A little house with a lot of soul. Set on a quiet village street in the heart of Philmont, this charming two-bedroom home makes thoughtful use of every inch of its compact footprint. Inside, warm wood ceilings, exposed beams and brick, a wood stove and an open kitchen and living area give the house a relaxed, creative character. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light, while the simple, unfussy interiors feel both rustic and modern. Outside, the fenced backyard is a surprisingly private little oasis, with established plantings, room to garden and dine outdoors and a sweet detached studio/workspace with French doors,a perfect spot for art, writing, yoga or simply getting away from the house. All of this is tucked into the historic village of Philmont, close to Main Street, Summit Lake and the natural beauty of High Falls Conservation Area. High Falls offers 53 acres and trails along Agawamuck Creek to Columbia County's highest waterfall, while nearby Summit Lake offers fishing, kayaking and canoeing. Small in scale but big on warmth and personality, 4 Summit Street is an inviting Hudson Valley home base with a wonderful balance of village life, outdoor space and access to nature.
