171 Sackett Street, Port Ewen, NY 12466

Just a stone's throw from Kingston, you'll find a perfect retreat at this sweet cottage, nestled among mature trees, on a sunny hillside facing the Hudson River in Port Ewen. The house is airy and well planned with 13 windows to let in light and serene views of roof tops and the river with its majestic cliffs. The layout lives larger than the size might suggest, allowing for an L-shaped couch with other furniture in the living room, a sizable dining table and desk, and a king-sized bed, should these be your wish list items for living and lounging. You'll also enjoy an easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle on the cozy front porch and grassy, extra large yard. This sun-filled lot offers excellent opportunity for cultivating vegetables, fruit trees, pollinator gardens, herbs and other sun-loving plants or for simply lounging in the hammock and watching the birds and ships go by. The functional carport provides protection from the elements and also an attractive structural component around which to expand the landscaping, if you like.171 Sackett St was built in 1890 and fully renovated in 2019 with a craftsperson's eye for special details and historic preservation. Highlights include the original wide pine floors & exposed beams, loft-like bedroom, newer mini splits for heating and cooling, new kitchen appliances and washer/dryer-in-one, radiant heating in bathroom floor, as well as a brand new propane cast iron fireplace for ambience and a robust secondary heat source, independent of electric.  The small basement is tidy and dry as a bone with newer mechanicals (2024).  Nothing needs to be done here - just move right in, enjoy the care this home has clearly been given, and then dream into its next chapter.
