Set back from a quiet, scenic road in the heart of Palenville, America's first artists' colony, this turnkey contemporary colonial offers the kind of setting people come to the Catskills hoping to find, but rarely do. A long approach leads you into a home that feels both open and grounded. The custom kitchen, anchored by a central island, flows effortlessly into the main living and entertaining space, where a fireplace with pellet stove insert creates a natural gathering point. French doors open to a spacious rear deck, perfect for summer evenings, morning coffee, or simply taking in the stillness of the private backyard. Upstairs, the primary suite is designed as a true retreat, featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and an adjoining room ideal for a nursery, office, or creative space. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second level, including one bedroom with its own staircase leading to an expanded attic, offering unique, accessible storage rarely found in homes like this. The lower level adds even more flexibility, with a partially finished basement set up for recreation, complete with a pool table, plus a separate area for substantial storage. Perfectly positioned for both escape and convenience, the home is just minutes to local golf courses, dining, hiking trails, and year-round outdoor adventure. Only 15 minutes to Hunter Mountain and HITS in Saugerties, and 10 minutes to the village of Catskill.
