Berme Road Farmhouse: Nestled on a tranquil 0.6-acre lot just minutes from Minnewaska State Park, this charming home radiates warmth and character. A spacious front porch invites you to unwind and soak in the serene surroundings. The thoughtfully designed mudroom offers convenient access to the kitchen from the back, enhancing functionality. The kitchen, both practical and full of potential, flows into a cozy family room featuring a wood-burning stove—ideal for gatherings. Efficient two-zone oil and baseboard heating creates a warm winter haven, complemented by the cost-saving benefit of the Intrepid wood stove in the main living room. On the main floor, you'll find a versatile bedroom that can serve as a guest suite or den, tailored to your needs. Upstairs, a generous bedroom awaits, along with two additional rooms that could easily be transformed into bedrooms, a home office, or storage, providing endless customization options. Rich in history, the property includes an old barn that once sheltered horses which could be restored, dismantled or replaced. The land has been conditioned to enhance the existing well water quality, and the seller is also willing to make a concession for town water hookup, available at the buyer's choice. The barn does feature a generator hookup for added convenience. The property's potential is truly remarkable, featuring mature maple trees, rose of Sharon, milkweed, pine, cedar, wild rose, forsythia bushes, fir trees, and wild, rambling edible berry bushes. This ecologically healing space is a haven for birds, bees, and homesteaders, making it perfect for green thumbs eager to teach their families about the benefits of healthy soil and natural habitat. Whether you envision a quaint farm or a charming country retreat, this property brims with possibilities. Recent updates—newer windows, a brand-new oil burner and water heater, plus a 200-amp electrical upgrade—ensure modern comforts and peace of mind for the future owner. Convenient to Rail Trail access.
