Set in the heart of the Catskills, this early 20th-century farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated for modern living while preserving its historic charm.

With layered outdoor spaces, a guest-ready barn apartment, and interiors that balance rustic character with considered details, the property is as well-suited to weekends away as it is to full-time country living.

From the farmhouse’s front porch, enter into the foyer, where penny tile floors and painted wood paneling create balance between early 1900s craftsmanship and contemporary refinement. To the left, the dining and living rooms open beneath exposed beams, with wide-plank floors and a gas fireplace anchoring the space. A wall of windows and sliding glass doors frames views of the backyard and offers a seamless flow to the covered deck, designed for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. A cased opening reconnects the living area with the foyer, where a breezeway at the rear adds a subtle point of connection and contrast. Glass-paned doors on one side of the breezeway lead out to the back deck, while an adjacent set opens onto a quaint covered porch.
In the home’s right wing, the kitchen blends farmhouse practicality with updated warmth. Butcher block and soapstone countertops, a copper apron-front sink, and stainless steel appliances bring texture and functionality to the space, while a built-in banquette defines the breakfast nook. A brick hearth with a wood-burning stove anchors the eat-in island and adjoining seating area, creating a cozy gathering spot that invites lingering conversations and slow mornings.
Upstairs, a bright landing gives way to a second-level sitting room with oversized windows, vaulted ceilings, and a set of French doors that open onto a Juliet balcony. To the right of the sunroom, the primary suite offers a sense of calm and refinement, with a walk-in closet, integrated laundry, and abundant natural light. The ensuite bath features vintage farmhouse cabinetry, black-and-white finishes, a rainfall shower, a deep soaking tub with views of the grounds, and a double-faucet sink set in a classic apron-front basin. The second level also includes two additional bedrooms, each filled with light from large windows and finished with cove ceilings and warm, light hardwood floors that continue throughout the level.
Outside, the grounds are thoughtfully composed for laid-back gatherings and seasonal living. A pea gravel patio encircles a stone fire pit, while a gated garden sets the scene for long-table dinners beneath the trees. A wood-burning stove on the deck adds warmth well into the cooler months. Just beyond, a heated two-story red barn-style garage houses a one-bedroom apartment with warm wood-paneled interiors, a full kitchen, and a pocket-door bedroom—well-suited for a private guest retreat.
