848 Shandelee Rd, Livingston Manor, NY 12758

This is the perfect Catskills farmhouse, carefully restored and updated, with lake rights to Sand Pond. Built in 1890 with a 1930s addition, and recent renovation, a covered front porch (large enough for company) welcomes you inside. A bluestone patio with firepit and spacious deck are off the back for outdoor entertaining, and there is a private lawn & organic garden. Inside, the large living room with fireplace opens to the dining area, which flows into the sleek kitchen containing the home's original butler's pantry. An office, laundry area, full bath and mudroom are also on the first level. Upstairs, find the bedrooms, 5 in all, including a master suite and another modern full bath. A newer boiler is oil-fired and also burns pellets for savings. A walk through the woods takes you to your spot on Sand Pond (aka Clearwater Lake), where you can stash your canoe (included) or take a dip on a hot summer's day. Updated plumbing/electric; whole house speakers. 5 min from Livingston Manor.
