Headed home to Woodstock STORY AND PHOTOS

BY ANTHONY MORGANO

s the countdown to Woodstock’s 50th anniversary continues, a Bethel property previously owned by Max Yasgur is on the market. Included in the property is 149 acres of land, a small house built in the 1940s, a larger house built in 2004, and a barn. The property is hidden at the end of a private dead end road.

Turning off of Route 17B and down a dirt road opens up into a beautiful farm property. When driving towards the large house, fields previously used for farming will catch your eye on the

left, as well as driveable paths leading towards other sections of the property.

There is a beautiful mix of woods and open fields, as well as a small stream that traverses the land.

The land was purchased from Yasgur in 1980 by John Dolce, a former police commissioner in White Plains, where he met Sam Yasgur, Max’s son. Dolce passed away in 2012, leaving the property to his daughter.

The larger, contemporary house is approximately 3,000 square feet and includes soaring ceilings, a fireplace and lots of glass windows overlooking the fields. The larger house has three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a CONTINUED ON PAGE 4H

There are many little treasures within the property too, including an old farm cemetery and a tree-lined walking path. The cemetery is along one of the many paths on the property, just down a hill that the larger house overlooks. A stone wall enclosing the cemetery compliments the wooded surroundings. The treelined path is wide enough for vehicles to drive down, but the view and soft ground makes it perfect for walking or jogging in a serene environment.

The scenic land is situated right across the street from Yasgur’s personal homestead.

Rent or buy?

APRIL, 2019

Sullivan County listed 7th best place to own a home

BY PATRICIO ROBAYO

any people deal with the dilemma of whether to rent or buy a home. According to Carol Malek of Malek Properties on 17B in White Lake, it is better to buy a home if you plan to stay in an area for a while.

“In my opinion, it is much better to buy a home rather than rent one,” said Malek.

Owning your own home offers a lot of advantages according to Malek, which includes pride of ownership, security, and the opportunity to earn equity and even possible income.

“With home ownership, there comes a lot of responsibilities,” said Malek.

“It’s one of the largest purchases most people make in their lifetime, but if you are smart about it, and have a plan, it can be extremely rewarding.”

If you rent—depending on your lease—the cost of living in the apartment can go up from year to year, unlike a mortgage which can be locked in the long term.

M

Owning a home is an investment and an item that can be an asset and can provide you financial stability.

A home can grow in value over many years and is something that can be passed on to your children or family.

During tax season, your home can help you with deductions and help you get a bigger refund.

Property taxes, accounting costs, and mortgage interest you pay can be tax deductible.

Whether to rent or buy is an issue most face when looking for a home.

LEARNING

“Often times a primary residence comes with an opportunity for an accessory apartment, or if it is a second home, you may not use it that often,” said Malek.

Malek said that a homeowner can open up other potential avenues of income such as a year-round rental or the very popular short term rentals, such as Airbnb.

“We actually have many buyer clients looking to purchase simply because they can earn money from the short term rental when they are not using the home,” said Malek.

If you want to make changes to your home if you rent, you would have to ask permission to make any significant changes.

“When the home is yours you are free to improve as you deem necessary or as you desire,” said Malek. “A rental will always belong to someone else, and although may be maintained by the landlord, most tenants do not wish to improve someone else's property. You can landscape as you wish, design the interior completely to your tastes and

Babyproofing to the max

BY REBECA C. RIVERA

T

Parents are notorious for being worry-warts and stress daily about protecting their children from the dangers of the outside world. However, many times, parents underestimate the hazards that their child faces in their home. The Center of Disease Control reports that between 2000 and 2006, “On average, 12,175 children 0 to 19 years of age died each year in the United States from an unintentional injury.” And such a number would cause any parent to panic. As an expecting parent,

each day I think about all of the things that I have to do to prepare myself and my home for our new arrival. And as the list grows longer each day, it is comforting to know that there are several steps we can take to ensure that young children are safe at home.

