Woodsy Hollow: Kerhonkson, NY
About The Property
The driveway cuts through the woods creating anticipation before rounding a bend and reaching the welcoming entrance of Woodsy Hollow. The bright interior has a wonderful flow, with an open plan feeling, while still maintaining discrete rooms. So the living room has a distinct nesting vibe, but is open to the dining area, which is set in front of a six foot glass sliding door out to the deck.
And that dining space is adjacent to the long kitchen, which has a new range and dishwasher. The washer (also new) and dryer are conveniently located at the far end, by the side door.
The first of the two bedrooms is off the living room and is en suite with shower and new vanity and lighting. Down a separate hallway is the second full bathroom, completely overhauled with tiled, glass-enclosed shower and new vanity and lighting.
The second bedroom, also en suite, features a glass sliding door that opens onto the back deck, bathing the room in natural light. How wonderful to leave the door open in summer and enjoy an evening’s cool breeze for comfortable sleeping.
The lower level runs under the full length of the house and is partially finished, creating an open TV room and work from home area. There is also an enclosed room that is not considered a legal third bedroom. But this is a walk-out level to an area with pretty stonework and a wonderful mature dogwood tree that blooms magnificently in late spring.
There are terraced open garden beds awaiting your green thumb, while the fire pit area looks out over a semi-clearing to an ephemeral pond that pools from a delightful stream that meanders through the property (it does, occasionally, run dry). There are a few trails that provide enjoyable access to the woodland that makes up a substantial part of the eight acres, and lead to the far side of the pond. Set back from the road, the house benefits from complete privacy.
A large two-car garage, with electric, is an amenity that makes Catskills living so much easier. Plus storage is a dream. The “U” shaped top of the property has two frontage points on Samsonville Rd, should there be a need or desire to explore adding another dwelling.
Woodsy Hollow is close to so many desirable venues, including Arrowood Farms (10 mins), Stone Ridge Orchard (10 mins) and Inness (20 mins).
