About This Home

Victorian Elegance in the Heart of the Catskills.

Tucked beside a year-round stream and framed by mountain views, this circa 1890 Village Victorian is a graceful blend of timeless charm and thoughtful updates. Even the journey here along the breathtaking Catskill Scenic Byway feels like a retreat, where each passing mile draws you deeper into nature and a sense of ease settles in. Welcome to Margaretville, the gateway to all-season adventure in the Catskills.

Positioned on a prized double corner lot, the home stands proudly with a classic wrap-around porch that invites you to linger, unwind, and take in the beauty of your surroundings. Inside, original woodwork and inlaid hardwood floors reflect the home's rich heritage, while generous sunlight fills each room with warmth.

The kitchen is bright and open, perfect for gathering around the island to swap stories of the day's hikes, ski runs, or riverside explorations. Four bedrooms, plus a flex space ideal for a fifth bedroom, office, or studio, offer flexibility for full-time living or weekend escapes. Begin your mornings with quiet reflection or yoga on the second-floor porch, where panoramic mountain views set a serene tone for the day ahead. Two RAIS wood-burning stoves add inviting warmth throughout.

Outdoors, enjoy mature landscaping, a fenced vegetable garden, a firepit for cozy evenings, and ample lawn space for relaxation or recreation.

With a proven track record as a successful Airbnb, this property offers both a personal sanctuary and income potential. Located in the heart of walkable Margaretville Village, you're just minutes from Belleayre Mountain, scenic trailheads, charming shops, farm markets, and all the natural beauty the region has to offer.

Only 2.5 hours from the GWB, this is more than a home, it's your Catskill lifestyle, waiting to unfold.
