Catskill Living at Its Finest

Property #0030 - $459,000

We all live in this fast paced, high tech world where endless responsibilities, deadlines and crowded conditions have become an accepted way of life. We all need a getaway place... a place to escape. The idyllic location would situate you in a pristine natural environment while providing relief from the stress of congested traffic and never ending commutes. A location such as this requires a uniquely styled home that matches the context of its surroundings and feels at one with the natural settings. The dwelling should grant you the opportunity to relax, to spend time with family and reconnect with nature, to focus on a healthier lifestyle so that the weekdays speed by to make way for those weekends away. The exterior styling and enduring materials should stand the test of time and provide you with shelter and cherished memories for years to come.

Like an eagles nest this 1800 square foot log home sits atop Scribner Hollow Road just a four-mile drive to the slopes of Hunter. From a three acre parcel the residence overlooks its neighbors while taking in magnificent views of the East Jewett Valley and the Catskill's famous Blackhead Mountain. From the sprawling wrap-around terrace you'll watch the seasons pass by, each presenting a more beautiful vista than the last.

The residence was constructed in the fall of 2001, and while beautiful in its own right, the owner has not stopped improving the land around the home or the interior finishes within. The driveway has been paved for a modern mountain convenience, composite decking added to the terrace for ease of maintenance and as evidence shows in the pictures the now mature landscaping has been a constant labor of love.

Upon entering the residence you'll be subdued by the natural hues of the logs and tongue and grooved ceiling. A modern C-shaped kitchen lays out to your left and has enough counter and cabinet space to easily entertain family and friends. From the living area built-ins and stair railing leading to the second floor, to the large L-shaped loft workstation, custom millwork was styled to bring the natural themes inside, completing the cues provided by Mother Nature. Sets of sliding doors open to a spacious terrace while overhead large paned windows let nature soak into the interior. Two symmetrical bedrooms and one full bath round out the first floor of the home.

The second floor of the residence is filled by a master bedroom complete with jetted tub and additional full bath. This space was designed to provide the owner her own private retreat away from family and guests. Outside the home you and your family will enjoy a cleared yard with strands of birch trees poking through the wooded boundaries.

Location, style, view, finish and upkeep... all key factors to the marketability of a home…and as you will see during a tour, this home ranks high in each of those categories.
