712 Cold Spring Road, Stanford, NY 12581

Imagine taking a ride on a cool crisp day in the fall on a country road or a sunny hot summer day. Any time of the year would be welcoming. Next imagine taking a turn off this country road which takes you up a long driveway to see this hidden farmhouse style property that you will want to call home. It is in a secluded spot, not isolated, that backs up to the forest. Nothing left to be done except sit on an expansive deck and watch the leaves falling to the ground. If you are ambitious how about a hike or walk around the grounds? You have never seen anything like this most commonly referred to as a bi-level, raised ranch or bilonial. This is something the owner created and I'd like to call it just The Perfect Country Escape.Right off the Taconic, this hidden gem is about 90 min from NYC, 15 min from Rhinebeck and less to the Culinary Institute. That's a clue that Dutchess County has access to professional trained chefs and Hudson River View restaurants. That's a combo you can live with. You're close to Metro North Trains so no difficulty in getting to NYC. If you work from home, you are going to enjoy the peace and quiet you won't find in a village or attached house setting. Sitting on 3.67 acres you have an oversized 2 car garage that fits a huge truck. The basement is mostly finished and walkout from opposite ends. It has a den or flex space which can accommodate additional overnight guests and a full family room on the opposite end of the garage. The laundry room is in the same level so there is room to add another bath without having to rearrange plumbing. The upper level is home to the kitchen made of wishes and dreams with doors to an oversized deck. The right side is mostly open and the left being the layout for three bedrooms. The primary is of course with its own bath. This is a 2516 sq.ft. home so you have room to accommodate a larger family.Recent upgrades include a well pump 2 years ago, new front door 3 years, new garage doors with openers 1-year, new lighting fixtures in kitchen and entry, new bow window in living room and appliances 4 years.Come see the Perfect Country Escape with low taxes and say yes to this location!
