Oakwood: Hankins, NY

About The Property

Oakwood has been completely transformed by the sellers, reconfiguring the spaces, prioritizing light and designing kitchen and bathrooms with luxe appointments. The house sits on five pretty, private acres, ideally located under 5 miles from buzzing Callicoon, and is enhanced by some really special trees, including a majestic mature oak, as well as apple and pear. It serves up the nature vibes and tranquility one wants in a Catskills retreat, with the amenities and attractions of Callicoon and the Upper Delaware River Valley just down the road.

Among the inspired alterations made by the current owners, a fourth bedroom was cannibalized to create a master suite, with modern tiled shower, double sinks and double closets. There is a stackable washer/dryer hook-up too. The two guest bedrooms, also on the ground floor, have use of a second modern bathroom with sliding barn door and glass-enclosed shower.

The main open concept living space now features a sleek kitchen with gas stove, new appliances, quartz countertops, open shelving and generous island. It benefits from the natural light that streams in from wraparound windows at the far end of the living room, where a glass sliding door opens onto the expansive (14x16’) covered porch. This whole space has been given an entirely new modern sensibility.

Upstairs a long, finished, open room with a window at each end would make a great office (two offices even), reading room or hangout space. It’s 23’ x 9’.

The full, unfinished basement is accessed via an external door. It appears that a previous owner poured a concrete floor and while the space is primarily for the home’s systems, it appears to be a solid footing for the structure.

And then there is the blank canvas that is the Studio. A successful photographer used a room on the ground level as his dark room, and it has water and electric. The cathedral ceilinged second floor is somewhat haphazardly sheetrocked and crying out for some love. An upgrade to this building could be a fantastic addition to the property.

So the summary here is: Turnkey, great-looking home with studio-with-potential, on peaceful road, 5 minutes to a great town. Make your appointment today!
