560 W Saugerties Road, Saugerties, NY 12477

Here's your unique opportunity to own a serene1893 clapboard farmhouse-style cottage. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated with modern comforts, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a privately-set retreat with an historic red barn and stunning mountain backdrop--yet just 15 minutes from the vibrant shops and cultural attractions of Woodstock and Saugerties.

The interior showcases wide-plank hardwood floors and rustic ceiling beams throughout. The country kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a separate pantry, flowing into a full-sized beamed dining room with large windows and a French door that opens to the enclosed porch.

From there, step into the inviting living room with a wood-burning stove and a convenient half-bath. Upstairs are the 2 bedrooms, featuring a comfortable main bedroom with en suite, generously sized bathroom featuring a claw-foot bathtub/shower and washer/dryer.

Both bedrooms feature wide-board floors and original entry doors. Outdoors, enjoy the perennial gardens, bluestone patio, beautiful rock outcroppings, and the versatile red storage barn that can be transformed into a garage, studio, or large workshop.

The porch leads out to a large fully enclosed area for a dog to enjoy. A brand new septic system was recently installed. A gravel driveway leads to the house, that is well set back from the quiet country road. Nearby hiking trails, waterfalls, and swimming holes provide endless opportunities for recreation.

With its mix of privacy, charm, and accessibility to Woodstock and Saugerties, this enchanting residence is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a character-rich retreat less than two hours from New York City. Note: Property is at the end of West Saugerties Rd which stays open all year round and is well maintained by the town.
