    What's special

    Panoramic viewsLarge center islandClassic bluestone fireplaceSunny dining alcoveMountain viewsSpacious well-equipped kitchen
    Escape to the Catskills and experience the perfect blend of history, charm, and outdoor adventure. Just minutes from the Pepacton Reservoir and Margaretville village, this beautifully preserved 1945 Cape Cod offers panoramic views, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and the peaceful lifestyle so many city buyers dream about. Rich in local history, this distinctive home was relocated from the former hamlet of Arena in 1954 before the Reservoir was created, preserving a unique piece of Catskills heritage. Today, it offers comfortable, year-round living with original character intact. The main level features a spacious, well-equipped kitchen with abundant cabinetry and counter space, a large center island, and a sunny dining alcove. Across the hall, the inviting living room is filled with natural light and centered around a classic bluestone fireplace—the perfect place to unwind after a day on the trails or the water. A first-floor primary bedroom and full bath provide convenient single-level living, while the rear entry includes a practical mudroom with laundry and additional storage. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms and a half bath, ideal for hosting family and friends. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. A covered bluestone patio with a custom-built stone fireplace creates an unforgettable setting for weekend barbecues, evening cocktails and relaxing while taking in the mountain views. Mature perennial gardens (and two peach trees) complete the idyllic setting. A detached two-car garage offers excellent storage for vehicles, kayaks and bicycles. For outdoor enthusiasts, the location is exceptional. The 21-mile-long Pepacton Reservoir is minutes away, offering some of the region's finest fishing, kayaking, and canoeing requiring only free recreational permits. Add nearby hiking, skiing, charming Catskills villages, farmers markets, and year-round recreation--that's why so many people are choosing the Catskills as their weekend escape. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a full-time residence, or an investment, this unique property offers history, character, breathtaking views, and an exceptional location—all at an attractive price.
