82 U & D Tpke, Shandaken, NY 12410

Step back to a gentler time with this Catskill farmhouse (c. 1870) bordering state land and the Belleayre Ski Mountain and Cross Country trails. Architectural details abound: like original unpainted wainscotting in virtually every room, original doorknobs, patterned tin ceilings in mint condition, triangular lighted windows in the attic, hand spun spindles, and a stately brick fireplace. Enter through an adorable rocking chair porch and follow the luster of hard wood floors in a circular flow through the LR, DR, and spilling out into the Kitchen and 2 enclosed porches. You will always have space to be alone and write a book, or, create a big event and invite friends and family. The original wrap around porch has been enclosed and there are tons of nooks and crannies to enjoy in whatever fashion you wish. A sewing room, a place to use as an office, or to relax and watch the fire flies. Off a dead-end road, and down a country drive are your two lots -- making this a 2.60 acre private parcel -- with room to play soccer, BBQ on the patio, or roam in the woods. There's a huge oversized 2-car garage with additional approx. 730 sq. feet vaulted second story just waiting to be your art studio, storage, a place to tinker on hobbies. It may also someday be a guest cottage (buyer must check with the town regarding permits & permissions). Bike or walk to Pine Hill (there's a path at the end of the cul-de-sac on U & D Turnpike. You are less than two minutes to skiing and right off the NYC bus route for easy visits from guest. A short drive from NYC w/ close proximity to Phoenicia, Woodstock, Margaretville, and Roxbury. Great as a rental (with the ski center it's a winter, spring, summer, and fall rental!!) or perfect for full or part-time use. Move-right-in (!!) as there is great pride of home ownership here, including: newer architectural shingle roof, a newer well pump, CWC septic system, hot water heater, and a well tended yard with mature landscaping. Seller is selling 2 lots for this price. Lot 2, SBL 4.5-2-29, abuts State Land. See last photo. Seller must find appropriate housing and will sell and then need to rent back for 2 months post closing.
