3612 Highway Route 20

Nine minutes to the Carrot Barn. Everything else you need is already here. There's plenty of parking when friends come over, and inviting stone steps lead up to the side entrance and porch. Inside this darling three-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cape Cod, hardwood floors run throughout from the large living room to the updated kitchen. A first-floor bedroom and first-floor laundry room keep everyday living on one level. And with a brand-new boiler, this winter is already taken care of. Then step outside. The home sits on 0.6 acres with a huge yard and a large stamped concrete patio, ready for summer cookouts and clear fall nights spent stargazing. This is Schoharie Valley living: farm stands, the Old Stone Fort Museum in the village of Schoharie, underground tours at Howe Caverns and Secret Caverns, and the hike up Vroman's Nose, where the view stretches across farmland once called America's breadbasket. And when you need the city, Route 20 takes you straight into Albany in about 45 minutes. Come see it while the leaves are still turning!
