79 E Hook Cross Road

On a quite country road in Southern Dutchess County sits a charming log home built in 1983 overlooking a babbling brook surrounded by lightly wooded hardwood trees consisting of 7.61 acres backing up the Appalachian Walking Trails. As you enter the home your breath is taken away by the elevated vaulted ceilings and Adirondack feel of the interior. This home has an open floor concept giving the buyer a feel of spaciousness, appreciation of exposed woodwork and beautiful beams. The home is very well insulated with recently installed fuel-efficient mini split systems 24 BTU in great room (2021) and a 12 BTU in basement-workshop (2022), backed up by baseboard heat and a woodstove. The main floor has 2 bedrooms, full bath, great room, kitchen, and dining area with a door to the outside patio. Upstairs is a large loft with 8' ceilings (room for a bath), overlooking the great room. Downstairs is a large workshop (room for a bath), and a walk out garage. Roof replaced 2019, front porch replaced 2019, back deck pressure washed, sanded, and sealed to preserve. Inside loft railing replaced with beautiful hand custom worked posts 2021. The setting is private, yet so convenient to I84, Taconic State Parkway, Metro North, local farms, shopping, and schools. This magnificent log home is a rare offering because of its sturdiness and charm with the bonus of large private acreage in Southern Dutchess County.
