This charming cottage is a clean white canvas and sits beautifully on its elevated perch above Callicoon Center. Bring your imagination and this will be your perfect country getaway. With views of the surrounding Catskills mountains, it nestles into 2.85 acres of lawn, woods, and trails. A small year-round stream runs through the property, as do the trails that lead to apple and peach trees, and you can pick raspberries along the way! The cottage has been nicely renovated and incorporates “smart home” technology, such as a Nest thermostat and a SONOS whole-house sound system with room-by-room volume controls. High-speed internet by Spectrum Cable keeps you connected. The first floor offers a contemporary kitchen with hardwood floors, a multi-windowed dining room with lots of light, comfortable living room with wall-mounted flat-screen TV, modern bathroom with clawfoot tub, two bedrooms (the larger of which opens via French doors to the deck), and a bright enclosed sunporch/mudroom.
