Set among mature evergreens and hardwoods in one of the most beautiful areas of the Catskills, this charming 1800s farmhouse offers an inviting retreat for those looking to enjoy the mountains in every season. Ideally situated for winter and summer adventures alike, Hunter Mountain, Windham Mountain Club and Belleayre are all within a short drive. The home is perfect for ski weekends, summer lake swimming, great restaurants, farmer's markets, and everything the Catskills has to offer. Inside, the 2,304-square-foot home is filled with warmth and character. Exposed wood beams run through the spacious living and dining rooms, where a magnificent floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace creates a wonderful gathering place after a day on the slopes. Large windows bring the surrounding landscape indoors, while the thoughtfully updated eat-in kitchen features beautiful new soapstone countertops, natural wood cabinetry, open shelving, brass fixtures and new appliances. A second wood-burning stove, set against a rustic fieldstone wall, adds another welcoming place to gather on snowy mornings. The home offers three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including two generous upstairs bedrooms with vaulted wood ceilings and private baths. A flexible first-floor room with its own wood stove and a charming sleeping loft provides additional space for guests, recreation or working from home. Ductless mini-splits offer year-round heating and cooling, while a dedicated laundry room and an attached two-car garage add convenience. Outside, the distinctive red farmhouse sits on an open half-acre framed by mature trees, with a wraparound porch and a lawn made for summer gatherings and evenings around the fire pit. Beyond the property, some of the Catskills' best hiking trails are close, along with local favorites including Van Dusen's General Store and Bar, known for its live music, West Kill Brewing, a destination for craft beer and Fellow Cafe, known for its delicious coffee and baked goods. From winter skiing to summer afternoons exploring the surrounding villages and trails, this is a wonderful place to experience the Catskills throughout the year. Recent updates include a new septic system, mini-splits for heating/cooling, chimney/wood stove repair and upgrades, high speed internet, updated bathrooms, and a new water filtration system. Approximately 2.5 hours from the George Washington Bridge, this welcoming country home is ready for its next chapter. Located in the Town of Lexington with a Prattsville mailing address.
