Set less than a mile from the buzzing business district of Livingston Manor, Brookside is a compelling marriage of character and convenience. The gracious good looks of an early 20th century farmhouse, paired with the coziness of a woodsy cabin make this home a crowdpleaser for anyone looking for something a little "country." Set back from the road on a picturesque one-acre parcel, with Cattail brook's ever-present hush the primary soundtrack, Brookside beautifully balances the privacy of a country house with the convenience of a house in town. Entering through a dramatic three season sun room, a proper entryway with storage closets sets the tone. Rich, warm and cozy is the vibe of the day and it is pervasive throughout the home. A large eat-in kitchen with picture window overlooking the side yard is a wonderful place for a morning coffee, or turn on your propane fireplace and cozy up in the wood-clad living room. The living room offers direct access to both the sun room as well as a sun deck overlooking the brook below. One full bathroom as well as a sunny office space complete the ground floor. You could always expand the bedroom count to six by utilizing the office downstairs as a small bedroom if capacity is a priority! Upstairs there are five more bedrooms. All can fit at least a full bed, and the largest two could support King mattresses if so desired. Currently, one of the bedrooms is in use as a walk in closet - a worthy way to utilize all the space this house provides! There is a shared full bathroom upstairs with clawfoot tub, and character to spare. The partially finished basement offers a large and flexible bonus space currently set up as a gym. An art studio, media room, play room, or pretty much anything you can think up would all be great uses of this space. Outside, an expansive and level yard surround the home with mature evergreens, and fruit trees. A new fence is mostly in place for a dog run or garden. Plenty of room to roam but not too much to maintain - like most things with this home, a welcome balance. Brookside would make a wonderful full time or part-time home with plenty of room to host. With its high bedroom count and access to Livingston Manor it is also an intriguing investment property. Upward Brewery is a couple minute walk, with Main St. proper just a few minutes further down the road. Enjoy the best of town and country at Brookside. Reach out and schedule your showing!
