Set back on a quiet road less than a mile from vibrant Main Street Livingston Manor is this well maintained and updated 1910 cottage with much of its original charm.
Step into the sunny two story home and you'll want to linger the day away. The first floor is open with plenty of space for all you want to do. Newly renovated kitchen with hickory lower cabinets, clean solid surface counter top (easy cleanup) and generously sized stainless sink make casual country living easy. A large pantry and customized butcher block island provides plenty of kitchen storage. New appliances. A Jotul wood stove to keep you cozy on those chilly Catskill mornings and evenings. New mini-split (ductless heat pump) on first and second floor heat and cool the space in minutes adding to your ease and comfort. Upstairs are two bedrooms with oversized windows, good closet space, painted and stained wood floors throughout the house. The enclosed front porch adds an additional 85 sq ft (not counted in overall square footage) living space to store all your toys (fishing gear, hobby equipment etc.) or just another space for whatever your heart desires. There is a high and dry basement with laundry hookup and more storage. The full bathroom on the first floor has a tub and shower though the current homeowners use the outside shower almost exclusively three seasons of the year. Showering while sun and star gazing, there is nothing like it! The house is perfectly sited on 1.2 acres and nestled among pines and maples with green open space for play (bocce anyone?), a 30'x30' deer-fenced organic veggie/herb garden, large outdoor shower, fire pit, meadow with late summer and autumn flowering wildflowers, mowed paths, an old apple tree, and a baby barn make this the quintessential country home with all the convenience of a nearby town.
Conveniently located to farmers' markets, restaurants, and breweries. Minutes to DEC designated flyfishing on the Willowemoc and Beaverkill and home to the Catskill Flyfishing Museum and Catskill Art Society (CAS). Situated near the Catskills Park with thousands of acres of forever wild forest, streams, stunning valley views, swimming lakes and hiking trails including Mongaup and Frick Ponds, the Catskill Fire Towers trails, and Beer Mountain (at Upward Brewery).
Recent upgrades include: Two mini-split heat pump units (one per floor heating/cooling). Newly installed kitchen cabinetry, solid surface counter, custom island. New appliances i.e. stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, dryer, washer hookup. New hot water heater, well pump, and ultra-violet light on water line from well. Privacy fence. Outdoor shower. Garage and baby barn sold AS IS.
