Built circa 1860 and reimagined through subsequent years, this gracious home has much of its original charm but all the comforts modern day life. This is a home of beauty, style, comfort and convenience…this is Willow Whisk. THE HOME - At first glance it is apparent that this home has been well care for, loved and maintained to the highest standards. The covered front porch with its beautiful river views and generous size is the ideal introduction to what lies within. Upon entering the home you are greeted with a large foyer, a wonderful staircase with a wooden bannister, a colorful stained glass window and a peek into the surrounding rooms. The downstairs consist of a living room, formal dining room, a library with built in shelving, an office, kitchen and a bathroom/laundry room. Hard wood floors, crown molding, a mix of period and modern fixtures can be found throughout the house - there is a harmony of function and design throughout. The eat-in kitchen features granite counters, a 5 burner gas stove, stainless appliances, wood cabinets, a breakfast bar and a wonderful (and enviable) walk-in pantry! The kitchen is a chef’s dream and has an intuitive, functional layout and has beautiful natural light. The downstairs bath/laundry room has a stackable washer/dryer and is a generous sized room. There is an unfinished bathroom off of the office awaiting your vision. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a living room, and a sitting area. Both bathrooms are stylish, modern and blend beautifully with the old world charm of the rest of the house. Each bedroom is a comfortable size and suffused with a beautiful natural light. The house has a new roof that was installed in 2018/2019, a new multi-split heating/cooling & humidity control system that was installed in March 2021 and the windows were replaced in 2015. OUTSIDE - There is a two story carriage barn and a sweet sap house that add to the overall function and value of this property. The carriage barn is approximately 700 square feet featuring a downstairs room that is an ideal space for a studio, workshop or potting shed. The upstairs is brimming with possibility and is a very functional room awaiting your inspiration. To the rear of the house is an entertaining deck surrounded by beautiful perennial and vegetable gardens - it is a place of beauty and serenity. One of the highlights of the property is the front porch which has lovely, peaceful views of the Dry Brook - it is a magical setting and a wonderful place to polish off a bottle of wine or read that new bestseller. Mature trees and a mountainside setting complete the picture for this desirable home. Willow Whisk is minutes to the charming Catskill Mountain village of Margaretville - you are close to shopping, restaurants, golfing, hiking, boating, skiing and all the wonderful things the Catskill Mountains have to offer. Located 2.5 from NYC and within walking distance to the bus to NYC.
