Looking for a country home without large acreage to maintain and manage? Or looking to downsize but still have space for guests? This 3 bed, 2 bath, 1496 Sq ft ranch in Spencertown checks all those boxes. Built in 1965, the home sits back from the road in a park like setting on just 0.77 acres. With a beautiful view out back overlooking the neighbor's pasture it feels like you have much more space without the maintenance concern. Inside you'll enjoy the ease of single level living, hardwood floors, a large picture window framing the beautiful pastoral view and a fireplace in the living room. The galley kitchen sits right off the foyer and features tile floors, oak cabinets, plus the washer and dryer for convenience. The primary suite wing was added in 1985 and features newly refinished wide plank pine floors, a 2nd fireplace, ensuite bath with clawfoot soaking tub, and two decks. Imagine waking up to pastoral views and rolling out of bed on to the deck to enjoy your morning coffee. Beyond the larger deck is a terraced garden with space for al fresco dining and a sweet hammock tucked into a shady corner, the perfect spot for an afternoon nap. There are 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath with a walk in shower at the opposite end of the house. There is an attached 1 car garage and an unfinished basement under the original house for storage, or potential workshop space or home gym. The Buderus boiler with 3 zones is 5 years old and the hot water heater has a switch to turn off when you leave town. The location on Route 203 is very convenient. Right down the road is Spencertown Academy Arts Center a hub of creative activity. Beebe Hill and Harvey Mountain State Forests are just to the east for those outdoor enthusiasts and the Berkshires just beyond that. The house is only 5 minutes from the Taconic State Parkway and 7 minutes to the Village of Chatham where you will find all your amenities, groceries, plus great restaurants, shops, Crandell Theater, and the future Shaker Museum.
