An updated kitchen with fireplace is adjacent to the family room with barn side vaulted ceiling creating a cozy feel and a wall of windows capturing the views. Lifestyle is paramount here with golf courses, horse trails, hiking, fishing and cross country skiing minutes away. 35 Miles from NYC. 2 car garage. Outdoor shower. Potting shed/studio with separate entrance. Invisible fencing around perimeter.
