This bankside Rhinebeck modern cottage embodies the picturesque setting and the picture-perfect interior. It showcases comfort, style, and the locale. Upon entering the front door, you will be drawn to the screened-in porch across from the entrance, where you overlook the beautiful Landsman Kill meandering through the woods and a mini campsite by the stream. Imagine your family and friends making s'mores over a campfire on a summer night. The creek is stocked every year with the trout, and you can go fishing! Next to the porch is an extended deck, partially covered. Together, the outdoor living space runs the whole length of the back side of the house. It is high up, feeling like a treehouse, a perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, an intimate conversation, or to watch the changing seasons. On the inside, the common area is wide open. The stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the smooth flow of the living area, dining area, and kitchen. Here, the details matter. Beautiful hardwood floors, elegant crown moldings, custom window treatments, custom cabinetry, copper sink, and stainless steel appliances, to name a few. This space is warm and cozy, excellent for gatherings of family and friends. The two bedrooms are tucked away at the end of the house. One of them is an en-suite with a half bath. The basement is fully finished with the utilities carefully hidden, adding another family space, and has great potential. The front yard was thoughtfully created and is dotted with fruit trees, evergreen trees, and perennials. A stretch of arborvitaes provides privacy. The backyard slopes to the creek, which is private and low maintenance. Since 2016, this home has undergone a total transformation. Upgrades are more than meets the eye: new septic tank and leach field, new well pump, restored wood-shingle sidings, new deck, new two-car garage, to name a few. Just one mile from the village close to all that the village has to offer. If you are looking for something well-designed and well-cared for and if water speaks to you, come for a visit. It could be a place you call home.
