8665 Kinderhook Rd

When I first visited this property, I parked my car and walked slowly toward the upper end of the driveway. I stopped in my tracks, completely taken in by what was in front of me. To my right was a beautiful pond reflecting the afternoon light. Straight ahead, mature woods framed the horizon. Around me were meticulously manicured gardens bursting with color and character. Slightly to my left sat an artist’s “she shed,” tucked perfectly into the landscape like it had always belonged there.
Then I turned around and looked at the house. The owner was standing there smiling, and she told me that almost everyone who visits this property stops in that exact same spot and simply takes it all in, just as I had. After experiencing it myself, I understood immediately why.
This is a beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home. Set on 0.80 private acres. This 1500 square foot home feels less like a typical property and more like a peaceful retreat designed for creativity, relaxation, and connection with nature. Abundant natural light pours through the windows and brings the outdoors in. The wood-burning stove adds warmth, charm, and a sense of comfort that immediately makes the home feel lived in and loved.
The kitchen and living areas flow comfortably together, creating spaces that feel intimate without being small. The bedrooms are peaceful and quiet, and the primary bedroom offers direct access to one of the home’s two rear decks.
The outdoor spaces are what truly make this property unforgettable. And then there is the detached finished “she shed” artist studio — a creative retreat that could serve as an art studio, entertaining space, reading room, yoga space, or simply a private sanctuary away from the world.
A full basement provides excellent storage and offers potential for additional finished space if desired.
Some homes are simply houses. Others create a feeling the moment you arrive. This property is an oasis of tranquility, an artist’s dream, and a place where nearly everyone who visits pauses for a moment just to take it all in. Public record only shows Sq. Ft of the first floor. Approximately 500 additional sq. ft. of living space on second floor.
