Elizaville, a hamlet of Livingston, lies just over the line separating Dutchess and Columbia Counties. This peaceful retreat with a minimalist flair will set you in the center of some of the best attractions the region has to offer. The home is set back on a long and winding driveway. As you enter the property, you’ll find a spacious three-acre lot with a mix of mature trees, an open meadow, and a small pond, fed by a trickling stream. Take some time to wander the paths around the pond and through the woods. Inside, the open-concept common spaces make Navywood a fantastic place to gather with family and friends. The home is tastefully renovated with light hardwood floors on both levels that set the tone for a motif of wood accents throughout. This bright and airy feel lends a welcoming tone to the shared spaces on the main floor: a dining table which accommodates six guests, and a comfy couch and seating looking out at the new deck (with BBQ grill) that spans the length of the home. The well-appointed kitchen has a gas range, and marble countertops and comes stocked with essential cookware and modern appliances, including all the basics you’d need for preparing a feast. Rounding out the main level are two bedrooms, both with queen-size beds, and each with individual temperature controls. These two guest rooms are separated by a renovated full bath with tub/shower and new marble floors. Downstairs, you’ll find a cozy entertainment room with a propane fireplace. Set the tone for an intimate night in as you sit by the fire, or gather with the family on the couch and tune into a favorite movie on the smart TV. The queen bedroom on this floor completes the sleeping arrangements for six guests at Navywood, and sports a desk with a monitor with an adapter for those who just have to sign on to work (but try not to.) This first floor also features a full bath with a walk-in shower and laundry facilities. An EV charger is available for guest use, with instructions provided in the guidebook.
