127 Crump Hill Rd, Shandaken, NY 12480

Surround yourself with a wrap around deck that overlooks the majesty of the Catskills! A place to listen to the stream through the trees, pick apples in the fall, entertain friends and family under the stars, or write a book. If you're not outside you'll be under a lofty, vaulted and beamed ceiling. Great flow between the indoor/outdoor spaces which makes for a super easy BBQ-ing experience through the sliding glass doors to the deck. This is where the word "great room" really comes from; as the open kitchen, dining, and living room feature floor to ceiling windows, tons of light, and a cozy wood stove making this an exceptional home -- cozy yet sizable. Room for everyone or no-one! Quiet, easy, and comfortable. There are 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry on the main level. Upstairs is a large primary bedroom suite with views out to the tree tops, that includes a walk-in closet, a massive bathroom with double sinks, and a Jacuzzi tub that also has views! And there's more...The lower level has it's own walk-in entrance, a small office or reading room, or den, and a large family room: offering space to watch movies, play with the kids or friends, or to use for crafts or for to provide overflow for guests and fun sleepovers. The 2,200 sq. ft includes the lower level with a drive-under garage and entry in any weather. Exceptional location -- smack dab between 3 ski centers (Belleayre, Hunter, and Windham) for winter fun. Only 12 minutes to Phoenicia, Margaretville. Fine dining at Peekamoose and the newly renovated Shandaken Inn just 5 min. away. Close to Woodstock and 12 min. to Phoenicia or Margaretville, and everything the Catskills has to offer--all year long! The sellers have casually rented this house ($3,300 - $6,000 a month) mostly within their friend network. It could be a "super renter" for all seasons. Perched high on a hill and surrounded by 5 acres there's an open, airy feel plus an open yard for a game of crocket, or a garden. The driveway winds off a small country road and is excellent for a quiet walk with the dog, or a healthy run or stroll. Private and pristine, a place to relax and unwind, but minutes to everything you want to do...and only 2.5 hours from NYC. Life is good.
