Highview House: Callicoon, NY

About The Property

Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this stately Victorian home boasts old-world charm and overlooks the sweet river town of Callicoon. Step inside and discover a treasure trove of delightful details: charming nooks and crannies, a sunny pantry, a built-in bar, and inviting window seats. The current owners have tastefully enhanced the home with numerous improvements, including newly painted interiors, beautifully refinished wood floors throughout, fully renovated bathrooms, and updated light fixtures.

Entering, you're greeted by a welcoming foyer, complete with handy hooks and shelves for all your outdoor gear. From there, you're drawn into the center of the home where a two-sided fireplace offers the warmth of a wood-burning fire on one side. The other side houses a pellet stove, efficiently heating both the dining and living rooms, which are painted in a sophisticated, moody blue. The living room is bathed in natural light from large windows overlooking the front porch and features floor-to-ceiling shelving. The dining room, perfect for entertaining, includes a built-in bar area or buffet and provides direct access to the expansive wrap-around porch.

Just beyond the dining room, discover the cheerful, updated kitchen. It boasts new butcher block counters, all new appliances, and freshly painted cabinets. A convenient pantry and a half bath are nearby, along with a door leading to the back of the house. Access to the full basement is here as well.

The wonderful covered wrap-around porch is a true highlight. Its spaciousness and fabulous adjustable glass blinds allow you to control the temperature, ensuring comfortable outdoor gatherings year-round. On a side of the house there is a stone patio offering another gathering spot.

Upstairs, you’re greeted by five cheerful bedrooms, each with its own unique character, as was customary for homes of this period. One bedroom even features a Juliet balcony and a private sink. This level also includes a full bath and an additional half bath. Should you desire an en-suite primary bedroom, a smaller adjacent bedroom presents a logical and convenient spot for adding an additional bathroom.

Situated on a double lot, this property offers ample space to add a swimming pool, should you desire. The exterior has been intentionally left for the next owners' vision, a consideration reflected in the home's price. Enjoy leisurely strolls into Callicoon, with its fantastic selection of shops, restaurants, and the classic Callicoon Theater. Black Walnut, Callicoon Wine Merchant and Spruce Home Goods are just a few favorites in the area. See more options in our Guide to Callicoon. The scenic Delaware River is also just steps away. All this, conveniently located only 2.5 hours from New York City.
