Words cannot express this amazing view of the Catskill Mountains. These pictures will not do it justice either. While lounging by the pool and staring at the curves of the mountains, you are left in awe of their beauty. From the bedrooms you can see Rip Van Winkle lying down for his nap. With every change of season comes a new palette of colors from the greens of spring to the cornucopia of autumn leaves, it's like something out of one of the Hudson River Painters precious landscapes. I think my favorite time is the dark silhouette that outlines the shape of the mountains as the day fades behind the Catskills. Sunsets here are magical and the mountains feel as if they are all yours. This home is built for entertaining. The soaring high ceiling of the great room leads right outside to the terrace and opens up into the kitchen and dining room as well. With 4 bedrooms and multiple extra rooms, the entire extended family can gather. The downstairs full finished basement is designed for entertaining by the pool and would make a great mother-in-law unit with proper permitting. The heated saltwater pool allows you to enjoy the fun early and late into the season. The house is seated on 6.1 acres that descend down to the Kaaterskill Creek at the bottom of the hill. Privacy is insured in the deed as neighbors are not allowed to take down trees in between the property borders. You must come and see the view from each and every room to truly appreciate this one-of-a-kind property. Everything you could want and only 5 minutes from the Village of Catskill. Less than 15 minutes to HITS in Saugerties and Warren St. Hudson. Skiing is 30 minutes to Hunter Mountain and 35 minutes to Ski Windham. Call Listing agent Terence Lynch for showing.
