This enchanting Woodstock abode has a story dating back to 1875; first as a barn for the neighboring property and then as a dance studio. In the 1940's it was converted to this rare barn-style home that honors Woodstock's artistic vision and singularity. Meticulously updated over the years while preserving its vintage allure. Quirky yet gracious with an open vaulted great room anchored by a striking, and expansive, brick fireplace that spans one entire length of the living room and exudes warmth and craftsmanship. The remodeled kitchen and dining area are linked by an island/breakfast bar with windows above the sink and a door out for a friendly BBQ. The easy connectivity and open space features sturdy Post & Beam construction that elevates and excites. Yes, there's a first-floor bedroom, with a separate entrance allowing it flexibility to also serve as an in-home office or professional studio. Just off the 1st floor hallway is a serene screened porch overlooking a meandering stream and exquisite wooded landscape. A convenient downstairs half-bath completes the first floor where entertaining and distinctive living manifests, surrounded by an acre of land. In the midst of this unique home is another exceptional design element: an exhilarating spiral staircase. Wind your way up to the unexpected! A primary bedroom, with its wall of shuttered windows, shares space a few steps below with a third bedroom and full bathroom. Additional steps lead to what was once the hayloft. This whimsical room beckons your creativity, and could be a sanctuary for artists, poets, writers, or anyone with an imaginative pursuit. (Currently serves as a yoga studio.) Thoughtful upgrades ensure comfort and energy efficiency with new insulation added in the walls, new mini-splits for heating and cooling, and a remodeled kitchen and baths. Nestled back from the road amidst trees and hedges of forsythia and a bluestone walkway leading from ample parking. Invite friends or create a world of quiet contemplation. A sweet garden shed in the rear provides extra storage space or a place to keep gardening equipment. Super convenient, just minutes to Woodstock Village (and the NYC bus) and 15 minutes to Uptown Kingston. Additionally, this home boasts low Hurley taxes. Less than a mile from the famous Maverick Concert Hall (a 1915 outdoor band shell), this one-of-a-kind property offers a blend of historical charm and up to date comfort, ready for you to ''MOVE RIGHT IN AND ENJOY!''. Such a pleasure to see and show. © 2024 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
