Charm oozes everywhere in this early 20th century turnkey farmhouse on 5 glorious acres with million- dollar'' views. The home features 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, an updated kitchen, gleaming hardwood floors, gigabit internet service and is freshly painted. Wood burning and propane heat stoves provide cozy warmth on even the coldest winter days. For those we appreciate having plenty of storage you'll find a new 24x36 three-bay insulated and heated garage with studio space above and 12x36 shed roof in the rear. If more space is needed there is an additional 1 car garage as well. An extensive deck overlooks the expansive backyard which is flat and private, offering distant views to the west and an several locations for an in-ground pool. A perfect home for weekend getaways or full-time country living. It is equally convenient to Great Barrington and the Berkshires, or Hudson with its quaint shops and diverse dining choices. Closer to home you'll enjoy easy access to the HV Rail Trail, Taconic State Park, Bash Bish Falls and Catamount Ski Resort. Finding time to enjoy all there is to do may become your most challenging dilemma.
