Step left for dinner with friends by a crackling fire, or step right onto rich hard wood floors and a grand Living Room with a glass sliding door that opens to a deck and marvelous views beyond. Just off the Living Room are spaces to entertain, or to be alone in quiet solitudea bright sun room or the huge deck each surrounded by magical birch trees and wide open skies. Warm hot cocoa in the sunroom in winter? Or, BBQs overlooking the landscape; spring, summer, and fall. Theres a bath on the first floor, and an original Sears Kit Kitchen with the original porcelain sink and drain board flanked by light blue, built-in country cabinetry. From the kitchen window gaze out at end-to-end mountains set below a rising sun reflecting delicious colors off the Reservoir. It's the first time this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has been on the market since its original prefabricated listing, straight out of a Sears catalog in 1925. Upstairs, just off a precious landing, are 4 bedrooms and a full bath. Windows let in light galore. Look out over the stone walls and wild flowers by day and enjoy quiet restful nights. Theres a full basement, 3 car garage, and storage shed. You are smack dab in the Catskills yet 15 minutes to Woodstock or Phoenicia. Close to skiing, mountain climbing, summer swims at Pine Hill Lake, or gourmet dining and shopping. There are also myriad hiking trailsand you could become a member of the Catskill 3500 club (33 peaks!?). This untouched piece of history is ready for your imagination and updates. This is a special home in a unique location with an eye out to the world of the Hudson Valley that you just might not want to leave. Grab this opportunity before it takes another 4 generations for you to get a chance.
