This sweet 1930’s cottage sits overlooking a historic textile mill with sounds of the reservoir heard throughout the house. The property is large and private-- wander up a pathway through the garden, past the maple trees to find Summit Lake, where one can go paddle a canoe or fish. You’ll find a raspberry patch, fruit trees, perennial gardens, stone pathways and a patio for enjoying al fresco dinners. The 3BD 2BA home underwent a full renovation completed in 2022 by esteemed CB Design / Build, when all of the systems were upgraded such as new plumbing and electric, mechanicals, a new roof, copper gutters, the list goes on. A new dine-in kitchen was installed with burnt maple countertops, a farmhouse sink and a Wolf range, it anchors this main living space where you’ll find a wood burning stove with a comfy seating area, two bedrooms, one being used as a WFH office, and a bath tucked off to the side. On the upper level the ceilings are vaulted and a wall of windows offers beautiful views of the neighboring historic mill. A loft sleeping area accessed by a library ladder, is perched above the second floor living space, which converts into a home theater. A full bath with a soaking tub completes the second floor. Sliding glass doors open onto the porch and overlook the gardens and the lake beyond. A short walk takes you into the village where you’ll find restaurants, a food coop, post office, and a library. And a short drive brings you to the High Falls conservation area, skiing at Catamount, Hawthorne Valley Farm Store and Waldorf School, Hudson & Amtrak. And once you become a villager, you get private access to a pristine secret lake, less than 10 min away. Just 2.5h to NYC, you are a world away.
