This private sanctuary, blending seamlessly into the Catskill Park landscape, beckons those seeking solitude and a genuine connection with nature. This thoughtfully updated 1940s wooden home offers a rare chance to own an unspoiled parcel of Livingston Manor's rich history and breathtaking natural beauty.
Step into a 1940s Catskills vernacular gem exuding rustic warmth and understated elegance. Vintage character and thoughtful modern touches abound over 1,215 square feet of wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and 6-over-6 windows that flood the rooms with natural light, evoking the timeless appeal of mountain living.
Enter into the kitchen, where you’ll find a new GE gas range, twin under-the-counter refrigerators, a farmer's sink, and an original wood burning stove and stone hearth that effortlessly complements the great room's warm, rustic ambiance. Just off the kitchen is the full bathroom, which boasts high ceilings and a walk-in shower. Down the hall that leads to the exterior patio you’ll also find the large main floor bedroom. Upstairs, a comfortable second queen bedroom awaits.
The soaring great room serves as this home’s heart, with its soaring cathedral ceilings and stunning stone corner fireplace providing a lodge-like ambiance. Exposed beams soar above, framing a space easily big enough to serve seamlessly as a living room and a dining room, with space for a day bed for extra guests. Built-in shelving and cabinets provide plenty of storage, and the cabinetry also cleverly conceals modern necessities like the Samsung washer and dryer. Original wood floors and wood paneling, a stained glass window, and a huge window seat all add timeless, distinctive character, creating an inviting retreat from the outside world.
This home marries historical charm with modern comforts. Recent updates, such as spray foam insulation, a whole-house generator, and a mini-split unit ensure a cozy retreat year-round, and reflect the house’s perfect blend of vintage appeal and modern comforts — including high-speed Spectrum internet. Two stone patios, a private creekside trail, a platform deck by the swimming pond, and recently reinforced driveway embankment invite you to savor the outdoors. The clapboard siding, which was cut and milled on-site when the house was built in 1940, and stone veneer chimney details hint at the hand-crafted attention this house received from the start.
Unwind with 40 wooded acres of private Catskills paradise, yours to explore and enjoy. Deciduous and pine clustered woods make up the surrounding forest, with the home nestled in a clearing at the top of a small hill. Mature fruit trees dot the backyard, along with a fire pit, and a completely private stone patio — serene spots to connect with nature. There are two sheds for storing tools and firewood. Let your imagination guide you as you explore the plethora of possibilities across this 40-acre canvas. Plus! A gas generator, set up to kick in automatically in the event of a power outage — for uninterrupted tranquility when the rugged upstate weather rears its head.
Mine Brook, a seasonal creek, meanders through the property, next to a private hiking trail that leads to a large 0.5 acre swimming pond hidden among the trees ten minutes walk from the house. Its spring-fed waters beckon from a platform deck, for easy water access and lounging.
