2075 Platte Clove RD Elka Park, NY 12427

This historic 1890 home was the original Platte Clove schoolhouse! Over time it's evolved into a charming home set back off the road with landscaped grounds and a stunning view of Indian Head Mountain to enjoy right from your front deck. Enter the house through a delightful sun room with original hardwood floors that leads into a large living area featuring a stone fireplace with wood pellet stove ready to provide warmth and a cozy ambiance on winter nights. Tall partly-vaulted ceilings on the first floor offer an airiness to this already spacious home that has room for everyone - a first floor office could easily be used as a fourth bedroom. The dining area has sliding glass doors leading on to a deck behind the house for outside dining. The light-filled second floor features beautiful hardwood floors throughout. Two large bedrooms with spacious closets (the third bedroom is on the first floor) are separated by a large bright full bathroom. A full dry basement offers plenty of additional storage, a washer and dryer area and lots of room for your tools and hobbies. Two red barn sheds towards the back of the property are in excellent condition. A small pond draws plenty of wildlife. There are mature blueberry bushes to enjoy while the large lawn area all around the house provides plenty of open space to enjoy. A small vegetable garden could be revitalized! Hikers will love how close this property is to the best trails the area has to offer: Indian Trail Head, Sugar Loaf and more. Skiers are only 10 minutes from Hunter Mountain and 20 minutes from Windham Mountain, making this a 4-season Airbnb opportunity.
