Rare Gem - First Time on the Market! Experience the serenity and seclusion of country living in this exceptional Cedar-sided Ranch, tucked in amongst the trees on nearly 9 surveyed and subdividable acres. Offered for the first time by its original owners, this 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath residence was built by them with uncompromising quality and timeless craftsmanship to endure for generations. The main level is 1400 sq. ft. with an additional 1400 sq. ft. of space in the finished basement. A grand sense of space welcomes you the moment you enter. The open-concept design showcases vaulted wood ceilings from the cozy living room to the inviting eat-in kitchen with beautiful wood cabinets, an island and stainless steel appliances. Throughout the home, solid wood doors, Oak hardwood and tile flooring enhance the natural beauty and enduring character. The home also features central air conditioning, central vacuuming, ample closet space and plenty of space for storage. The finished walkout lower level extends the living space with brand new ceiling tiles, a cozy wood stove, the half bath, laundry room and a custom bar area for entertaining or private relaxation. The poured foundation of the home was done top notch with Blue Max insulation which adds much efficiency along with a brand new roof. Outdoor living is equally captivating — from the covered rocking chair front porch perfect for morning coffee, to the expansive rear deck with a hot tub with views of your very own private acreage. Other features of this property include a detached two-car garage with a workshop and attached covered carport on the side. This is more than a home — it's a home of enduring charm and distinction. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a true country sanctuary. Only 10 minutes to the NYS Thruway Exit 21, minutes to the Village of Catskill and other surrounding towns, and less then 2 1/2 hours from NYC.
