About The Property

With impeccably renovated interiors, and space to stretch inside and out, Twin Ponds represents a unique opportunity to put your stamp on a luxe Catskills retreat. Set hillside on 11+ acres with panoramic views of the valley stretching out beyond your two ponds, this is a rare combination of scale and setting ready for its next chapter.

Twin Ponds interior renovation (completed in 2022) is extensive and impressive. No room was left untouched, and a deep sense of serenity and luxury pervades the space - from the color choices, to the materials, to the expansive windows framing the year round views. Four generous bedrooms and four full bathrooms make this a perfect home for a growing family, for the happy host, or just for someone who wants their space.

Hopefully whoever it is, they like to cook, because this has to be one of the finest kitchens in the area. A 48” Forno gas range, quartzite waterfall island, porcelain apron sink, and quiet close custom cabinetry make this the kitchen of your dreams - a kitchen for lengthy dinner parties, for holiday feasts, and for late night chats around the island. A true centerpiece. The kitchen shares space with the dining area, framed by massive windows and a brand-new propane fireplace.

The house flows easily room to room, and the expansive living room adjacent to the kitchen and dining room is (like everything else in this house) grand, airy, and a perfect palette for your decorating vision. Do you want a grand piano? Or perhaps multiple sitting areas? Or maybe a reading nook surrounded by plants? All are possible. Beyond the living room, tucked quietly behind the black paneled wall, is a true bonus room. Currently set up as an office/library, the sky is the limit for how to utilize this 16’ x 22’ space.

At the other end of the top floor you’ll find the primary bedroom - replete with en-suite bathroom, separate sitting area, and a walk-in closet. A guest bedroom and second full bathroom complete the myriad offerings of the over 2000 square foot top floor.

Downstairs in the finished, walk-out basement there is an additional den/media room with a lavish wet bar. A second gas fireplace keeps the space cozy and warm. This is definitely a space to cozy up with friends and family for the night.

Down the corridor you’ll find another two bedrooms and two full bathrooms (including one en-suite). While not usually of note, the laundry room at Twin Ponds is beautiful - tiled to the ceiling with apron wash sink and high-end stackable GE washer and dryer.

Outside, the potential of Twin Ponds really starts to show itself. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the exterior renovation was never completed, but for those willing to roll up their sleeves - there is a wonderful opportunity to customize an exterior refresh to match the style and quality of the interior. This work has been built in to the asking price, and for the intrepid buyer willing to take on a project, we believe the upside is significant.

Beyond the home itself, 11 acres of rolling lawn, woods, two ponds, and a basketball court (in need of TLC) provide incredible potential for further development. This is truly a parcel with the scale to match the home itself. Centered in one of the most desirable pockets of Sullivan County - Twin Ponds is less than three minutes from the hamlet of North Branch (and its impossibly charming businesses, North Branch Cider Mill and the North Branch Inn). Just five minutes the other direction and you’re on the buzzy main street of Jeffersonville with its specialty markets, bakery, supermarket, and restaurants. Catskills mainstays, Livingston Manor and Callicoon are both under twenty minutes. Truly a dream location!
