5137 Crooked St

Some homes are simply lived in. This one is felt. Set on 5 private, wooded acres along the banks of the North Chuctanunda Creek, this lovingly cared-for Cape Cod invites you to slow down, breathe, and remember what home is supposed to feel like. Mornings here sound like moving water and birdsong. Evenings end beside the fieldstone fireplace or gathered around the fire circle beneath a canopy of stars, the day melting away. Inside, 2,214 square feet unfold with warmth and character. A gourmet, eat-in kitchen anchors the home with rich cherry cabinetry, granite counters, and space made for gathering. Beamed accents, crown molding, and sun-filled rooms carry you through four generous bedrooms, including a private primary retreat with a walk-in closet. Two full baths and main-level laundry keep everyday life effortless. Step outside and this property reveals why it is truly one of a kind. A composite deck and thoughtful landscaping frame the setting, while a 20x30 barn, complete with a garage and workshop, offers endless possibility for hobbies, storage, and projects. Follow the winding path down to the creek, where a pair of Adirondack chairs waits at the water's edge for morning coffee or quiet conversation. Tucked among the trees sits a charming guest cabin overlooking the creek, an inspiring spot for an art studio, a writer's escape, or a quiet retreat all your own. A drilled well and low-maintenance systems mean this country sanctuary is as practical as it is beautiful. All of it rests within the Broadalbin-Perth school district, just two miles to Galway Lake and ten to the shores of the Great Sacandaga, with Saratoga's dining and culture an easy drive away, yet a world entirely apart. This is more than a house. It is a place to put down roots, to trade noise for nature and hurry for peace. Homes with this much soul and this much land do not come along often. Come feel it for yourself, and imagine the life waiting here.
