Three bedroom, one bathroom cottage | 1,008 square foot home on 6.02 acres | Custom renovation with wide plank floors and exposed beams | Brick fireplace with wood stove insert | Recently updated kitchen with ash counters, terracotta tile floors, and stainless steel appliances | Screened porch | Finished basement with wood stove | Low-cost HOA ($250/year) with Ten Mile River and private park access

Set on six private acres with deeded Ten Mile River access, Nook House is a 1940s hideaway reimagined for modern living. Behind its rustic stone entry and storybook exterior, this three-bedroom retreat blends craft, comfort, and Catskills character in a way that feels both grounded and design-forward.

A stone staircase leads to the screened porch, where wide plank floors, exposed wood walls, and warm brick immediately establish a sense of texture and calm. The porch functions as both entryway and gathering space, creating a natural transition between the outdoors and the home’s interior. Inside, the kitchen balances clean lines with rustic warmth, featuring terracotta tile floors, custom ash countertops, stainless steel appliances, and sleek cabinetry. A pass-through dining area connects to the living room, where a white-painted brick fireplace, exposed beams, and oversized wood-trim windows fill the space with warmth and light.

Down a quiet hallway, three serene bedrooms and a shared full bath complete the main level. Bedroom highlights include exposed beams, vintage doors, and transom windows, while the bathroom continues the home’s natural palette with terracotta-inspired tiles, light wood cabinetry, and silver fixtures. Downstairs, the finished basement offers flexible space for a workshop, studio, or sitting room centered around a wood-burning stove.

Outside, the property unfolds in layers across six wooded acres and three parcels, offering privacy, sunlight, and room to expand. The open yard provides space for a pool or gardens, while the surrounding trees lend a sense of quiet enclosure. Through the neighborhood HOA, residents enjoy private access to a riverside park and the Ten Mile River, a peaceful setting that shifts beautifully with the seasons.
