A Sweet Cottage in Austerlitz: All the Thomas Kincade vibes, minus the cheesiness.

  |  February 20, 2025

This sweet, cedar-shingled cottage in Austerlitz just feels like home.

Set in the woods of Columbia County, it’s a rambler of a home, with three bedrooms and two baths on eight-plus acres. Blue trim pops against the deep brown exterior.

The foyer sets the tone, with russet walls and stairs leading to sliders out the back.

Walk into a bright, woodsy living room with a huge wall of windows.

A woodstove cozies up the space.

For more coziness, venture into the family room, where a rock fireplace awaits.

A spiral staircase heads up to the top floor, but don’t climb it yet. And yes, there’s a bar in a side room for those days where you just don’t wanna go out.

The dining room has big, beautiful, mullioned sliders out to the back deck—try to avoid inadvertently kicking the baseboard heat on your way out.

The kitchen adjoins the family room. It’s a U-shaped nook with a two-seater breakfast bar.

A skylight brightens the dark-toned cabinetry and granite counters.

Just off the family room is this bright white bathroom. It’s got a tub/shower alcove with glass doors, and a wide, marble-topped vanity with a stellar picture window view.

The main-floor bedroom’s got a beauty of a view, too. High ceilings add loftiness to the space.

A walk-in closet/dressing room is a plus.

And there’s an adjoining room that’s perfect for an office or nursery.

The second bathroom isn’t as dazzling as the first, but it’s in good condition with a granite-topped white vanity and a glass corner shower.

Those spiral stairs lead to this bright, fully carpeted bedroom.

Built-in closets flank a dormered reading nook.

The house sits on 8.1 acres, backing up to a hill.

A two-car attached garage is very welcome in the winter.

East of Hudson, it’s about six miles to downtown Chatham and a brew or two at Chatham Brewing.
