Tusten Manor: Narrowsburg, NY
About The Property
Are you looking for something different? Something outside the 3 bed, 2 bath box? Tusten Manor, built as a boarding house in the late 1800s, is a truly unique opportunity for living at a grand scale just outside of Narrowsburg, one of Sullivan County’s best and buzziest towns. With 9 true bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms, an indoor pool and over 4000 square feet, this is a home for those who want to live big.
Just off your circular driveway, step in to the oversized family room with walls of windows and a wood burning fireplace. Enough room for just about anything, it’s easy to imagine the largest of family and friend gatherings. Adjacent to the family room is Tusten Manor’s most unique amenity - its indoor 17x24 pool. Windows throughout, this space is equally appealing in the warm summer months with the french doors open as well as in the middle of winter with a snow falling outside. A full bathroom inside the pool room adds to the convenience.
The eat-in-kitchen is the heart of the home, with a massive walk-in “butler’s” pantry. This home is, after all, a former boarding house, and you can feel some of that detail in this side of the home. Passing through the kitchen you’ll find the more traditional spaces of a home of this age. A dining room and what is currently being used as an office, but would have originally been a living room, flank the stairwell and hallway leading out to your rocking chair porch. Though painted, you’ll notice original wood floors throughout this side of the home. Lots of character to be brought back to life.
Across the hall you’ll find the primary bedroom with bay window and an ensuite half bath. A little rejiggering could certainly make this a full bathroom if desired, though there is a full bathroom with jacuzzi tub just down the hall. Up the stairs, head to the second floor where there are five bedrooms and a shared full bathroom. All the rooms are generously sized and could accommodate king beds if desired.
To the third floor, you’ll find the final three bedrooms (one is currently in use as another den), as well as another shared full bathroom. Large storage closets round out the top floor.
Outside there are nearly 6.5 acres of land to explore. Plenty of open and level field for recreation or the future home of an outdoor pool, tennis court, etc. Enjoy the rough trails cut through the woods, and take a walk among the ferns. Just off the kitchen as well as the pool, the bluestone patio and firepit are ready for more large group entertainment. Put a hot tub out there and you’re really ready to go!
Tusten Manor presents real upside for those looking for room to grow and to host. It would also make for a significant investment opportunity for those looking at short-term rentals. A year round pool and sleeping capacity at 18+ make for a valuable combination. Add to that, its proximity to Narrowsburg and its an attractive package for potential renters.
Tusten Manor is only two minutes to Narrowsburg’s Main St. with business like Bar Veloce, The Heron, Tusten Cup, The Laundrette, Tiki 182, The River Gallery, One Grand Books, Mayer Wasner, and the soon to open mini-mall among many others.
