"Meadow Springs"
This charming summer cottage, situated on 4.54± acres, is secluded at the edge of a peaceful meadow on the east side of Keene Valley. It has excellent views of Porter and Blueberry
Mountains. Built in the late 1940's, featuring a cozy natural wood interior and divided light windows, the home's design is unique because the sleeping quarters
are connected to the living/dining and kitchen by a 42' exterior covered porch. Two of the six bedrooms are reached directly from the porch. Four more bedrooms
and a screened porch are housed in a unit accessed at the far end of the porch. There are lovely gardens surrounding the cottage. A large carport and parking
area has been sited to keep cars out of view from the house.
A path from the driveway leads to a 21' x 22' living room. Large windows on three sides show off the views. Cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, built-in bookcases and a handsome brick fireplace add to the ambiance. The eat-in kitchen adjoins on the east. It has windows near the dining area and over the sink. There are built in cabinets and shelves, a refrigerator, 4 burner electric stove, clothes washer and dryer, a hot water tank and a heating unit to add warmth on those chilly evenings. South from the kitchen is a storage room (formerly a bedroom) and full bath with Dutch doors exiting to the connecting porch. The connecting porch faces the views and overlooks the meadow. The screened porch, stretching across the south end of the unit, provides a very private and attractive gathering place for family and friends. It has views of the side lawn shaded by a variety of deciduous trees. The four bedroom unit is divided by a hallway, with three bedrooms and a bath on the east and the master bedroom with a bath across the hall on the west. All rooms have cathedral ceilings, pine floors and walls. Each of the bedrooms and baths has electric baseboard heat. The 21' x 12' master bedroom has meadow and mountain views through large divided glass windows.
