66 Fiddlehead Lane, Austerlitz

If you would like an Upstate country get-a-way for the a entire season for the sake of privacy or for an entire year to write a novel or entertain guests around a pond with a canoe but need contemporary surroundings for convenience, then our Fiddlehead Lane listing, just south of the lovely little Spencertown NY hamlet, is perfect for you. The proximity and privacy of this compound is unmistakable, within driving distance of New York City, Boston and all the Hudson Valley and Berkshire attractions.

Fiddlehead, this 4 bedroom 3.5 bathroom 3500 square foot home, is named after the unique little fern forest that the private road to this location affords. Ducking into the quarter mile long driveway from the sun soaked afternoon has a calming effect and the serene nature of the surroundings becomes apparent.

The residence is expansive yet incredibly comfortable and full of light and dark making every nook playful and more interesting as the day progresses. The four bedrooms are all generous in proportion created with extreme comfort in mind with two of the options en suite both upstairs and down. The open kitchen overlooking the living room is a meaningful invitation to relax by a large hearth. Exposed post and beams and the elevated ceiling height soothes soul for anyone who wants to escape the tight confines of the city. The furniture is both stylish and comfortable, hearkening chalet vibes of Nordic sensibilities with gorgeous textures. It's perfect for a lie down to read the NYT or the WSJ in actual print. The main event centers around an impressive stone fireplace overlooking the outdoor one acre pond with daisies in full bloom. Come for a summer and stay for the Fall leaf peeping extravaganza.
