20 Berkshire Drive, Ballston Spa, New 2020

The morning light on front porch first where coffee tastes best and the neighborhood is still quiet. The home has that solid, modern-Colonial feel to it: two proper stories, classic, and incredibly spacious.

When you step inside the front door, you’re greeted by the open flow of the main floor. To one side sits the dedicated office, a quiet sanctuary for remote work or reading. It has an adjoining door directly into the first-floor full bathroom, complete with a stand-up shower. When family comes to visit for the holidays, shut the main hallway door, and suddenly they have their own private, main-level guest suite.

By afternoon, life usually migrates to the back. The back deck is perfect for slipping off your shoes after grilling or checking on the yard. If you’re coming home from errands, you pull into the oversized garage—which has plenty of room for 2 cars, bikes, and a workbench—and head inside.

Upstairs, the home transitions into a private sanctuary. Here, you’ll find the four dedicated bedrooms and the remaining two full baths. It’s the perfect layout: all the sleeping quarters are tucked away on the second floor, leaving the main level entirely for living, working, and entertaining. The highlight of the second floor is the primary suite, which feels grand and airy with its vaulted ceilings, a generous walk-in closet, and a private bath featuring both a soaking tub and a stand-up shower.

But the real hidden gem of the house is down below. The full basement features unusually high ceilings and two large windows that let in actual daylight. It even features an additional, handy staircase leading straight up into the garage, making it incredibly easy to move heavy storage or workshop gear in and out without tracking dirt through the home. Because the builders already installed a grinder pump, you often find yourself looking down there and planning: a home theater, a gym, or another bedroom suite would be so easy to finish. It’s a home that effortlessly handles the daily routine while leaving plenty of room to grow.
