457 Swart Hill Road , Amsterdam, NY 12010(Montgomery County)

Sitting at the crest of a gentle hill on a peaceful country road is this immaculate 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom split-level ranch with numerous updates in the last year. The property features a fireplace, pellet stove, views, two sheds and a small barn. The paved driveway leads gently uphill to the house, which sits on an expansive lawn framed by large mature northern spruce trees. Set back nearly 250’ off the road, the location of the house is very private. The house faces south and overlooks several duck ponds in the neighborhood, along with fields and pastures across the road. Excellent landscaping with hardscape brick pavers and retaining walls are complemented by beautiful gardens and flowers. The 2-car garage is spotless and provides ample space for parking or storage. The first floor features a bright and spacious family room with a pellet stove, which complements the primary heat provided by the oil-burning furnace. There is a three-quarter bathroom that was completely remodeled last summer with a beautiful custom tile shower, new lights, vanity and flooring. A large 4th bedroom could be used for an office or workout room. The laundry room and mechanical room complete the first floor. New flooring, paint and trim on the first floor were just completed last fall. The open stairs lead to the second floor and a large primary living room with a fireplace. The kitchen was just refinished and updates include a new window, faucet and granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a nice-sized island with room to sit. The dining area is framed by a large window that overlooks the backyard. Hardwood maple floors are present throughout the kitchen, dining room and hallways. Three bedrooms and a large main bathroom complete the second floor. If the power goes out, don’t worry, the house is set up with an on-demand Generac Generator. Other updates from the past fall include brand-new front and rear doors and new exterior lights on the house. Tall, mature northern spruce trees frame the private backyard. Gather at the picnic table for barbecues or to simply enjoy the peace and quiet. Plenty of room for a garden, and the shed could easily be converted for chickens or other animals. There is a small pole barn-style building (with power) for storing lawnmowers and other equipment. The pole barn could also be used for horses, goats or sheep. Over 390’ of road frontage on Swart Hill Road. The terrain slopes uphill gently from the road to the house with a slight elevation gain; the rest of the property is flat. The house is being subdivided from a larger parcel, but more acreage is available for those looking for more space for farming, hunting and recreation. The additional 25+/- acres (being sold separately) consists of open tillable acreage, which gets mowed each year. In total, there are four separate fields that could be used for pasture. Hedgerows mark the boundaries between each field, and large mature Red Oak trees provide acorns in a good mast crop year, which are consumed by deer, turkey and other wildlife. The additional acreage also features 385’ of road frontage on Tourneau Road. Set in an idyllic country setting, this property has plenty of space for the hobby farmer or horse enthusiast alike. Just 6.2 miles to Amsterdam with access to I-90. Contact me today for more information or to schedule your own private showing.
