Plus, at just 1 hr 40 mins north of NYC - or 20 mins to Amtrak - it's easy to enjoy!Laid out across one level, the home has an easy flow and plenty of natural light.The living area offers a gas stove and a picture window that provides a seasonal lake view. The kitchen, which looks out into the living area, has great space and storage plus direct access to the backyard. Both bedrooms are spacious and share the home's full bath.
