50 Spruce Street, Kerhonkson, NY, 12446 | $305,000

VILLAGE GEM WITH WOODLAND VIEWS. Held in the loving hands of the same family for 43 years, this peaceful haven is a rare offering in today's market. Ideally positioned at the corner lot of two dead-end roads, this 3-bedroom 1-bath bungalow balances all the conveniences of village living with the beauty and quiet that only nature can bring. Popular dining and shopping destinations are nearby. Enjoy comfort food at Kerhonkson Diner down the street. Cross the bridge to Mill & Main for a treat or meet friends at the Flying Goose Tavern. Walk the rail trail or take a bus to NYC. And always rest easier with municipal water and sewer. What makes this village property exceptional is its location across from acres of woodlands with creek access at the DEC fishing site. Unobstructed views of towering trees across the dead-end street help establish a level of privacy and calm more akin to a rural location. This complements nature's bounty already evident on home grounds. Yards on three sides host a myriad of perennials, attracting feathered friends and happy pollinators. Trimmed privet hedges in front guide your way to the entry. Out back, full sun encourages gardening and gatherings. A picnic table is at the ready near raised beds. A shed is handy for potting and tools. Of particular beauty is the Eastern redbud with its vibrant pink blossoms each spring. A 30-foot-long porch outside the kitchen offers a relaxing spot to breathe in the fresh air while listening to birdsongs and taking it all in. As a full-time residence or a weekend getaway, make this one your own. The house is ready for whatever you envision following numerous improvements just completed. Both interior and exterior are freshly painted with new windows and recessed lighting throughout. Red oak floors have been refinished. The dining area opens to the kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, flooring and backsplash. Lining the hallway are several storage closets with a beautiful built-in cabinet at its end. Utilize all three spacious bedrooms or consider repurposing one as an office, library or meditation room. While some may choose to update the bath, others will celebrate its retro pink-and-gray styling of yesteryear. Head down to the basement with new sheetrocked ceilings and recessed lighting. Comfortable in most seasons already, adding a permanent heating source would expand year-round living space. Beyond storage, think studio, gym, media room, playroom, recreation area. A doorway leads to a separate room, laundry area and half bath next to the utility room. Exit the basement into the oversized one-car garage. The graveled driveway offers additional on-site parking for one more vehicle with plenty of off-street parking available on this corner lot. Just a short drive away are Lake Minnewaska State Park, Vernooy Kill Falls, Arrowood Farms, Catskill Native Nursery and other great local institutions. Less than 30 minutes gets you to New Paltz, 40 to Woodstock and Kingston. Local ski resorts are about one hour's drive away with George Washington Bridge reachable in well under two hours.
