The Church is located in the town of Coxsackie, New York. I have neighbors to the north and across the street. When many people think of "country homes", many think of country and land. I had shared a house in Hillsdale, NY for a few years and here's what I know about land. It's one more thing you have to take care of... and it ate into my precious time on the weekends. The Church has approximately .10 acre of land and it's all garden. For me, it's much more fun and peaceful to weed than to mow. I also am not much of a country girl so being in town, able to walk to the library, the post office and the coffee shop and waving to other human beings while doing so comforts me. And the town has a bar, complete with pool table, dart board, jukebox and pickled eggs for all my friends who need a drink.
My best friend and realtor, Deb Parker, first showed me The Church in March. As we walked through the simple yet mighty 20' x 60' with 20' ceilings, I could see myself there. When we got to the back of the church and opened the sliding glass doors onto the 20' x 18' deck with a partial view of the Hudson River, I was pretty much sold. And that's how the process to buy it began.
