasonal creek. Camping on your own property is fun in this woodland paradise. Closer to the house, the little kitchen garden holds flowers, herbs, and veggies to bring inside. The front entry porch is enclosed and used for a mudroom. Off the downstairs hall there's a coat closet, a bedroom, the kitchen and half-bathroom, and a living/dining area that is open to the second floor above. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a shared full bathroom between them. The aesthetic is clean, simple and homey, with laminate flooring and pine trim throughout. The basement is large and dry, used for laundry, a workshop, and storage, including a separate root cellar. A woodstove in the basement provides lots of warmth that naturally rises throughout the house in the colder months. At the top of the basement stairs, is a door to the brightly painted covered side porch, which faces west. Just a 5 minute drive to the shops and restaurants of Main Street New Paltz for all the necessities.
