This property in Churchtown is a perfect retreat for groups of friends, two families, or a family with parents in tow. The home sits on 10 acres on a quiet country road and features a very private, heated in-ground pool and two separate properties: a restored three bedroom 1830s farmhouse and a converted two bedroom barn.
The main farmhouse retains much of its original detail, but has been completely updated to include central air conditioning, full-house generator, fully updated heating, new bathrooms and kitchen, and excellent Wifi.
A formal living room with original fireplace gets stunning light and overlooks the manicured garden. A spacious dining room opens up to a patio with a propane BBQ and outdoor seating. The chef's kitchen has everything you need to whip up the perfect meal, and off the kitchen is a cozy den / TV room and a full bathroom with a shower.
Upstairs are the three bedrooms (one king, one queen, one twin), an office nook and another full bathroom, all thoughtfully decorated in a modern farmhouse style.
20 meters or so from the main house gets you to the newly-built barn, which features reclaimed beams taken from the original barn that had been there before. The barn is decorated in a Scandinavian style and centers around an open-plan second floor space with high ceilings and windows on all four sides. This ensures the space is flooded with light throughout the day.
The barn includes a queen size bed, a spacious seating area and a dining table + kitchenette that was hand-built using original barn wood. A full bath with a skylight to watch the night skies completes the upstairs space. Downstairs is the fifth bedroom, with a queen bed and a built-in desk made from original barn wood. Please note that the only bathroom for the barn is upstairs, and the entire second floor is open floor-plan .
The 10 acre property is situated on a sloping lot. An English style garden with beautiful perennials frames the front of the main house and is bordered by rolling lawns. An enchanting stone staircase leads up to the extremely private, heated in-ground pool that gets the sun throughout the day and has breathtaking views of the Catskills (just wait for the sunsets!). The pool area includes a pool house with a refrigerator, half bathroom and an outdoor shower (hot and cold water). A large deck with sofas, loungers and an outdoor dining table completes the picture!
