Wisteria Cottage conveys a magical aura of both history and whimsy. This two-story cottage on Netherwood Road was built in the 1860s and, though updated in important ways, maintains the style and charm of its origins. Beamed white walls combine pleasingly with the warm glow of original wide board floors and the cozy charm of dormer ceilings. On the first floor, a wide open dine-in kitchen features charcoal-gray appliances including a six-burner chef's stove and a stylishly streamlined Undermount sink. The living room is warmed by a wood stove and the light that streams through a large picture window. The flagstone hearth in the first-floor primary bedroom has an inset wood stove, and the painted plank ceiling and several large windows add to the hideaway coziness of this space. The bedroom and adjoining bath both have hand-hewn beams adding to their vintage flair, while the bathroom is also conveniently updated with subway tiles, heated towel racks, and a modern glass-enclosed shower. Two snug second floor bedrooms share a hall bath with deep soaking tub and adjoining dressing room. The over an acre property surrounding the cedar-sided Wisteria Cottage is dotted with several outbuildings, including two run-in sheds and a barn/garage that also has workshop and studio space as well as a one-bedroom guest apartment with brand new bathroom. This slice of history is the pinnacle of comfort and convenience with modern updates that include Nest smart thermostats, repointed chimneys, and new well pump, water heater, boiler, septic, and roof. Set amidst the pastoral beauty of Dutchess County, it is just a short drive on country roads to the hamlet of Salt Point and within easy reach of Rhinebeck and Millbrook. © 2023 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
