54 Hillside West Shokan, NY 12494

Looking for that special location where every day feels like a vacation? This incredible hillside home is nestled between the mountains on a dead-end road with beauty out every window. The wraparound deck will be one of your favorite spots to enjoy the mountain views while relaxing or entertaining guests. The property provides serenity and a wonderful sense of privacy with plenty of trees, yet also offers an open sunny area for a garden or the kids to play. There are beautiful white birch trees growing along the hillside as your backdrop. The house has a perfect blend of open spaces with a great flow, yet has a very cozy feeling. The living room contains a cathedral ceiling along with a sliding glass door which gives the open and airy style most people crave plus a charming fireplace with bluestone hearth and pine surround and also a large ceiling beam which adds just the right touch of unique character and warmth. Another nice feature is that the upstairs overlooks the living room below and there is an open loft space with window which can be used in a variety of ways: it would make a great reading nook, a place to do yoga or for the kids to play a board game. The wide plank wood floors throughout the upstairs are gorgeous, warm and full of character. The kitchen has plenty of cabinetry and counter space with a spacious peninsula lined with bar stools and it's open to the spacious dining area with a super charming light fixture.. and, there's those views again! The main floor also contains a half bath, a separate laundry closet and a bedroom currently used as a den but could also be a great office space depending on your lifestyle. And there's more, yes, the downstairs-lower level is finished with three rooms accessed by interior and exterior entrances! There are several pristine mountain streams in the area, plus it's just a short distance down the road from the town park with pavilion, basketball court and town swimming pool; a great place to meet friends and enjoy the local community. Also, only a couple of miles to the Ashokan Rail Trail where you can stroll or bike along the banks of the reservoir and take in the beautiful scenery. All this less than 30 minutes from NYS Thruway Exit 19 - Kingston. This house, property and location is a MUST SEE....it checks all the boxes!
