For Sale By Owner

There are many appealing features to this four (could be five) bedroom turn-of-the-century house.  Perfect location for year-round or vacation living!!

Much of the original charm of this distinctive 1898 house remains, with original yellow pine floors, moldings, stone fireplace and fieldstone foundation, and gives it a refined country atmosphere.

There is a large eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, living room and entry room on the first floor. Across the front of the house is a large screened-in porch. High ceilings and spacious rooms make the house very comfortable and suitable for entertaining.

The second floor has two large bedrooms and two smaller bedrooms, a ceramic-tiled bathroom plus a small porch overlooking the forest.

At the top of the stairs is a landing area with a beautiful bay window which provides another wonderful view of the property.

 There is a full basement and finished attic which can be used for additional living space or an artist's loft.

The house is situated on a private road with 21.4 acres of mixed hardwood forests, with old logging trails winding throughout the entire area for cross-country skiing, hiking, hunting, etc. The property boundaries consist of stone walls on two sides and 30 foot rock ledges on the west side.

There is a large fenced-in garden with great sun exposure, fine soil and established perennials. There are three stone-lined wells on the property, two of which have water in all seasons.

The property is in the town of Bethel in the Monticello School District and the magnificent Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center is just ten minutes away. Route 17 is five miles away and the George Washington Bridge is one hour and forty five minutes travel time. Trains to NYC are thirty minutes away.

There is access to a stocked trout stream and a nine mile long lake across the street from the driveway entrance. Access to the lake for trailered boats is one-eighth of a mile away. Activities abound with easy driving distance such as golfing, boating, tubing, skiing, fishing, mountain biking, mountain climbing, horseback riding, flea and farmers markets, antique shops, quaint stores, Monticello race track and casino and so much more. Perfect location for vacation or year-round living.

In addition to the house, there is a large two-story barn and a two-story woodshed. Both buildings were constructed at the same time as the house and have an architecture compatible with their use and the time period in which they were constructed.
