Take a stroll on a bucolic country road at any moment right out the front door. The beauty of this snug cottage is the big, open country setting on nearly an acre, with farmland to the east and north, and to the west spectacular winter sunsets over the Catskills. Comfortably modernized with hardwood floors and in the living room a place for a wood or pellet stove ready made, the interior is now freshly painted. From the dining/family room, a deck catches the eastern sun. Master bedroom upstairs offers a refuge. Beyond the stone wall in back, the second parcel (in Washington) provides a wooded buffer. Just north of the Millbrook Winery, with Millbrook schools and post office, this very manageable property is a rare offering.,ROOF:Asphalt Shingles,Level 1 Desc:LR, DEN, FR/DR, KIT, MUDROOM/LAUNDRY, BR, BATH,Level 2 Desc:MBR,Unfinished Square Feet:450,Basement:Garage Access,InteriorFeatures:Beamed Ceilings,FOUNDATION:Block,Below Grnd Sq Feet:450,AboveGrade:1240
