A hidden gem tucked just off Columbia Turnpike, East Greenbush, where storybook charm, privacy, and enchanting gardens create a truly special retreat. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath cottage bungalow offers timeless character while remaining conveniently close to everyday amenities. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout, complemented by an original wood entry door. First floor features a bedroom and full bath, a welcoming living room with a cozy gas fireplace and a second living/family rm entered through a beautiful, original, millwork doorway. The formal dining area, and 9-foot ceilings add to the spacious feel of the main level. Enjoy the working kitchen with views of the backyard and bird feeders just beyond, bringing the outdoors in! Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and generous eave storage space. The grounds are truly part of the story, with perennial gardens, fruit trees, and a variety of berry bushes creating beautiful garden-room settings throughout the property. The sellers intentionally kept the mature arborvitae in front of the home, creating a natural privacy screen and serene retreat for the covered front porch. Step through the rear mudroom and screen door into an enchanting backyard. The level, semi-fenced yard is surrounded by thoughtfully planted gardens and charming landscape settings, offering privacy, and plenty of room to relax or entertain. A rare opportunity to own a home with genuine character and a peaceful setting. East Greenbush school district. A MUST SEE!
