221 Union Center Rd, Ulster Park, NY 12487

You'll feel your body relax as you turn in at the barn and continue down the drive to the privately-sited home nestled in the trees. The peaceful setting, including a year-round stream and waterfall, is truly nature's finest The 4-5 BR, 2 bath home, built from Hemlock and Pine trees milled from the property by its talented carpenter owner, is something special. A fenced garden, several small outbuildings (one being a chicken coop with electric), a neat outdoor shower with on-demand hot water, and maple trees tapped for making maple syrup, are scattered on the property. Indoors, the welcoming, open-concept main level exudes warmth and comfort, as the living room with hand-built book cases flows to the dining room and kitchen with hand-crafted cabinets. A large covered deck with built-in bench can be accessed from sliders in the dining room or a door in the laundry room which is conveniently positioned next to the kitchen. A wide open second floor with cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, separate heat zone and multitude of storage closets would make a fantastic studio or home office (currently set up as an exercise area and family hangout space). Two additional rooms on the 2nd floor can be used as bedrooms or whatever suits your needs. Wide board floors, solid six-panel doors, recessed lighting, a wood stove, and space plumbed for a third bathroom on the second level are just a few of home's numerous amenities. More importantly than anything else is the way you feel when you're there. It doesn't get more down to earth and relaxing than this!
