Nestled on a serene countryside landscape, this charming property is like living in a park within a park. This picturesque residence captures the essence of comfortable living while offering a timeless aesthetic that seamlessly blends with its surroundings. The exterior of the home is accented by contrasting shuttered windows, creating a sense of warmth and character while the sun drenched breezeway captures the same warmth. Inside this beautiful and well maintained home you'll find a large living area with a fireplace that opens to a back deck. There is a study just off the living room offering extra privacy and comfort. The large eat-in kitchen w/ views through a bay window add a touch of nature and natural light to the area and also serves as a cozy nook for seating or perhaps a breakfast table. Adding to the great layout and convenience of this home, the washer and dryer are located in a closet in the kitchen. A formal dining room adjacent to the kitchen provides a designated space for hosting more elaborate meals and gatherings. Just off the dining room is a spacious and bright sun room that offers views to the gardens and backyard. Upstairs you will find a well appointed primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet and ensuite with a double vanity. One of the upstairs bedrooms is currently being used as an office but can easily be turned back to a bedroom. The large walk out basement offers generous space for entertainment, hobbies and storage. Outside and just off the living room is a private deck with an outdoor shower and cold water bath. There is a trail to walk and ponder your day and a glamping spot with a 24 x 32 Adirondack shed in the meadow with a large fire pit that is perfect for overnight guests and entertaining. This home offers a retreat-like feel, yet is still close to local amenities and services in the heart of Saranac. * SELLERS ARE OFFERING A $4,500.00 CREDIT AT CLOSING TOWARD UPDATED FLOORING.
