Set in the heart of Catskills State Park, Denning House is a charming, renovated 1900 farmhouse in the quaint hamlet of Claryville. Fully renovated in 2019, while retaining much of its historic character, Denning House provides an excellent opportunity for someone yearning for a nature-driven basecamp whether for full-time use, or a weekend escape. Entering through the rear of the home, a newly-added mud room provides an excellent entry point after a long day of hiking or riverside relaxation. The space is flexible and adds a healthy dose of storage to the home. A bright and airy kitchen, with plenty of room for an island or eat-in dining table opens up next to the mud room. The massive picture window overlooks your open and level yard - a perfect place for your morning coffee and some birdwatching. The aesthetic in the kitchen and throughout the home is clean and minimal - a perfect canvas with which to play. The ground floor layout is flexible, with the potential for a ground floor primary bedroom - or as the current owners have it configured, two separate spaces: a proper dining room enjoying the coziness of the wood stove, and a living room/office combination. The exposed beams and hardwood floors lend the home plenty of character, but the space feels contemporary in all the right ways. There are two full bathrooms on the first floor - one adjoining the dining room, and another that is off the office space. If desired, that living room/office can be treated as a primary bedroom with en-suite bath. Up the classic central staircase, you’ll find two ample bedrooms on either side. They are both capable of fitting king-size beds, and feature generous storage closets. Again, Denning House strikes a nice balance between its historic feel and modern living standards. Outside, the nearly 1 acre property is open, level, and highly usable. Already fenced in, this is a dog (or kids) dream. A built out garden is ready for next season’s crops, and an additional storage shed on the rear of the property is a helpful addition. Claryville, while a little off the beaten path, is also deeply central to so much of what this area has to offer. Mere minutes from some of the best Catskills trailheads, fishing holes, swimspots, and within an hour of nearly all of the Catskills and Hudson Valley, Denning House is truly a basecamp for those who want to explore it all, and get to come home to something special.
