''WOODSTOCK ART COLONY'' STYLE HOME built in the 1890's with recent updates features high ceilings and two dramatic north-facing artist's windows. Located minutes from the center of Woodstock on a private lane, this 3379 sq ft estate home with 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths is perfect for a casual Woodstock lifestyle. The light-filled two-story entry leads to a sunny family room with views of the heated inground pool and bluestone terrace. It flows into an open kitchen with updated appliances and a large center island that provides plenty of prep and cooking space with room for casual gatherings, morning coffee or cocktail time. A pass through from the kitchen offers easy service to the large formal dining room which is part of the original structure and lined with warm wood paneling - inviting family and friends for festive or impromptu sit-down meals. Beyond the dining room, the vast and quite beautiful Great Room can accommodate a large crowd, offer a quiet interlude at the baby grand piano, a retreat for curling up with a book or for sky gazing through the huge artist's window. In the chilly seasons a brightly lit fireplace brings warmth and comfort to holiday gatherings and private moments. Tucked away just off the Great Room is a shelf lined office for work, study or even guest overflow. Take the staircase along another artist's window to the airy 2nd story where 4 bedrooms exude a relaxing vibe. Updated and luxuriously appointed, the primary en suite has a skylight, a huge walk-in closet and an oversized mosaic soaking tub/shower. All 3 1/2 baths have been tastefully renovated. A delightful feature is the private ''Juliet'' balcony off two of the adjacent bedrooms that overlooks the lawn and pool. The finished heated basement provides an additional 480 sq ft to serve as a den/game room/exercise space - and has its own full updated bathroom and woodstove in addition to radiator heat. This lower level with walls and floor built of stone native to the area, is a lovely transition to the outdoor hot tub and play area just beyond the walkout door. New energy efficient mini splits for cooling and heat have been installed throughout the home and energy-saving solar panels were added in 2023. Additional upgrades include: new boiler, water heater, refrigerator, double ovens, gas stove, sink, fixtures, faucets and flooring in the kitchen. All bathrooms were remodeled with new flooring, vanities, fixtures and faucets. New wood flooring replaced the hall carpeting on the second floor, new vapor barrier in the basement, a new heated inground pool surrounded by split rail fencing backed with deer wire to protect small kids and keep out critters, a new hot tub and a pellet stove in the family room. This turn-key, move-in ready home is being offered fully furnished. The previous owner hosted long term rentals during the summer months for approx. 25,000 a month and off season for 13,000-16,000 monthly. Truly a unique Woodstock property!
