"Now and then it’s good to pause in the pursuit of happiness and just be happy" - Guillaume Apollinaire

A tasteful rendering of form and function. So often attempted but rarely achieved can be found in this 1890’s Andes schoolhouse. Its cottage-like exterior belies the charm of the interior. A casual atmosphere has been achieved, almost Shaker in theory that embraces the virtue of no lost space. It is sun-filled, vibrant and artistically appealing. A wide and welcoming open covered porch leads to an inviting living room with cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, sleeping loft, and wood stove warmth. It forms the heart of the house. The two-story overshoot barn with a huge open floor space affords unlimited possibilities for the creative soul. The lower level would be ideal for the potter, woodworker or sculptor.

French doors enclose a guest bedroom/library. A wall of sliding glass doors with individual divided lights leads to the master bedroom with vaulted ceiling. The full bath with pedestal sink is finished with traditional wainscoting, and a state of the art LG washer/dryer. An eat-in-kitchen with tile countertops, new stainless steel “silent “ LG dishwasher, LP range, and under counter refrigerator. A rear entrance leads to the deck and an exterior dining room that is provided by a pergola/ arbor, which allows you to engage the surrounding perennial gardens, specimen plantings, stonewalls, age-old lilacs, a lush verdant lawn. There are currant and berry bushes, an herb garden plus an arbor of climatized Concord grapes

Amenities include a cool and refreshing pond, towering maples, willows and pines.

This home and studio is nestled idyllically on 6+ acres of fields, gentle woods and it has extensive frontage on a year-round steam with a dramatic waterfall. Reap the benefits of living on a town maintained dirt road. Enjoy life to the fullest.
