2917 Route 44 55

Set under the gaze of Millbrook Mountain, an iconic cliff face of the Shawangunk ridge, this freshly renovated 1951 brick cape sits back from the road on 2.7 acres of land, with the Marakill stream running along the rear property line. New picture windows take in the views from the front of the home, overlooking the long half-circle driveway and the ridge beyond. Deep hued mineral masonry paint has made the brick exterior like new, while selective tree work and landscaping has enhanced views and provided privacy. Indoors you find refinished wood floors, fully renovated bathrooms with modern styling, and a renovated kitchen with premium cabinets and drawers, butcher block countertops and open shelving. The mid-century aesthetic is playful and welcoming in common areas, and peaceful and toned down in the bedrooms. The layout is ideal, with a first floor bedroom, office, and full bathroom with tub and laundry nook, all tucked away off a hall that opens to the living and dining areas. Off the dining room, the sunny kitchen has its own entrance from the driveway and a private patio. Upstairs there are two nicely sized bedrooms and a shared full bathroom with walk-in shower. For comfort and efficiency the home has been outfitted with mini splits for A/C and insulated with open cell spray foam. Other updates include new electric service, whole house water filter, and new interior and exterior lighting. The backyard is level and perfect for games, gardens, etc, and a mowed path leads down to the stream that runs between the property and the neighboring farm fields, a peaceful place to sit and dream. This home is located a stone's throw from world-class climbing and hiking at Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park, and the Gardiner community's generous offerings of yoga, farm stand produce, locally baked bread, and artisanal wine and spirits are at your fingertips.
