Property Description
Built in 1950, the house offers 783 square feet of highly livable space. Its open floor plan is centered on a remarkably generous main living area - far larger than one might expect in a cabin of this size - with plenty of room for cooking, dining, hanging out and long conversations by the stove. Rich knotty pine paneling wraps the room, while windows on multiple sides bring in an abundance of natural light.
The centerpiece is an exquisite fieldstone fireplace, its gorgeous masonry a tangible link to the cabin's past. Set on the hearth is a wonderfully quirky barrel-shaped wood stove - part workhorse, part conversation piece, and exactly the sort of oddball detail that gives this place its soul. The kitchen retains an impressive collection of original custom 1950s cabinetry, including glass-front cupboards and built-ins that combine craftsmanship with genuine utility. A classic Dutch door brings its own bit of charm.
Just beyond, a window-lined enclosed porch with a Catskills bluestone floor extends the living space and makes an ideal spot for slow mornings, reading, drawing or watching the wildlife. A dedicated workshop provides a practical place for projects and storage. There's also a new gas range and refrigerator, brand-new durable Pergo flooring and the considerable peace of mind of a backup generator already in place.
Outside, towering pines, perennial plantings and old stonework give the property a loose, unstudied feel, with a mountain ridge rising beyond the house. The backyard would be a wonderful place for entertaining, with a generous bluestone patio, lawn and firepit creating an almost woodland-courtyard atmosphere.
Then there is the separate shed: windowed and insulated, with double doors, a metal roof and a partly finished interior ready for someone to take further - as a small studio, special hideout or backyard think tank.
The creek is close enough to hear from the property, while the house itself is outside the mapped floodplain. Chichester is cherished for its mountain landscapes, clear streams and direct access to New York State's forever-wild Forest Preserve. Phoenicia, with its fun and funky arts and food scene, is less than ten minutes away, while Hunter and Belleayre are each about twenty minutes.
For anyone who has been waiting for a Catskills place that feels authentic, personal and just a little unexpected, this may be it.
