Set on 5 peaceful, wooded acres along a quiet country road, this thoughtfully updated Catskill retreat offers privacy, comfort and flexible space that is hard to find. The home has been extensively improved with a full interior repaint, upgraded mechanicals (new furnace and hot water heater in 2023), and a beautifully reimagined outdoor setting, complete with a firepit and fenced garden. Inside, the home feels bright and refreshed, with newly installed oversized glass windows in the main living area that bring the outdoors in and flood the space with natural light, and a new wood stove for extra warmth and character. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on the lower level, while the upper level features a third bedroom, an additional full bath, and a flex room. A versatile basement offers excellent potential for a workshop or additional storage. The standout addition is the 400 sq. ft. detached studio with two separated spaces. Fully insulated and equipped with heat and A/C, the studio provides a range of possibilities- guest space, home office, personal gym, or quiet retreat. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings while remaining well positioned between the villages of Saugerties and Catskill, with quick access to the NYS Thruway, the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, and the region's ski resorts. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or weekend escape, this property is ready to be enjoyed from day one, with space to live, work, and create.
