OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED FOR 10/2 & 10/4 .
Galway - 4BR/2.5BA/2car on 1.63 acres surrounded by 100's of acres of undeveloped land/water view.
A refined Saratoga-area country retreat with modern rustic character. Set along a quiet country road near farms and open land, this distinctive home offers the calm, privacy and characters buyers seek - without sacrificing proximity to Saratoga. The flexible layout includes a desirable first-floor primary bedroom suite, offering a convenient single-level living while still providing additional bedrooms and living space upstairs. Wide-plank flooring, abundant natural light, a Jotul propane fireplace, a custom open staircase & surrounding undeveloped acreage create a serene, preserve-like setting with warmth and personality. With multiple bedrooms, a first-floor office/library/flexible bonus space and a partially finished basement, the home works equally well for everyday living, guests, remote work or multigenerational needs. It is a distinctive Saratoga county property with privacy, space, and a layout that is increasingly hard to find.
