CHARMING COUNTRY COTTAGE right in the heart of the historic hamlet of High Falls. This adorable offering was renovated top to bottom in 2008 by the former owner, a local artist and muralist. The present owner added her mark by transforming the back of the property: new blue stone patio and stone garden wall of stacked local conglomerate with beautiful plantings giving delight in all seasons. A beautiful pergola and a privacy fence w/ a gate. Stone steps lead up to a very spacious upper back yard w/ a sweet little chicken coop and an insulated/sheet-rocked flex shed that could be storage/art studio or office. Upon entering the front door, one steps into a former open front porch that is now interior space with a generous mudroom and office. The floor is a beautiful hand-stenciled pattern. The living room with refinished pine flooring is light filled and joyous with a 1st level bedroom right off of it and a full bath down the hall towards the shining glory of the home: a spacious country kitchen with a separate dining area off of it. Hand-stenciled wall paper on a butter yellow back-ground with the cabinetry a beautiful shade of olive with stone countertops. The dining area has hand punched copper cabinets and the mud room has a hand- painted mural. The upstairs primary bedroom is vast. . with an office/flex room off of it. Sunlight streams in no matter the time of day. Very light, bright and airy. If one has ever considered in-town living, High Falls is a wonderful little town with walking trails by the falls/Rondout creek.
