On a quite country road in Southern Dutchess County sits a charming log home built in 1983 overlooking a babbling brook surrounded by lightly wooded hardwood trees consisting of 7.61 acres backing up the Appalachian Walking Trails. As you enter the home your breath is taken away by the elevated vaulted ceilings and Adirondack feel of the interior. This home has an open floor concept giving the buyer a feel of spaciousness, appreciation of exposed woodwork and beautiful beams. The home is very well insulated with recently installed fuel-efficient mini split systems 24 BTU in great room (2021) and a 12 BTU in basement-workshop (2022), backed up by baseboard heat and a woodstove.
