✨New to Market: Magical Averill Park Estate✨
Welcome to a truly special property where natural beauty and lasting memories come together. Peaceful pond views, spectacular sunrises, breathtaking sunsets, and exceptional privacy create an unforgettable setting. In the spring and summer, the gentle chorus of frogs fills the air, while clear nights have even revealed the Milky Way and Northern Lights from the hot tub.
Lovingly restored, renovated, & expanded in 2006, this 1800s post-and-beam cottage sits on just over 3 beautifully landscaped acres in the Averill Park School District. Set back from the road and entered through what feels like a secret garden, this custom home offers three bedrooms & three full baths in the main house. Inside, you'll find wide-plank hand-hewn oak floors, exposed posts & beams, and a bright, open floor plan designed for both comfortable everyday living & effortless entertaining. Expansive windows showcase beautiful views of the pond and surrounding gardens throughout the home.
The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, featuring European-style inset quarter-sawn oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and an oversized eat-in island—perfect for memorable gatherings. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a sunny dining area overlooking the gardens. The inviting living room is anchored by a stunning stone fireplace with a gas insert & offers tranquil pond views. Just off the living room is a private den with custom built-ins that could easily serve as a third bedroom, conveniently located beside a full first-floor bath. Just beyond the kitchen, a bright four-season sunroom overlooks the tiered gardens, providing the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, curl up w/ a good book, or simply take in the beauty of the changing seasons.
Upstairs, both generously sized bedrooms feature their own beautifully tiled en-suite baths. The primary suite includes a private balcony overlooking the backyard—an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind while watching the sunset. The second floor also offers a convenient laundry area and a versatile open space perfect for a home office.
Step outside & discover your own private retreat. The outdoor living spaces include a two-tier deck, screened porch, hot tub, water feature, picturesque pond, mature perennial gardens, greenhouse, chicken coop, sheds, & two fire pits. Tucked away in the backyard is a charming three-season guest cottage featuring an open living area, kitchenette, loft, gas stove for heat, & a tiled bath with shower & a composting toilet, as well as an outdoor shower! It's the perfect space for visiting guests, a home office, an artist's studio, or a creative retreat.
An oversized two-car garage w/ a workbench provides plenty of storage & workspace, while ample off-street parking accommodates guests with ease. Surrounded by woods for exceptional privacy, the property also borders a quiet three-season road that's ideal for walking, running, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, & enjoying the changing seasons.
Offering the perfect balance of peaceful country living and everyday convenience, this exceptional property is just minutes from Barbersville Falls & only a 30-minute commute to downtown Albany. Designed for gathering and celebrating life's special moments, this home has even hosted five weddings—a testament to its welcoming atmosphere and unforgettable setting. Whether you're entertaining, enjoying the outdoors, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, this is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind country retreat.
