Every once in a long while, there’s a property that’s totally perfect for the current moment. This is a place where you won’t have to add a thing to spend a whole lot of time at home - and that still has all of the Woodstock character, necessary updates, proximity to town, and lovely nature moments you could want. 

The house itself looks like an adorable little cottage - until you go inside and see the massively tall ceilings in the open plan living space which was once used to build sailboats back in the 1930s. The space was later converted to a home by Woodstock artists Marianne Appel and Austin Mecklem in the 1940s and the loft-like ground floor, centered around a wood-burning fireplace and framed by XL windows on three sides, seems impossibly spacious and bright. 

The top floor has four bedrooms, one with mountain views and another with a fireplace. Two full baths–one off the stair landing and one on the ground floor–give everyone plenty of space to spread out. The owners did all sorts of renovations including new engineered oak flooring, HardiePlank siding, new roof, spray foam insulation, full bathroom renovations, and radiant heated floors to name a few.

What makes this property extra special, though, is that there’s so much beyond the house itself: an in-ground pool (no waiting ‘til 2022 to take a dip!), hot tub on the deck, outdoor shower, bluestone patio, perfect little garden, and large fenced in yard with partial mountain views create incredible opportunities for outdoor living. 

A massive separate studio building with the glass garage door, additional loft space, full bathroom, heat, and electric could be used for studio space, office space, a gym, home theater, school space...or any combination of the above. 

Located just 5 minutes from the center of Woodstock, dining, shopping, hiking, and cultural events (new drive-in opening just up the road) are all close by - and this is one of the few properties where you could walk to the public Big Deep swimming hole.
