My favorite Hudson Valley property right now...

I just previewed this really AMAZING home yesterday and had to get the word out for the listing agent.  This home is on almost 18 private country acres and it feels like you are in your own private park.  The house is surrounded by a small creek, (that never flooded) that winds all around your home with paths alongside and small bridges that go over it.  The inside of the house feels like a warm SOLID home that has a HUGE fireplace so you won't care when the plow guy ever shows up!  I was really surprised to see it priced at only $439,000, (I was guessing much HIGHER)!  I know this won't be on the market long, so call me so I can show it to you!  I told the agent the pictures don't do justice and she should hire a professional to capture all the extras this house has.

Two REALLY sweet AFFORDABLE properties!

The Ulster County market has so much great value right now, and things are FINALLY starting to sell!  I wanted to get the word out about two of the best priced homes listed right now, (both $140K)!

397 Joys Lane in Hurley is a well maintained and cared for brick home set back on a beautiful country road.  It's a small home, and the perfect spot for someone looking for a "close to everything" weekend place in Ulster County, without a second time job fixing something.  Take a look!

12 Delta Place in uptown Kingston is a very large FOUR bedroom home on a double city lot!  You can't find a place this large and is such great condition anyplace in Kingston!  In a terrific "walkable" (and desirable) neighborhoods, with hardwood moldings, stained glass windows, LARGE front porch, and an even bigger back deck that is perfect for entertaining!  Take a look!

Hudson Valley Summer horse life...(and a couple listings)

While Saratoga is described as "the best six weeks of Summer", Saugerties also has a major horse competition and venue as well.  HITS, (horses in the sun) is a really big annual event that brings a LOT of visitors here to the Hudson Valley, (Bruce Springsteen even came to watch his daughter compete)!  The horses mostly compete in jumping courses with the Catskill Mountains as an awesome background.  The venue also has an end of season concert and this year Michael McDonald is playing on September 9th. http://www.hitsshows.com/

I previewed a GREAT horse farm yesterday in Saugerties on TWENTY acres that is PERFECT for anyone looking for property for horses.  Here is the property...

I spend as much time as I can in Saratoga during racing season, and this year had an excuse.  I have two really great listings in Saratoga!

The first is a motel I have stayed at for years now because it's right on the backstretch and as close to the horse "action" as you can get!

The second is a restored historic building with three store fronts and two 2 bedroom upstairs apartments.  It's in Saratoga's "arts district".

This weekend is the "Travers Stakes" and I will be in saratoga all weekend and hopefully not only win big, but sell both of these great properties I've had so much "action" on during this season!  "AND they're off"!!

Two GREAT properties!

I just really wanted to get the word out about two properties on the market right now.  The first is a "short sale" in Kingston.  This is a really BIG home in Kingston and close to EVERYTHING!  It's priced at only $150,000 and will sell fast at this price!  Here is the property...

The other is listed with an agent in my office.  I have shown this property a lot and feedback has been SUPER, (I am even hoping the last couple I showed this to will bring an offer soon)!  It's in the Town of Ulster and very close to Kingston!

Most of my buyers this Summer have really been asking for "VALUE" and I think these two are the best on the market right now!

Kingston..."Brooklyn on the Hudson"...

I always love when I have clients from the city come up to look at houses in Woodstock, and after talking to them think Kingston might be a better fit.  To give them an idea of Kingston, I may have them meet in the Kingston office instead of meeting in our Woodstock office.  My Kingston office is in a very historic area and there are lots of shoppes, restaurants, and plenty of historic buildings from when this was NY’s first capitol.

Kingston has an artistic urban vibe, but you can still find, (like I did) a home that is on a dirt road and feels miles away, but is just a few minutes from EVERYTHING you need!

Kingston is not for everyone.  It’s a very diverse community where the locals really want to meet new people.  Some of my buyer clients really don’t want that, and would prefer to bring supplies and really escape for a remote weekend, (yes, I can find that also for you)!

Here is a photo log from our company Flickr page of Kingston…

Here are two of my own listings I have on right now that I feel are really the BEST this city has to offer!

I take great pride in this city, and would really love to show you around to all it has to offer, (even if you have no plans of buying property here)!

Many thanks, and have a great weekend,

(Fridays are a Realtor’s Monday)!

 

Life on the Hudson River

I live on the Hudson River and there really is no other place in the Hudson Valley I would live.  It's a lifestyle that each day brings something better all seasons.
There really is not as much property on the river as people think when they ask me to find them a "river house".
An agent in my office has this great property in Saugerties and I wanted to help him let friends and clients know about it.  Just let me know if you think this may be something you want to see, and I'll make sure to get you in to preview this.  Many thanks, and hope all is well.
