486 Cattail Road- Livingston Manor, NY
About The Property
Perched on a serene hill with almost 22 acres and just 3 miles from Livingston Manor, this turnkey contemporary aerie is as unique as it is spacious. With approx. 3,000 square feet, the home is perfectly designed for comfort, privacy and entertaining.
Entering into the large open concept kitchen-dining-living area one immediately feels a welcoming sense of space. The living room ceiling reaches an apex of 18’. Its warm wood tones and large bluestone fireplace instill a visceral homeyness. Light is pulled into the home from multiple directions: morning light streams in through high windows, the large South-facing picture window by the dining area and skylights welcome more in the late afternoon. With the impressive fireplace as its focus, the living room lends itself to wintry evenings by a crackling fire. The skylights bring in light year-round.
Get your chef on in the renovated kitchen. The modern/classic feel of the white cabinetry, quarts counters, and stainless appliances pair so nicely with the natural wood ceiling. With plenty of room for a large dining table, the dining area is perfect for both entertaining and the quotidian.
A perfectly private master suite is separated by a hallway that leads to an (almost) decadently proportioned bedroom. With a soaring vaulted ceiling and windows on 3 sides, one could be forgiven for being reluctant to get out of bed. The master bath is a sight to behold. With a tiled, glass door walk-in shower that has two heads and a seating area, and the double sinks make this a great way to start the day. Two other bedrooms, sizable in their own right, share a bathroom with a tub.
Upstairs from the main living area is a cozy loft. With both a skylight and a row of windows, the loft is bright even on the rainiest of days. Currently used as an overflow bedroom, this room could also be used as a bright office, play area or den.
The lower level of the home feels like the proverbial icing on the cake. The mudroom has built-in storage. A door can easily be added to the fourth bedroom which has two closets and en suite bathroom. Cedar walls infuse the room with that lovely familiar scent.
The large 18’x21’ studio has a plethora of possibilities. Sliding doors lead directly out to a walkway so the room may be accessed directly. Create an artist work space, romper room, more guest sleeping area….the opportunities are vast.
With a 30’x19’ deck there is plenty of space to lounge in the summer. A warm/cold spigot would be a perfect place for an outdoor shower. A stone fire pit a great place for a summer s’more. There is a bocce ball court that can be brought back to life. Expand on the garden and grow your own summer bounty.
There are 3 different lots included. The house is situated on the center lot, thus guaranteeing privacy. If preferred, a buyer could sell them in the future.
Livingston Manor has arrived. Amazing, independently owned shops abound. A impressive wine shop Upstream Wine, Great pizza at The Kaatskeller. Yummy sandwiches and produce at Main Street Farm, Fly fishing museum/shop at Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum. Two, yes two, breweries Upward Brewery and Catskill Brewery.
