Summary:
Welcome to your peaceful and private retreat nestled in the Catskill foothills. Nestled on 2.3 acres, this bright and airy three bedroom, two bathroom ranch with a full walk-out lower level offers the perfect escape. Expertly designed with modern furnishings, and surrounded by mature hardwoods and pines and picturesque stone walls, this is the perfect home base to explore nearby Kaaterskill and the Catskills Mountains.

The Space:
As you enter the home, you’ll be greeted by an inviting foyer with a skylight that provides lots of natural light. Continue through to the living room, where you’ll find the floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, complete with a wood stove insert and a bluestone hearth and mantel. The vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows flood the space with natural light and bring the scenic outdoors inside, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere day or night.

From the living room, step through the sliding glass door onto the spacious raised deck, where you can unwind, relax, and entertain family and friends surrounded by nature. Descend the exterior staircase from the deck to discover the large backyard, gather around the fire pit for roasting marshmallows and enjoying the star-filled evening sky, and embrace the fresh air and tranquility while savoring the joys of outdoor living.
