About The Property

Yes, you CAN find a turnkey home with clean lines, high ceilings and generous spaces, and still savor the character of old world, warm, original floorboards and an entrance hall with gracious staircase and bannister. Meet the Dutch House. The owners have meaningfully updated the house while original 1930s details remain, like two-paneled doors with glass knobs, an enclosed side porch wrapped in windows, and a charming entrance with side lights and decorative sunburst over the front door. All this served up in an eye-catching Dutch Colonial exterior.

There are eight rooms in the house, offering a multitude of spaces for various activities or private time. The living room is off that lovely front hall, and has a door at the far end that opens to a delightful covered porch with porch swing. A spacious dedicated dining room enjoys a view of the pretty backyard, with lawn and stonework, via sliding glass doors, and wonderful vintage wallpaper is pleasingly juxtaposed with the modern “sputnik” style chandelier. An office is around the corner, but it could just as easily be a TV room.

A recently updated kitchen is enhanced by a substantial walk-in pantry area.

Upstairs a hall leads to two bright, roomy bedrooms and a freshly overhauled full bathroom with subway-tiled tub/shower and large linen closet. A bonus room off the hall includes a stairway to the renovated attic, which has been serving as large (364 sf) office (and foosball arena), but could be a great den or whatever you fancy.

We’ve documented the complete list of upgrades made to the house in our Extra Info brochure, but in addition to replacing the roof, all the windows have received a major upgrade to super energy-efficient European triple glazed windows, and the house was fully re-insulated from the ground up.

There is an unfinished basement, which houses systems and offers storage space, as well as a separate two car garage, currently used primarily as a workshop and for storage.

The Dutch House is just a minute’s walk to the popular Catskill Brewery, and five minutes to the market, shops and eateries in Livingston Manor. Stroll to an exhibition at Catskill Art Space, and grab an ice cream at Evelyn’s Ice Cream Bar afterward. There is a wonderfully dynamic community in Livingston Manor, from cultural to culinary, and especially surrounding outdoor pursuits. The Catskill Fly Fishing Center is a hub for fishers and those who aspire to be. The Dutch House is perfectly situated to take advantage of it all.
