Owned by the same family since its construction, this home was built in a style reflecting the surrounding catskills resorts in their golden age, making this house a borscht belt treasure with a direct link to the nearby resorts. Its clean lines, simplicity, extensive use of glass, and butterfly roof, add up to an iconic example of mid-century modern architecture. The split-level main floor has a wall of glass that floods the dining and living room with southern light while the updated kitchen with a poured concrete counter and river rock walls add a natural touch to the home. Up three stairs you find the bedroom level which includes 2 bedrooms with a shared original bath and the primary suite with an ensuite bath. Each bedroom has a wooded view from their large windows. The screened porch off the upper floor is a great place to listen to the rain. Not included in the sq. Ft. (approx 500)is the half finished walkout basement with extra bedrooms, 3 baths and an eat in kitchenette. Use as a mother daughter or in-law suite. Would also make a great airbnb/short term rental. There are perennial gardens dotting the yard and a lovely grove of trees off the side door which offers shade on those hot days. With its 2 separate living areas this would make a great investment. Come see this beautiful piece of catskills history, and be a part of its future, before it's gone.
