About This Home

As of March 2025

Down a long private drive and set on 5+ acres amid natural rock outcroppings sits this thoughtfully reimagined c1935 bungalow, where the Kiskatom Brook creates a peaceful backdrop for your daily routine. Sunlight streams through new picture windows, installed to frame views of the verdant pond and weeping willow trees, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth to winter evenings. The home has been intelligently designed to maximize both space and functionality. The main level features an open living area and two bedrooms that provide peaceful retreats at day's end. The newly finished attic creates bonus space perfect for a home office, creative studio, or additional sleeping quarters. The home expertly blends historic charm with modern updates, including new mechanicals, insulation, and a renovated kitchen and bath. A converted garage with French doors serves as an ideal artist's studio or workshop, and new roofs have been installed on both structures ensuring peace of mind for years to come. The property offers an authentic Catskills escape while staying connected to town amenities. Located in the artistic community of Catskill, you're minutes from galleries, cafes, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley. Whether you're seeking a weekend escape or year-round residence, this lovingly updated bungalow offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort just 2.5h from NYC.
