Just moments from the heart of Woodstock, this thoughtfully sited property on 1.5 acres offers exceptional privacy and the ease of one-level living. Set back from the road and enveloped by nature, the home exudes a sense of calm from the moment you step through the front door. Built in 1955, this cedar-sided ranch has the subtle mid-century sensibility and sun-drenched interiors. The home feels instantly welcoming. Original hardwood floors, rich with patina, run throughout, lending character and continuity to the space. The open-plan living and dining area is both stylish and inviting—ideal for lingering dinners or quiet evenings by the fireplace, gazing out at the serene mountain view. The kitchen, just off the dining area, features charming vintage cabinetry. Cheerful and functional, it opens directly onto what may become your favorite spot in the house: a screened-in back porch nestled among the trees. This elevated perch feels like a treehouse retreat—perfect for morning coffee accompanied by birdsong as dusk settles in. In summer, it could easily double as a breezy home office. You'll find three peaceful bedrooms and a full bath, along with the comfort of central air conditioning. A staircase off the kitchen leads to a versatile space with its own entrance—over 300 square feet currently used as a home office, but equally suited for a guest suite, studio, or private retreat. This space features a full bathroom and provides access to the attached garage, which can accommodate up to two cars. Beautifully maintained and move-in ready, this home offers the rare combination of seclusion and convenience—just minutes to the village of Woodstock and the NYC bus line. A truly special offering, in the heart of Woodstock.

A few short moments from the Village of Woodstock you'll find this very special property. It is tucked away and privately sited. One-level living at its best. Light and bright, the house has a very welcoming feel from the moment you walk in the front door. With its mid-century vibe there's a very familiar, comforting feel in the house. There are beautiful hardwood floors throughout with a lovely patina. The open floor plan blends the living room with the dining room, which feels so comfortable and invites long leisurely meals. Enjoy time relaxing on the sofa while gazing out the window at your exquisite mountain view. So peaceful. The kitchen is off the dining room; its vintage, original cabinets are painted white and, yes, it's another room in this house that is bright and cheery. The door off the kitchen leads to my favorite space: a charming screened-in porch on the back part of the house that gives you a feeling of being in a tree-house. Start your day off with a cup of coffee out there and listen to the birds welcoming a new day. Of course, a glass of wine in the evening would also be nice to enjoy out there. I love having a screened porch, especially in summer, when it can become my summer office. A stairway from the kitchen leads to a bonus space with separate entrance: an additional 300+ square feet (currently the owner's office), used as a Pilates studio by the previous owner. It would be a great en suite or light and cheery guest space with a beautiful, full bathroom. Off it is a garage which could possibly hold 2 cars. Back on the main floor there are 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Add to that recently installed central A/C. This is the perfect house on so many levels: move-in condition, well-maintained, private, yet close to the village of Woodstock and the bus route from the city. Truly a pleasure to show. This one won't last long.

Blue Bell Cottage sits atop a hill on the edge of town. This 1950's cedar sided ranch with open flow living/dining area, cozy fireplace and a picture window with all year view of Overlook Mountain is what so many buyers want today. Close to town and walking distance to the elementary school and playground as well as the Millstream, this home works equally well for weekenders or full-time residents. Quiet privacy, garden and woods also make it suitable for a bed and breakfast investment.
