Description

Tucked away on 2 wooded acres in the artisian hamlet of Cragsmoor is this charmer, ready and waiting for its new owners. This home, with glistening hardwood floors throughout the main level, has been recently and lovingly updated with a brand new kitchen featuring a fabulous Boos butcher block center island with seating, soft close two toned cabinets with glass fronts, indestructible Dekton countertops, stainless steel appliances and a modern farmhouse sink. The kitchen flows to the adjacent dining area which looks out to the deck and the wood-scape beyond. The living room is bright and spacious and features a wood burning fireplace with a brilliant blue tile surround, a large Palladium window to let in scads of natural light and a vaulted ceiling with recessed lighting. The primary suite is warm and welcoming, with a newly renovated en suite ensuring relaxation and privacy. The bedrooms all have large closets and center lights/fans. The lower level is tastefully finished with a large family room, a few bonus rooms for crafts, a home office, exercise or guest spaces, a full bathroom and a convenient and functional laundry room. Outside you’ll find a large deck with patio area, a screened gazebo for those warm summer nights and a fenced yard for your 4-legged friends. But this property is an experience and extends well beyond the fence! Take a hike to the back and you’ll find a spring-fed pond, perfect for eyeing wildlife or enjoying a peaceful moment. Founded in 1879, Cragsmoor is more than beautiful vistas, scenic preserves, historic architecture and world-class outdoor recreation; it offers a quiet serenity like no other place and has a rich history as an artists colony. Edward Lamson Henry lived here and helped found the colony, Charles Courtney Curran had a summer home here, and Dave Cockrum, X-Men illustrator, lived here for much of the 1980’s and 90’s. A location like this doesn’t come on the market very often! Sam’s Point Preserve, part of Minnewaska State Preserve Park, is right around the corner and is the highest point of the Shawangunk Ridge. Bear Hill, a 100 acre preserve, is also in Cragsmoor. Close by are some wonderful local farm-to-table restaurants and eateries as well as the Wine Trail, and the towns of Ellenville, Pine Bush and New Paltz for vibrant Main Streets, shopping and errands. 85 miles to Manhattan makes this an ideal weekend getaway or primary residence as NJ Transit, Short Line, and 17/86 are all within a short distance. Pine Bush School District.
