Today, Upstater is visiting a c.1996 Cape Cod-style home in Glen Spey that has tons of room for a busy family. The exterior exudes farmhouse vibes in a red, white, and blue palette.<\/p>\n\n
Stripped logs are bathed in red paint and stand on end to support the front porch roof of this home. Railings have flat boards engraved with tree-shaped cutouts.<\/p>\n\n
A bluestone floor and a wide brick fireplace amp up the already rustic ethos of the home (as do the deer mounts).<\/p>\n\n
At the end of the hall is the kitchen. The carved-tree railings on the porch follow their way inside, translated onto natural wood in the center stairwell that’s supported by stripped-bark logs. The listing doesn’t do it justice\u2014especially since there’s no image of the original 1921 Barstow wood\/gas combo stove. But a little sleuthing uncovered a virtual tour<\/a> that lets us soak in every inch of this interesting home, including that lovely range.<\/p>\n\n On the other side of the stairwell, the dining room is living large, with a floor-to-ceiling bow window at the far end.<\/p>\n\n Rustic details abound here, from wood-plank walls to a bricked wall at the top of the stairs.<\/p>\n\n Upstairs are four bedrooms. This one has a rustic wood floor and gray walls, with a ceiling beam bisecting the angled ceiling.<\/p>\n\n It’s actually an L-shaped room, with tons more space for a dressing table and clothing storage.<\/p>\n\n This bath is in a leafy green tone, with wood flooring.<\/p>\n\n It’s got white tiling in the shower area, and a door to a bedroom.<\/p>\n\n Angled aqua walls accent a center window that doubles as a headboard. The floors, again, are a lovely wood.<\/p>\n\n That wood goes to the ceiling and covers a door in the primary bedroom. Light sage along one wall and a white shiplap treatment behind the bed break up all of that wood.<\/p>\n\n Four long casement windows and an arched top window frame a verdant view. There’s a walk-in cedar closet that’s visible in the virtual tour.<\/p>\n\n The primary ensuite bathroom is fun, tucked under a skylighted, slanted, wooden wall.<\/p>\n\n The shower stall (and adjacent other stall\u2014we’re guessing maybe a sauna?) is fronted with faux stone.<\/p>\n\n The 2,400-square-foot home sits on four acres.<\/p>\n\n There’s a 30-foot round above-ground pool next to a pavilion. Beyond that is a 26-foot camper, equipped with electricity and water, for overflow guests.<\/p>\n\n If the two-car attached garage isn’t enough, this two-story, three-bay detached garage should fit the bill.<\/p>\n As expected in these parts, there are lots of hiking trails nearby. For a real treat, wake up before dawn and hit the Rio Reservoir<\/a>, an eight-minute drive. Turbines in the dam inadvertently chop traveling fish into bite-sized bits that eagles go crazy for. One winter’s day, a visitor spotted 37(!) mature and juvenile bald and golden eagles there.<\/p>\n
