Come discover this Woodstock Broadview retreat for here is a perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort. You will know that you are experiencing life in a home that captures the essence of Woodstock's creative spirit. The four bedroom home began in the mid 1800's and was renovated in 1930 by the famous Woodstock architect, Albert Graeser. In keeping with its historical roots, a substantial and tasteful large addition took place in the 1970's by the Ebbs family who were known as local artists and ''free-thinkers''. Nestled along the picturesque hillside on one of Woodstock's best country roads, the home takes advantage of nature's bounty and yet is only 5 minutes into the heart of the village. The artistically inspired residence has a multiple array of cozy living spaces each with its own unique allure. How wonderful it is during inclement weather to emerge into a generous and well lit entry, a great country ''mud room'' with its own coat closet. The dining room and recently renovated kitchen only a few feet from here. The cozy dining room has a classic wooden cupboard built in. The bright kitchen with skylight seamlessly opens to a series of intimate gathering areas, each anchored by fireplaces that promise visual interest and ambiance. An updated half bath is easily accessible for guests while entertaining. From the inviting living room with its unique raised fireplace to the dining room and a guest bedroom, each space offers its own charm. A screened porch off the private and spacious family room offers a serene escape where summer nights are accompanied by the sounds of hooting owls and breezes blowing through the leaves. From the second story, at the top of the stairs, there is a doorway that leads one over a little bridge directly to the lawn behind the house. This is just one of the charming idiosyncrasies and fun qualities belonging to this one of a kind home. The second story has two full baths and three bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are off to one side, while the large and sizable primary bedroom appears to be two original rooms combined. Here you will find a very spacious newly remodeled bathroom!
The home extends outdoors onto stunning living spaces including two bluestone patios and a deck which provide ample opportunity for outdoor entertainment or quiet reflection.
All this sited on private lush acreage in an idyllic setting with the convenience of an ever evolving and vibrant town of Woodstock. A Better Homes and Gardens photographic article on display in the house from 1950 featured this home (prior to its addition in the 70's) and shows its great appeal back then. It has since been well loved, maintained and renovated over time making it even more of a true gem today!
