Bright and charming 1889 cottage located among the most popular towns in the area would make a fantastic primary home or weekend getaway! The layout here is pretty unique with an open main floor in which the living area, dining, and kitchen all flow into each other around a central staircase which includes a half bath. The main floor is surrounded by windows which make the space especially light and bright. The living and dining areas open out to a lovely covered porch while the kitchen opens out to a back deck that leads to the back yard. A wood-burning fireplace in the living room will keep everyone warm and cozy in the winter. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bathroom. A finished walk-out basement adds an additional level with so much potential to be used as an office or guest space with its own entrance. Centrally located in Tillson, this home enjoys easy access to restaurants, shops, and farmers markets in Rosendale (4 min), High Falls (8 min), Stone Ridge and New Paltz (10 min), Kingston (15 min), and Accord (18 min) as well as hiking and outdoor activities at Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve (25 min), and just under 90 minutes to NYC.
