58 Townsend Rd Ext, Bovina, NY 13740

Description

Tucked away at the end of a secluded, town-maintained road only minutes from the desirable hamlet of Bovina, this two-bedroom, one-bath cabin blends artisan craftsmanship with modern efficiency. Hand-built in 2005 by its original owners, hand-hewn woodwork interiors and beautiful wood flooring are anchored by an ornate custom-carved mezzanine space with built-in book shelves. Perfect as an office space or cozy reading library and the entry point to the two light filled bedrooms.

A large, efficient Morsø wood stove serves as the centerpiece of the open-plan living space. The full kitchen has a large antique cast iron butlers sink, electric stove top and oven, a dining table and nook surrounded by windows, and a spacious living room also heated by a powerful Monitor propane heating system. The bathroom features an antique clawfoot tub made for deep winter soaking, while an outdoor shower makes summer evenings feel even longer. Modern efficiencies include a tankless on-demand hot water system, and fully insulated Thermopane windows.

Outside, the five-acre property features a spring-fed pond, a mix of cleared and wooded land, and absolute mountain-top serenity. A wide, covered porch offers an outdoor living area perfect for dining, yoga or afternoon lounging. Plus a concrete hot tub foundation and wood burning stove and pipe are already in place, all that's needed is the cedar tub for relaxing hot baths under the stars.

Designed for low-maintenance living, the cabin is wrapped in cedar shingles, has a durable metal roof, an attached utility shed for storage, a poured concrete crawl space also with ample storage, and low-cost co-op electric.
