About The Property

Tucked away on 3.8 private and idyllic acres, this Cape Cod-style home charms. Built in 1988, it has an ideal combination of space, light, and outdoor activities. With 3 inviting bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this home is designed for both comfortable living and easy entertaining.

At the core of the home, high ceilings great an airy sense of volume, the skylights ushering in light even in the winter months. A wood stove sits idly in the corner with a nicely bluestone-faced hearth, fire this up in a couple months to keep away winter chills.

The kitchen has ample cabinetry and is a nicely organized U-shape for getting your chef on. Keep the dining table where it is or bring a larger one out to the main area for dinner entertaining. The stove and fridge were recently replaced.

Three nicely sized bedrooms are accompanied by two full bathrooms. The first of each is on the main floor. The upstairs has the remaining two beds and second full bath.

The large deck, replaced in July ‘24, is a glorious way to spend a summer, spring or fall day. South-facing, it gets great sunlight for planters and loungers. Feeling too warm for you? There is a shaded deck just below which can be accessed by the sliding doors on the lower level.

Downstairs is an ideal den or media room or office. Half the lower level is nicely finished, the other half has a workshop area, the mechanicals, washer/dryer, and loads of storage.

The home is part of a welcoming HOA. There is a short trail that leads to an Olympic-sized pool, two tennis courts, and a fishing pond, providing a variety of outdoor activities just steps from your door.

The location is super convenient as well. Jeffersonville, just an 8 minute drive, has a grocery store, a lovely bakery, a gourmet international market, great home goods, a bike shop and more. Head over to Callicoon (12 minutes) for some great tapas, to catch a movie, or get some superb, locally distilled spirits. Drive 18 minutes to Livingston Manor, which seems to be in every travel guide to the Catskills these days (and for good reason!) – two very successful breweries await, as does great food, and a fantastic art space.
