Every Room Has A View in This Hudson Valley Home

Imagine enjoying your morning coffee, or happy hour cocktail, with this as your view…

That’s just one of the views from a house that I recently listed in Gallatin, NY. It’s a Colonial style home that was built in 2007. The 2.25 acre property features panoramic views, and the house is situated at the top of a hill so the views span around the house, from the front to the back yard.

This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house features a two story foyer with wrap around staircase, living room, dining room, and great room with open floor plan kitchen/family room. The large master suite has two walk-in closets and a large bathroom with soaker tub, separate shower, and two sinks.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The house is located in the southern section of Columbia County, so it’s less than two hours from New York City. It’s also just a bike ride away from Lake Taghkanic State Park, and just a few minutes drive to Hudson and Red Hook

The house is offered at $269,000. If you’d like to see it in person, email me at Jmckinney@BeachandBartolo.com.
