Sweet Creek: Durham, NY

About The Property

Open House Saturday, October 21, 11am-1pm. Please RSVP.

Yearning for a slice of serenity in the heart of the Catskills? Welcome to Sweet Creek. This delightful Cape set on 10.29 sprawling acres is your ticket to tranquility. Own your very own babbling creek, fully within the property lines, as well as a two story barn, and coop that would make a fantastic workshop or office/studio with a little elbow grease. The home features high ceilings, an open layout, dedicated office space, first floor primary suite, bonus room, and an attached two car garage - all just two hours from the George Washington Bridge. 

Enter through the original front door with transom windows to the center hall style layout. Inside, the space offers room to roam, room to entertain, and room to grow. The living area features some very attractive built-ins and a wood burning fireplace for the coziest evenings. With dedicated office space, you can finally work from home without feeling like you're stuck in a closet. And speaking of closets, this home has one in every room. Storage abound in the full basement and loft above the garage! When the day is done, retreat to the primary suite, which also opens up to the back deck. The en-suite bathroom is the perfect place to soak away your week. The open kitchen and dining room look out to the fully fenced back yard, featuring a large deck for dining al fresco, and, of course, a fire pit area. There are also two front rooms perfect for offices or a den. 

Upstairs, you’ll find a full bath shared by the three well-sized bedrooms, all light filled from the charming dormer windows. The bonus room, off of the largest bedroom, is another great space for an office, gym, den, or nursery. 

Nestled on a quiet country road, you'll enjoy all the peace and solitude you crave. No noisy neighbors or traffic jams here, just the sounds of nature and the occasional "Hello" from a passing deer, eagle, heron, fox, or turkey often seen crossing through the meadow.

The Cornwallville Creek is your front-row seat to Mother Nature’s symphony, and the barn, oozing with character, is really where the party’s at. This versatile space is perfect for storing your tractor, antiques collection, hosting events, or turning it into the hobby space of your dreams. The old coop out back has electric and is ready to be utilized as simply storage or another finished space. 

Sweet Creek is just a few minutes to several upstate staples. Windham Mountain skiing and hiking, as well as its restaurants like Babblers, Union & Post, Windham Local, and Tavern 23 are just 15 minutes down the road. The iconic Oak Hill, made famous by the one-and-only Pidgin is just 9 minutes away along with The Yellow Deli, Wild Flower Florist, and Tripp & Co antiques. Attend the many events Glen Falls House has to offer, as well as delicious food at Julia’s Local just 20 minutes away in Round Top. Casa Susanna, Hartland Shop, and Gracie’s Luncheonette are a 20 minute drive to Cairo. And the Village of Catskill, with its many shops and restaurants along Main St, is just 5 minutes further.
