Hankins Farmhouse: Hankins, NY

About The Property

This cheerful newly constructed house is currently receiving its final finishes, awaiting a lucky buyer who appreciates the importance of great light, thoughtful contemporary design, and a tranquil environment. It’s a three bedroom, two and a half bath home sitting on nearly four acres on the most delightful winding country road, just ten minutes from scenic Callicoon and the Delaware River.

A gravel driveway leads to the white board and batten structure, with its picturesque covered rocking chair porch, bordered by plantings like boxwood, grasses and Russian sage. The entrance hall features a coat closest, as well as an integrated bench and row of brass hooks, an essential spot in any Catskills household for conveniently stowing outerwear, boots, etc.

The hallway gives way to a large open plan space and vaulted ceiling, with the living room straight ahead. A wood stove in the corner allows plenty of wall space for large windows (all Andersen) and doors to the spacious wraparound deck. To the right, the well-designed kitchen offers long stretches of quartz counter space and good looking cabinetry. Floating shelves provide opportunities for display, while the appliances, including gas stove, are a super cool black stainless steel from Samsung.

The ground floor bedroom is the master suite, and includes a bathroom with herringbone tiled walk-in shower. There is a half bathroom on this level as well.

Upstairs a “catwalk” overlooking the living room leads to two additional bedrooms, both with cathedral ceilings, and large modern bathroom with double sinks and tub / shower combo. A stackable washer/dryer hookup is in the hall closet.

At 1,160 square feet, the walk-out basement creates all sorts of exciting opportunities, whether it be as a large TV room, or a gym, this is a space with possibility beyond storage and easy access to the house’s systems.

Looking out into the seemingly endless light-dappled treetops, the back deck runs the length of the building and wraps around the side where a covered portion ensures summertime al fresco dining regardless of weather. And if a Catskills evening around the fire pit sounds appealing, that’s already taken care of, with a landscaped, graveled spot with stone fire ring off to the side of the house.

As mentioned, Callicoon is a short ten minute drive to wonderful shops, eateries and events, and just around the corner is Pelkey’s Tavern, less than a mile away.
