Come and discover this 3+ bedroom country cottage minutes from the Ashokan reservoir. Loving owners transformed the home to create easy living and open spaces to enjoy the changing patterns of the Catskill sunlight reflecting the forests and waters that are the Hudson Valley landscape. Step inside and easily be captivated by the inviting interior combining timeless country charm with contemporary finishes. The open floor plan creates a fluid living space perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying quality time with loved ones. The kitchen is a chef's delight with its stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and custom cabinetry. Opposite the kitchen on the front side of the home, you'll find the sunny enclosed porch that overlooks the yard and its surroundings in the tranquil country neighborhood setting. The once-front porch is currently a playroom but could be your perfect bright office, art space, or more. A bedroom and full bathroom on the first floor offer one-story living and separation from the two second-story bedrooms. Additionally, there is the first-floor "bonus" room currently used as a home office- in yesteryear, it most likely was a bedroom. The primary suite is the home's true sanctuary. It offers a peaceful haven for relaxation as one feels like they are up in the clouds! The spacious layout is enhanced with cathedral ceilings highlighting the sturdy wooden beams set off against the white room. There is a large closet and original wide pine board floors. The adjacent bathroom offers a tub and shower with stylish gold fixtures and clean, modern tile work. The second upstairs bedroom is generously sized and provides comfort and privacy for family members or guests. Then, step outside to discover your serene outdoor oasis. The landscaped backyard has mature birch trees and offers ample space for outdoor activities. The sculpted fire pit beckons to have BBQ or roast marshmallows and is delightful for dining al fresco under the stars. There is enough room for a home garden, even beloved chickens or smaller farm animals. There is a newly completed one-car garage/workshop. One might choose to transform it into a studio, storage, or workout space. This building was constructed with LP smart siding that helps resist moisture, fungus, and pests. All this located in the desirable town of Olivebridge, 15 minutes from the historical town of Stone Ridge and 20 minutes from the towns of Woodstock, Accord, and Kerhokson. Nearby, you'll find various outdoor recreational opportunities, including the famed Ashokan Reservoir, Arrowood Farms, Westwind Orchard, and the Rail Trail and Inness Resort and members club. This turnkey property has had many updates in the recent past, including spray foam insulation, new wiring, 200 amp electric service, plumbing, windows, a metal roof, a septic tank, and a leach field.

This incredible home is the end result of months of work by a high-end builder and a jeweler, who have turned their eye (at least in part!) to renovations. You can feel the design sense, the incredible attention to detail, and how well it was all executed in every corner of this 1930s home. Located on a quiet country road in the desirable and beautiful hamlet of Olivebridge, the home itself has been transformed into a Goldilocks-style luxury - where everything feels like just the right size. The open kitchen/dining/living room, leading out to a windowed porch, has a stunning kitchen with plenty of room and light to truly enjoy cooking. The master bedroom upstairs now has cathedral ceilings and a large closet to go with the refinished original extra-wide hardwood floors. A full bathroom has been added downstairs, creating the possibility of ground-floor living. Of course the home has also been updated in less visible ways that should decrease the cost of maintaining the property for years: spray foam insulation, new wiring, new 200 amp electric service, new plumbing, new windows, and a brand-new metal roof, On top of all of this, the owners bought the lot next door (at 6 Birch Knoll) to protect the views; it is being included in this sale and represents 3 acres of the total. It is a fully separate deeded lot, where a mobile home had been, including 100 amp electric, septic, and well. The next owners can explore building a guest house, studio, or even a second home to keep or sell. The owners are currently installing a new septic tank and leach field, to be completed prior to closing. Note: taxes and assessment are for both properties, 216 Sheldon Hill and 6 Birch Knoll.
