115 Boyce Road

On a quiet Rensselaer County country road in the town of Nassau sits a quintessential 1800’s farm house beautifully updated and lovingly cared for. Approaching the home from mowed paths through wildflower meadows and perennial gardens, brimming with year-round color, one is immediately struck by the level of craftsmanship. The DaVinci slate roof with copper gutters and flashing and detailed clapboard siding sets the stage for what one will experience room to room, inside. The newly replaced insulated windows allow an abundance of natural light into every room. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with dovetailed joinery , butcher block island, high-end appliances and stone counters. The dining room, also complete with handcrafted cabinetry is open to the kitchen. Opposite the dining room on the other side of the kitchen is the garden room with access to a stone patio and surrounded by stone walls, gardens and woodlands. The living room, with wood burning stone fireplace and built-in bookshelves, is a refuge for comfort. A generous original front foyer offers a full first floor bathroom, additional built-in bookshelves and connects to a second living/music room. Upstairs the home’s abundant storage/built-in theme continues beginning with a large landing that can easily double as a home work area, a spacious primary bedroom, three additional bedrooms and a second full bath. The almost two acres of gardens are intentional and masterfully planned with perennial and herb gardens, wildflower meadows and whimsically placed stone cairns – a haven for a variety of birds and butterfly. An established “living willow” screen set atop a stone wall and a variety of evergreen plantings provide privacy from the road. The tastefully built potting/storage shed along with a stone fire-pit are set along the edge of the woodlands at the back of the property. All-in-all, the property offers substantial privacy. True country living, and all under 30 minutes to Chatham, Albany and the Berkshires
