Property Description

OPEN HOUSE, SUNDAY 10/1 12-2 hosted by Genevieve Geaney of The Clement, Brooks & Safier Team. This special home features a Wonderfully tranquil Location close to Woodstock’s best amenities, yet off the traveled way, and tucked above it all. Convenience with quiet country charm (in a setting to inspire artistic creation, or soothing relaxation) highlight this charming Woodstock Artist's ranch home. Once the residence of well- known Woodstock artist, Franklin Drake (1929-2001) and occupied till this year by his widow, Ruth M. Drake. The Drakes, during their occupancy, acquired what was then a separate, contiguous parcel, with a meadow, below their initial 3+ acres, to make 7.08 acres now being offered. It is possible, depending on the zoning, to have a separate parcel by subdivision, or perhaps to build a second, new home in this very desirable location. The c.1960s home features 2 bedrooms and one and one half bathrooms. There is additionally a very roomy, heated enclosed sunroom, not counted in the square footage. It is approximately 250 square feet and has wonderful vistas. There is also a 25x24 walk-out to grade, full unfinished basement room with a second wood burning fireplace, and concrete floor. The oak floors on the main level add a warm touch, as does the brick wood burning fireplace. The bathrooms and kitchen are largely original to the house. There is additionally, a covered porch at the front of the house, ideal for enjoying the views of both meadows. There is a circular driveway to the front porch and the double attached garage. A permanent generator in this rural location adds a good bit of peace of mind.
