455 Main St Fleischmanns, NY 12430

For those seeking an utterly unique country home but would still like to be able to walk for a cup of coffee, this character rich 1910 farmhouse offers the convenience of being on the edge of a village in a stunning part of the Catskills, but has been designed with cosmopolitan - or make that countrypolitan - flair and comfort in mind. Its longtime owner, a fashion designer, has reimagined and created a space that makes one feel as if they are living a life of beauty and grace. You will love the open flow and the astonishing natural light from its countless windows, wonderful built ins, multiple sets of French doors, high beamed ceilings, beautiful hard wood and exquisite Moroccan tile floors, the brand new bluestone patio with a fire pit, and fabulous pops of color throughout the house. A former porch has become a California Sun Room that is used year round. The fully renovated kitchen is a chef's dream, with its efficient stainless steel appliances and lots of counter space and cabinets. If you are looking to work from home, there is plenty of room. Work with the comfort that comes with excellent and readily available high speed cable internet. Or put the house to work for you, it has been a successful vacation rental in the past when the owner has been off traveling! If you are not a driver, fear not, the bus from NYC will drop you right at your door, and with groceries and delicious restaurants in walking distance, it is entirely possible to use and enjoy this home without a car if one so chose. If you do have a car, enjoy the one car garage and plenty additional parking on the long driveway, plus there is a shed too! Adding to its ease of use, it is fed by town water and sewer. Fleischmanns is in a marvelous setting, surrounded by Belleayre Mountain and miles and miles of protected state land. It is at the confluence of three streams, Vly Creek, Emory Brook, and the Bushkill, accessible for fly fishing. The village area is going through a true renaissance period, with a coffee house, restaurants, an art gallery and other new businesses opening in the last few years, but it remains quiet and very charming. Wonderful towns like Phoenicia and Margaretville are close by, along with every recreational opportunity that makes the Catskills the ideal place to live and roam. Fleischmanns feels a little bit like a secret. Come get in on it.
