About 3523 Route 212

WHIMSICAL WOODSTOCK ARTS AND CRAFTS - Live in a home steeped in history while making your own. Welcome to ''Quixote'', built in 1905 by Woodstock builder and former Artificer in the Civil War, John ''Barney'' Hoyt. Vintage character blends seamlessly with modern convenience. Original details of this 3 bedroom gem include wide plank floor boards, pressed tin ceilings, custom built-ins and a rocking chair front porch. Subsequent artistic owners have added hand-painted murals and accents, which have been kept, making Quixote the quintessential Woodstock home. The property has a lovely elegance, colorful funk, and an undeniable great vibe. Meanwhile, many recent improvements—roof, heating system, drainage system, generator—bring the home's function into the 21st Century. Every room (except the kitchen) on all 3 levels has been fully renovated to a high standard, including new or refreshed flooring and new interior paint. The living room/parlor off the eat-in country kitchen has a high pressed tin ceiling and is bathed in natural light by South and East-facing window sets. Upstairs, three restored bedrooms each showcase their own rich color palette. The 3rd floor finished attic space adds 460 square feet configured as a 2 room suite with its own half bath. Outside, lush, 100-plus year old gardens wrap the home with climbing roses, peonies, poppies, wisteria, lilacs, honeysuckle and more, ensuring something is always in bloom throughout the growing season. Sculptures are thoughtfully placed throughout. Enjoy all this in a IDEAL location. On the NYC bus route one mile from the Bearsville Post Office, gourmet Cub Market, restaurants and Bearsville Theater; 3 miles from the shops, galleries, restaurants and music venues of the one-and-only Woodstock, NY. The greater Hudson River Valley/Catskill Mountain region has all one could hope for all in one place—world class natural beauty, outdoor recreational resources, arts, culture and cuisine. It's why we live here. Now you can, too!
