35 Woodland Avenue, Catskill, NY 12414

Built in 1911, "Penfield" is a classic American Foursquare house built by the prominent Cowen family and has been sensitively updated leaving all the fine details of its period but made very comfortable for modern life. The house sits squarely on 1/3-acre at the corner of two of Catskills' most charming neighborhood streets lined with other stately homes with architectural style.The house has a handsome design, a comfortable layout and spacious rooms throughout. The big front porch is perfect for summer sitting. Inside the front door is a wide and inviting entry foyer with a striking "stile" stairway connecting both the foyer and the kitchen to the upstairs. To the right, pocket doors to the living room with gas fireplace and leaded glass window and across the foyer, matching pocket doors to the spacious dining room with leaded glass window and period chandelier. Period appropriate Craftsman detail woodwork and William Morris wallpaper in the" Strawberry Thief" pattern unifies the spaces and lends a warm, historic charm to the main floor rooms. A long kitchen, with single piece dark soapstone counter top, deep porcelain farm sink, glass-lit display cabinets, hand made Italian ceramic white subway tile back splash, and an "in kitchen" dining alcove .
