Riverfront Cottage: Narrowburg, NY

About The Property

With stunning river views and direct, gently sloping access to the Delaware River, this fully renovated home offers a rare combination of intimacy, style, and a front-row seat to one of the Catskills’ most cherished waterways.

Inside, thoughtful updates elevate every corner. The tiled entryway, warmed by radiant heat, includes a custom wood alcove—an elegant and practical place to shed shoes or gear up for a riverside walk. Just beyond, the main living space flows openly toward the river, its ever-changing reflections a constant presence through west-facing glass doors.

The primary suite is positioned to the left of the entry. Airy and light-filled, it includes a tranquil seating area and an en-suite bath with full-height tile, a glass-enclosed shower, radiant floor heating, and a ceiling-mounted light well that draws in natural daylight. Straw chandeliers add texture and warmth.

Across the hall is a third, smaller bedroom with a clever built-in storage nook and a concealed washer/dryer. A second full washer/dryer setup is in the basement—ideal for longer stays or running bigger loads.

The main bathroom echoes the home’s sense of calm, with beautifully tiled surfaces, a walk-in shower, radiant floor heating, and a custom wood medicine cabinet. Just outside, a fully enclosed outdoor shower adds a perfect seasonal touch.

The open concept living area begins with a cozy sitting nook and a potential media wall. Adjacent, a second bedroom fits a queen bed and includes more built-in storage. More warm wood tones add a sense of style here as well.

The kitchen centers around a quartz-topped island with storage below, while a niche-enclosed refrigerator and adjacent pantry keep the space clean and efficient. This flows easily into the dining area, where a daybed niche offers a charming hideaway for reading or relaxing on a rainy day.

A highlight of the home is the sun-drenched sitting area in the glassed-in portion of the living room. A built-in sofa faces the river, catching afternoon light and drawing the eye outdoors.

Step through sliding glass doors onto a generous deck—perfect for grilling and dining, lounging, or simply taking in the sounds of the river and the birds that live on its banks. Stadium-style stairs off the deck lead to a broad lawn, ideal for games or gatherings. Adirondack chairs make a great front row for the river, and two firepit areas invite sunset conversations and s’mores under the stars. Across the water, only trees and sky greet the eye.

The two-car garage has electric, water service and a septic hookup. Use it as extra storage, or convert to an office or living area. The river access itself is incredibly easy—drop in a kayak, cast a line, or simply float in the current.

Tucked into the quiet Flats of Narrowsburg, the location strikes an ideal balance—serene and green, yet a short stroll to town, where you’ll find beloved local spots like The Heron, La Cigogne, and The Laundrette.

The home was used for personal use and as a successful short-term rental.
