247 High St Phoenicia, NY 12464

As you climb the private driveway to 247 High Street, you’ll immediately fall in love with this 1912 three bedroom, two bath arts & crafts bungalow with separate studio. Sited on just under an acre, the rear of this property is bordered by 131 acres of forever wild New York State land where you can take a hike directly from the backyard! This rustic yet chic getaway was updated by the designers of nearby Foxfire Mountain House and has been a top rental destination for years. The home boasts many original details from the cobblestone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling river rock columns on the back deck to the vintage swinging windows and hand-hewn beams. Sit back and relax in the generously sized living room with large windows that perfectly frame the mature landscaping and forest beyond. Two back doors access the spacious rear deck with charming swinging loveseat. A full bathroom with updated shower is conveniently tucked in the corner on the first floor. The eat-in kitchen with stone countertop and original sink has plenty of storage in the pantry and laundry room at the far end. Upstairs are three bedrooms anchored by the brightly painted laid stone chimney in the hallway. The roomy and bright full bathroom with tiled floor features an antique clawfoot tub where you can relax the day away. Take in the warm sunshine on the back lawn after a yoga or meditation session in the adorable studio. The studio has electric and would also make the perfect work from home space with peace and quiet. Mechanical updates over the past ten years include a new forced air furnace, DEP engineered septic with pump up system, and wood burning stove insert – and it’s on town water! Conveniently located just minutes to Phoenicia, 20 minutes to Hunter and Belleayre, there’s plenty of world class hiking, fishing, restaurants, and shopping to keep you busy year-round. Don’t miss 247 High Street!
