You have been waiting for a home like this. Something that feels finished, well cared for, and easy to step into, without stretching beyond what makes sense. Located in the center of Copake, this fully renovated three bedroom, one and a half bath home offers comfort, quality, and real value for a first time buyer. This is the kind of place where life feels manageable. Mornings are quiet. Coffee in hand. Light coming through the windows. Whether this is your first purchase or your move away from renting, the work has already been done so you can focus on settling in, not fixing up. The . 23 acre backyard is mostly fenced and offers privacy and flexibility, with a back deck for warm weather evenings and a storage shed for everything that needs a place. Inside, the basement and walk up attic provide excellent storage, something that is often missing in homes at this price point. The home has been fully insulated and includes a basement air exchange system, helping with year round comfort and efficiency. Located just minutes from Hillsdale, Catamount, local hiking trails, and Bash Bish Falls, this home gives you access to outdoor recreation while keeping everyday living simple and close to town. Homes that feel this complete, in this location, and at this price do not come along often. If you are ready for a place that feels like a smart first step, this one is worth seeing.
