Tucked into two wooded acres in the town of Saugerties, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom home pairs warm, rustic character with thoughtful modern updates. Surrounded by a scenic woodland setting and just a short drive from the village, it offers easy access to the best of Saugerties, Woodstock and the surrounding Catskills. A generous rocking-chair front porch leads into the formal entry, while a convenient side entrance opens to a patterned-tile mudroom with built-in storage. Inside, the inviting living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a newer insert. Behind a rustic barn door, the well-designed laundry room provides overhead storage and a dedicated folding station. Even the first-floor powder room makes an impression, with rich Twinberry-red wainscoting and graphic black-and-white tile. The spacious eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, built-in pantry and open shelving. Oversized windows frame the surrounding woods, while a sun-filled reading nook creates an intimate place to settle in with a book or morning coffee. Sliding glass doors open to an expansive back deck made for outdoor dining, entertaining and evenings around the firepit beneath the trees. Upstairs, a bright front bedroom also works beautifully as a home office. A second guest room easily accommodates a queen-sized bed, and both share an updated hall bathroom. The spacious primary suite offers room for a king-sized bed and includes a private bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and vanity. Mini-split systems provide efficient heating and cooling, while Nest cameras and smart locks add everyday convenience. An attached one-car garage connects to the basement and crawl space, providing additional storage and workshop potential. With a manageable yard surrounded by mature trees, the property offers a true sense of upstate living without sacrificing proximity to town. Nearby, enjoy coffee at Josie's, dinner at Salt & Fire, kayaking along the Esopus Creek and spa days at Diamond Mills. The home is also conveniently located for access to the New York State Thruway, hiking, skiing, shopping and dining throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills--and is approximately 100 miles from the George Washington Bridge. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, weekend escape or potential short-term rental, this turnkey Saugerties home offers character, convenience and effortless upstate living.
