Description

This stylish, two-story shingled cottage c.1890, offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern sophistication. Located in Catskill's East Side Historic District, this light-filled, spacious home features high ceilings, dramatic hardwood floors, and large windows to connect the indoor spaces with the outdoor landscape. Lush gardens with flowering specimen trees create a rare sense of privacy and beauty in this village setting. A welcoming front porch leads to an open concept living and dining room that flows seamlessly into the well-appointed kitchen. The kitchen includes a full-sized refrigerator and a separate full-sized freezer which flank the pale granite countertops and island. Also on this level is a separate den/office, a walk-in pantry, a half bath, and a mudroom, providing easy access to the private, fenced ''secret garden'' with mature trees and perennials that bloom all season long. A beautiful period staircase with a multi-paned bay window leads upstairs to three bedrooms. The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bath, while two additional guest bedrooms share another full bath with a deep soaking tub. Large closets provide ample storage, and a washer and dryer are conveniently tucked away in a hall closet. All windows are fitted with new custom shades. All systems in the home have been updated, including a tankless hot water heater, a high-efficiency furnace, dual-zone heating and air conditioning, and a whole-house water filtration system. The large lot can be accessed by a rear alley for off-street parking and a future garage. The neighborhood is friendly and engaging. Walk to Catskill's thriving Main Street for its restaurants, breweries, movie theater, shops, Foreland Art Complex and public marina and park. Nearby attractions include the Thomas Cole estate and museum, and Beattie-Powers Place, an historic site that hosts concerts and lectures, overlooking the Hudson River. A five-minute drive brings you to Olana, home of Frederic Church and a NYS Historical Site with a museum, new visitor center, and miles of old carriage paths. The vibrant City of Hudson is six miles away with more restaurants, cafes, lodging, galleries, music venues, shops and, of course, the Hudson Amtrak Station, just a 2-hour train ride for you and some friends along the Hudson River from NYC.
