Like a new car, there is nothing like a new home. From the new-home scent to everything being shiny, fresh, and untouched by any previous owner. Add that this well-built new home is located close to Saratoga Lake, Saratoga Springs, the Hudson River, and the Vermont border. Spectacular sitting porches soak in the surrounding countryside, rich with agriculture, thoroughbred horse farms, and idyllic ponds. The privacy provided by the size of the property and the surrounding nature allows for fabulous outdoor relaxation on the expansive back porch. Every window opens to the same rural, private view. The unique open floor plan is rife with upgrades - Luxury Vinyl flooring throughout, custom trim work, built-ins, a cozy gas fireplace, and a dedicated home office that works as hard as the rest of the home. The open-concept kitchen is a showpiece, featuring a custom island, granite countertops, a gas range, a custom wood range hood, a tile backsplash, and a spacious butler's pantry that makes entertaining effortless. The primary bath stuns with a custom-tiled shower and oversized soaking tub, while the convenient laundry room with a utility sink adds everyday practicality. Outside, a covered porch with Douglas fir ceilings, Trex decking, and a covered carport extend the living space beautifully. The insulated and finished garage is prepped for a propane heater and ready for year-round use. The walk-out basement includes existing hookups for an additional bathroom, setting up the next owner to expand the footprint whenever the time is right. Municipal water, a private septic system, Diamond Kote siding, and luxury vinyl flooring complete a build where nothing has been overlooked and nothing has been left to chance.
