Property Description

A veritable diamond of a Modern Catskill Cottage is perched at the edge of over 100 acres of DEC-owned lands to the north protecting the incredible view of the Rondout Creek, Catskill mountains and surrounding forests. Built in 1938, the cottage was formerly 3-season, but has now been thoughtfully renovated by the owners in 2023 and converted to year -round living without losing any of its original character. The interior layout has been beautifully crafted to include a large open plan great room with a modern kitchen, and a lovely dining nook with picture windows looking out over the expansive views of the protected meadows and elevated vistas beyond. The local river stone fireplace graces the spacious and light filled living room with well-placed skylights above and a high -efficiency wood -burning stove was set within it for back up heat on the chillier days. An office nook is off the living room and to the rear of the house a sunroom that offers flexible space for an art studio, or third bedroom and a lofted mezzanine provides space for ample storage. A hallway off the great room has its own door to the back deck and two sweet bedrooms, and a well-designed full bath with a shower. The exterior is the true hero of this charming offering: the cottage siding is cedar and a spacious deck over-looks the incredibly inspiring view beyond and there are steps leading down to a small deck large enough for two chairs to take in the wildlife that inhabits the Rondout River-level land booming with indigenous plants and trees. The home has new interior and exterior insulation that keeps it cool in the summer and warm in the winter... and peaceful in any season. The home is fully electrified- with ducted Fujitsu heat pump for heating and cooling, induction stove, electric hot water heater, washer dryer all newly installed in 2023. The cottage is on a very quiet dead end road thats very private from the surrounding neighborhood. It rests on a potent .11-acre lot. Directly across Honk Lake Road from the cottage is a separate beautifully wooded and developable 2-acre lot included in the sale offering: 2.11 acres in total. Nearby Minnewaska State Park offers countless hikes, swimming, rock -climbing, and cycling. The amenities of Ellenville offer Barthels Green Grocer and Ice Cream stand, Juniper Yoga, Morning Sunshine Market, Common Good, and Shadowlands Theatre. Fine dining at its best is the very local: Mill and Main, Accord Social, Inness, Westwind Orchard, Arrowood + Rough Cut Breweries. Come view this potently charming offering that will make anyone want to call it their inspiring full-time home or delightfully peaceful weekend getaway.+++++++++++OPEN HOUSE+++++++++++ Saturday OCT. 24th 1:00-3:001:00-2:00
