5035 Route 28a,

SOLD! Like out of a dream comes the unique listing you have been waiting for all winter. This move-in ready and extremely comfortable property will appeal to those seeking something a bit extraordinary and creative in nature, yet warm and homey and very much a country house, but one with wonderful modern conveniences and amenities. Imagine a hybrid of a mountain chalet and a Mediterranean style villa with two wood burning fireplaces, gorgeous beams, Mexican tile, and a stunning heated Florida sun room that is flooded with light, thirty feet long with a balcony off of one end and entrance to the huge 28x28 feet deck off of the other. This is the seller's favorite room, where he says he feels surrounded by nature at all times, in all four seasons. The outside is truly pulled inside to this space. The chef's kitchen features brand new stainless steel appliances and a handsome large custom built tiled island that dinner guests will undoubtedly gravitate around for conversations lasting into the wee hours. Generous renovations can be found throughout the house, including the huge ensuite master bedroom with its sauna, and bathroom with steam room/shower with jets and a rain shower head. The guest bathroom was also beautifully renovated and each bathroom has radiant heat in the flooring. Heading down the custom built and beautifully crafted wooden spiral staircase (noted by this agent as unusually large and sturdy feeling for a spiral) you'll find an enormous space currently used as a rec room with pool table and bar, but this floor could easily be repurposed if you need more sleeping space or maybe even a mother-in-law, as it has its own private entrance. Also on this level are the laundry room and the entrance to the two-car garage. Outside you'll find lovely seasonal mountain views, the large deck with its fire pit and a hot tub just a few steps away. The 1.5 acre lot includes a lawn with plenty of room for a garden or pool, and a private wooded area. Boiceville is a hamlet of low tax Olive, just 20 minutes from Kingston and Exit 19 of the NY Thruway. You're also less than one mile from the wildly scenic walking, biking, jogging and dog walking mecca the Ashokan Rail Trail, 10 minutes from Phoenicia and 15 minutes from Woodstock. A mere two hours to NYC. World class hiking, fly fishing and skiing are close by, along with a lively restaurant scene. Right across the road you'll have access to thousands of acres of NYC-owned protected land that you can hike in if you obtain an (easy to get online) free permit. Two cafes are within five minutes in either direction, where you can work remotely and meet your new neighbors. Speedy cable internet provides for excellent work from home options, which is very fortunate as you may rarely wish to leave behind the comforts and natural surroundings of this marvelous home. Zillow readers please note that they have the taxes wrong in their estimated costs, they are actually $6131 total, or about $500 a month, less than. Listing Provided by: Ruth Gale Realty
