Location, location, location! Placed beautifully among mature trees and rolling hills on 2 private acres, this thoughtfully designed and built by John Witt home in Stillwater delivers the kind of setting that's increasingly hard to find this close to Saratoga Springs. Award-winning Schuylerville schools and a location surrounded by significantly higher-priced properties make this one of the area's most compelling values. Inside, cathedral ceilings and an open concept kitchen and living room create a bright, airy gathering space anchored by a fireplace that adds warmth and character in every season. A first floor primary bedroom makes everyday living effortless, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. The screened porch extends the living space outside and offers a peaceful retreat no matter the time of year. The lower level offers finished space for relaxing or working out, a partial workshop area, ample unfinished storage, and egress to the 2-car garage -- a layout that works as hard as the rest of the home. A whole house generator adds the kind of peace of mind that's hard to put a price on. Minutes to Saratoga that feels a million miles away in a rural setting - this location and home has the best of both worlds.
