692 County Route 2 , Elizaville, NY 12571

Tucked in a quiet Hudson Valley hamlet, 90 miles from NYC, a storybook cottage-fully rebuilt for modern living you will find this once forgotten gem that has been lovingly polished, restored and renovated with so much attention to detail. Butternut Cottage is an 1800s-era home, thoughtfully restored and named for the 250-year-old Butternut Tree on its grounds. At the center of this storybook property stands a 250-year-old butternut tree-giving Butternut Cottage its name and timeless sense of place. The aesthetics preserved include wide board floors that flow throughout the home, authentic doors and hardware as well as the hand-hewn beams that exemplify our forefather's craftmanship. The welcoming entryway/mudroom accommodates a petite powder room with laundry and accesses the spacious Living room which can accommodate a formal Dining table and is flooded with natural light from large windows overlooking a bucolic back yard with seasonal views of the famous Rojan trout stream. An optional Jotul woodstove keeps one toasty on chilly days. The spacious Kitchen is ultra-modern but blends beautifully with the old-time charm with tasteful finishes and pallets. A Dining nook has a lovely window perfect for birdwatching. The Primary Bedroom is on the main level and has a gorgeous ensuite with soaking tub, oversized tiled shower, spa style finishes and eclectic touches. A fabulous skylight illuminates the space. On the second level there are two comfortable Bedrooms, one features a slider to a private deck which is perfect for star gazing or sunbathing. The second 3-piece Bath features classy fixtures and another unique skylight. The home has mechanically upgraded with new HVAC for heating and cooling, electric, hot water heater, windows, roof, deck, driveway and privacy landscaping. The well and septic fields have also been replaced. Best of both worlds! The lovely backyard has vintage shade trees but plenty of open space for gardening and play bordering forever wild land. A short stroll takes you to Red Rooster for ice cream or the new Elizaville Deli and Diner. A 10-minute drive to Taconic State Park, Red Hook, Rhinebeck Pine Plains and all the exciting offerings that make the Hudson Valley the best place to live and vacation.
