Property Description
Nestled in the heart of the Catskills, just 2 hours north of New York City, this timeless post & beam country home awaits. On 10 private acres, this 4 BR/4BA has elegant simplicity, with a flowing open interior, 3 floors of living space, an abundance of natural light, and idyllic country views from every room. Hand-hewn beams, wide-plank wood floors, and a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace warm the open spaces. Anchored by a welcoming formal entry and a gracious central stairway, the floorplan is ideal for entertaining. The living room, with its fieldstone fireplace, is surrounded on 3 sides by screened-in porches, and a bluestone patio (& swing!), perfect for morning coffees and alfresco dinners. The kitchen is a modern chef’s dream, with touches of country charm. There’s a large butcher block island with prep sink, 36” gas range, soapstone countertops, classic farm sink, undercounter beverage cooler, large pantry, and even an imported woodstove with baking capabilities. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with double vanity, elegant clawfoot tub and separate glass shower. A sampling of the myriad features in this custom home include: Library/office room, family room with soaring ceiling, 2 large bonus rooms, media room, exercise room, additional office, 2 laundry rooms, mudroom w/radiant floors, an automatic back-up generator, solar panels and geothermal systems. There’s an attached 2-car garage, and plans for an inground saline pool have been completed. The property is ideally situated: 30 minutes to skiing at Hunter or Belleayre and minutes from Woodstock, Kingston, and Phoenicia with the Ashokan Reservoir and incredible hiking trails just down the road. Your Catskills hideaway awaits.
