Property Description
Set in the heart of Mount Tremper with mountain views and a classic farmhouse feel, this thoughtfully updated early 1900s home blends original character with carefully considered modern improvements. Warm, welcoming, and full of charm, the property feels deeply connected to its Catskills setting, with details that speak to its history while offering the comfort and functionality that make everyday living easy.
A welcoming entry with classic ceramic tile opens into the home's light-filled interior, where original details and historic character can be felt throughout. The spacious living room is anchored by a handcrafted bluestone wood-burning fireplace that invites cozy winter evenings by the fire, while the bay window offers the perfect place to curl up with a book or morning coffee and take in the landscape.
The newly renovated kitchen feels elevated yet true to the character of the home. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully finished, the kitchen features Omega semi-custom alder cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, and a 36'' dual gas/electric range. Just off the kitchen, a spacious three-season screened porch extends the living space outdoors, offering an ideal setting for summer dinners, quiet mornings, or evenings spent listening to the sounds of nature. A separate dining room feels like its own little world - full of character, surrounded by windows, and well suited for long dinners and gatherings. A full bath with a walk-in shower completes the main level.
Upstairs, a quaint landing adds to the home's storybook farmhouse feel, connecting three bedrooms and a full bath. The oversized primary bedroom offers generous closet space along with thoughtfully integrated built-ins and storage features, creating a retreat that feels both functional and inviting. The recently remodeled bath features ceramic tile, a Kohler tub, and Delta fixtures, blending clean modern finishes with the home's historic charm. An unfinished walk-up attic offers additional storage and future potential.
Outside, the property feels peaceful and inviting, with mountain views, mature trees, and an open lawn ideal for gardening, gathering, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A fully rebuilt bridge crosses the stream that runs alongside the property, creating a setting that feels both serene and connected to nature, and a vintage stone wishing well adds to the property's charm and sense of history. A custom-designed firepit area creates a natural gathering spot under the stars, and the newly fenced front yard adds both practicality and peace of mind. A large detached garage/studio/workshop provides additional flexibility and is ready for its next owner's creative vision.
The home has also seen a number of meaningful infrastructure and system upgrades that make it truly move-in ready. Energy-efficient heat pump systems installed to provide heating and cooling throughout, including central AC downstairs and ductless mini splits upstairs. A brand new septic system installed in November 2025 through the Catskill Watershed replacement program - a significant improvement already completed for the next owner. The updates throughout the property have been thoughtfully done, preserving the home's original charm while bringing in modern convenience and efficiency.
Located just 10 minutes from Woodstock, the property offers easy access to some of the Catskills' most loved destinations: Phoenicia Diner, The Pines, Olivers, Bread Alone, and Phoenicia Pizza 28 are all within five minutes, along with the Ashokan Rail Trail, Mount Tremper Trailhead, Kenneth L. Wilson Campground, and the Catskills Visitor Center. With hiking, dining, and outdoor recreation all close by, and under 2 hours from NYC, the location offers the perfect balance of convenience, community, and access to nature.
