Description

This thoughtfully restored, historic 1800s church, set amidst the rolling farmland of the Northern Catskills, is now a one-of-a-kind three-bedroom residence. All original woodwork and details that could be saved have been preserved and are balanced with modern conveniences. The soaring entryway welcomes you in under the rebuilt steeple and leads into the former sanctuary- now the open concept living room and kitchen. This impressive room is perfect for entertaining with its cathedral ceiling and original stained-glass windows, wood flooring, and wainscoting. The 11-foot kitchen islandcustom built from the 170-year-old, old growth cherry wood of the original ceiling beamswill no doubt be the heart of this home. No expense was spared with kitchen amenities including a 36-inch Forno chef range, Bosch dishwasher, Liebherr fridge, pot filler and custom Hauslane range hood. The original four panel wood doors to the former rectory now lead to an impressive dining room (or studio) with incredible light, restored flooring, and a generous amount of space for dinner parties or creative pursuits. Downstairs, three sunny bedrooms include a primary with space for a king-sized bed, as well as a walk-through closet and ensuite bath. There is also a coffee bar, extra living room, storage and utility closets, and washer/dryer hook up. Light pours through the 14 windows surrounding this level and almost every aspect is newly built. Other improvements include new septic, driveway, privacy fence, fire pit, electrical, and plumbing; new on-demand tankless boiler; new exterior French drain and basement waterproofing; new flooring; 18 new structural posts on the lower level; new egress windows; and more. Located between the quintessential Catskill villages of Jefferson and Stamfordand not far from other great towns like Roxbury, Bovina and Margaretvillethis home is also close to incredible access to nature including the Schoharie Creek, Mine Kill State Park, and local farmstands. It is also less than 40 mins from three ski mountainsHunter, Windham and Plattekilland 2 hours and 45 mins to the GWB in NYC.
