CHASING WATERFALLS. This quaint historic eyebrow colonial backs up to a year-round rushing waterfall on a lightly traveled winding country road. The first floor of this home has a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a country kitchen which opens to a dining area, guest bedroom/den with an office alcove, full bath, mud-room, and a spacious primary suite with its own full bath. There is a large deck accessed by both bedrooms and the dining area which runs the length of the house and overlooks the waterfall. Open the glass sliders and listen to the unending symphony of the water. Upstairs, is an enchanting guest bedroom with a sitting area and its own full bath. Beautiful wide-board wood floors throughout the house. The house is sited on more than an acre with open lawn and lovely cottage gardens. Splendid, sunny views of a tree farm across the road. There is a separate heated studio building with skylights. Perfect for the artist or as a home office. Nothing like this on the market. Conveniently located between Hudson, New York and Great Barrington, Massachusetts.
