25 Hodge Rd., Franklin, NY, 13775

Near town but in the country! The Hillside Farmhouse is a bright, well-kept home with big views, a level yard, and a big garage. A mile outside the arts village of Franklin, it is a comfortable combination of old house charm and a pinch of mid century modern cabin vibe. The original house has hardwood floors, in the living room and office/downstairs bedroom (currently with wet bar), laminate in the dining room and eat-in, freshly painted kitchen. Two rooms have closets, meaning easy potential conversion to main floor bedrooms. Wall to wall carpet in the family room addition, which has glass french doors and a deck to bring in the views. Three bedrooms (one currently used as a dressing room) and full bath with jacuzzi tub up. The master is a cozy, private getaway that is freshly painted. Newer windows, updated electric and propane heat. All appliances are less than five years old. The two plus car detached garage has a 10 year old roof, while house roof is approx 17 years old. Both cable and high speed fiber optic available. The hardware/underground piping for an outdoor wood furnace are still in place and capped, including connection to hot water, and the pad is still outside, but the wood furnace has been removed. The pressure tank is two years old, there's a water softener and filter. An old stone wall marks your northern boundary on the one acre partially fenced yard. There are mature trees, a row of burning bushes, a rose garden, and bluestone patios. The corner location enjoys western valley views, with long hill and meadow views to the south.