Cabinets and appliances with doors should be thoroughly secured closed at all times by using as a latch or lock that adheres via suction or screw.

These items can be found at an array of local stores; however, even using a sturdy rubber band can help keep a

curious child from accessing household items. Anything that opens and closes need to be protected as well like toilets and double-door closets, the latter of which can be secured with seat locks and the former with an inverted hanger. Doorknobs can also be covered with locks that prevent children from turning them or with a plastic bowl with a cover that has been sliced to fit the knob. To prevent children from locking themselves in or out of a room or closet, use a rubber band that is looped around both knobs (inside and outside) to hold down the lock’s latch.

sight, out of mind,” meaning that they should be stored in clearly labeled containers and placed out of reach.

Never leave liquids unattended on the ground and opened. Many products have changed their products container tops to have safety caps that require pressure and turning to open, but it is best to practice tightly closing each container after use.

Toddlers and young children are tiny explorers who like to poke and prod their environment to learn and discover what new places lay ahead for them.

Therefore, it is crucial to cover holes that would encourage them to stick their fingers or other objects into. For instance, all outlets, especially low lying ones, should be covered with plastic outlet covers. Parents may even choose the path of simplicity by using strong duct tape, band-aids, or even the plastic covers commonly found on baby wiper containers and packages.

Other areas that they may explore are staircases and fireplaces, and installing gates are a great preventive step to take. All gates should be tightly secured to a wall and be sure to check that it reaches the floor because small children love to crawl and wiggle their way into the tiniest of places. Further-

more, consider creating a barrier between a fireplace or woodstove and your child be using an unneeded crib bumper or a mush pit of inner tubing.

Another use for inner tubing is wrapping the corners of tables or furniture with sharp edges.

Sometimes children get themselves in inconceivable messes, such as unraveling an entire package of toilet paper rolls in under five minutes or emptying a container of flour on your newly cleaned kitchen floors. Although these moments are cute and memorable, it is important to remember the children are also capable of attempting feats that shock even the most experienced parent. For instance, climbing a 5-foot dresser or leaping off of a large piece of furniture. To help prevent serious injuries, heavy and large furniture, such as dresses and bookcases, should be anchored to the wall as soon as pos-

sible. Additionally, for parents with tiny climbers, all items on said pieces should also be secured. For bookcases, consider using inner tubing or tension rods to prevent curious hands from pulling out books or objects. For dresses, use sidelocks, or place a sturdy broad through the handles.

Unfortunately, we cannot place our children in a bubble to protect them 24/7, and even if we babyproof our homes from top to bottom, there is no real guarantee that they will not injure or hurt themselves. What we can do, however, is to raise our children vigilantly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; never leave a small child alone in a room without adequate supervision. Additionally, we should never blame ourselves or the child for not knowing better, as neither one can predict that something terrible may happen. As a new parent, I always remind myself to take deep breaths and to enjoy the time spent at home without worrying, and all parents should do the same.

The rental half of this family compound is about 2,800 square feet, making it slightly larger than the main house. The large open floor plan and custom-designed kitchen are flanked on each side by a living room and a den or family space. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms are upstairs ensuring

no one has to wait in the morning. The Buddenhagens have been renting the other house for about six years, but it could just as easily be used as a guesthouse for when family comes to visit during the holidays.

This garage was remodeled in 2005 to form a guest or rental house with a large open floor plan.

Michelle Buddenhagen did extensive renovations and converted their bay garage into another house.

As soon as you walk through the front door of the main house you get the feeling of being at home again. Glassplated French doors lead you from the living room to the dining room, where newly installed Pella windows both fill

the room with natural light and offer scenic views of the lake. Off the dining room, the kitchen features custom maple cabinetry, quartz countertops and a kitchen island. Three bedrooms, one of which is converted into a home office, are all located on the first floor.

The master bedroom contains an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet.

There’s oak flooring in many of the rooms and electric heat will keep you
