213 Canary Hill Rd, Kingston, NY 12401

Just above a wide expanse of farms lands, Canary Hill Road ascends just enough to make you feel the calm of the forest's embrace as you approach. You'll pass a farm stand on the corner and then a smattering of houses,before you come upon the sweetest little blue gray cottage nestled amongst the pines. It's hard to imagine a more welcoming space. With State Land just down the road, you can feel certain that this peacefulness will remain undisturbed. Built in 1958, it fell into disrepair over the years, until the current owner discovered it in 2014, and then lovingly over the years, improved and refined. It's been a three season escape because the Jotul woodstove has always been sufficient even in the chilliest of winters. But add some insulation and a minisplit or baseboards, and this cabin transforms into to a year-round home. Not quite tiny, but perfectly cosy, this open floor plan home has one sweet bedroom but once had two. The simple kitchen has an antique sink and custom shelving. (The antique stove isn't currently used but the sellers have been living here since March without the need for anything else but they will offer a $500 credit if you have more complicated culinary needs). Your large screened in porch with a vaulted ceiling gives you the perfect place to feel immersed in the nature hat surrounds you. And if you want to be fell even closer, there's a platform deck where the current owners barbecue and enjoy your morning coffee. Should you wish to venture forth you're a mere ten minutes to Kingston's lively music, art and restaurant scene or ten minutes to the quieter and more sedate charms of Stone Ridge or fifteen to funky, hip Woodstock or go south to New Paltz for hiking, rock-climbing and the restaurants and bookstores of a vibrant college town. This affordable getaway has super low taxes. And an extremely convenient 1.5 hour commute to the GW bridge.
