Peaceful Catskills setting. This is a comfortable, functional home with mountain views. Windows in all directions provide continuous daylight. Only 2 miles from Main Street in Phoenicia. It's a 1.17 acre property that's high up, with underground drainage systems. It goes across Herdman Road and down a slope to the Esopus, with a viewing platform at the top. The home has a whole-house backup generator with a 500-gallon propane tank, and a full-house ductless A/C system. The first floor features an open floor plan with a kitchen, dining room, and sitting area, a formal living room, 1 bedroom, and a full bath. There are 3 decks connecting off the first floor. The second floor has 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a hallway office. The walk-in semi-finished, high-ceiling basement has an additional 4th bedroom, rec room, and laundry/storage area. The house is very well insulated, with 2x6 walls and solid foam insulation under the siding. Outside, there is a huge lawn recreation area, stainless steel BBQ, fire pit, exterior security video system, and 2 gravel-paved driveways. Located only 20 minutes from Belleayre Ski Resort and not far from other great Catskills towns like Hunter and Woodstock. What the owner loves about this house is the peaceful blend of nature and a very comfortable home. From morning till sunset, sunlight fills the house. Each season brings unique landscape views. The well water is super pure and great tasting. There are lots of hiking and country road walking around the property area. It's perfect for viewing the Esopus Creek, swimming, and trout fishing. With no streetlights nearby, you can enjoy the firefly light show or the star-filled skies.
