Perched on a hill just steps from Callicoon on the Delaware river, this 3,200 square foot home has a commanding, yet quiet, presence. In 2012, the current owners executed a stylish renovation from top to bottom. The entrance hall and a central staircase split the house in two - on the first floor, to the left, is an open floorplan for the large and long living space. It flows from dining area set up front next to a bay window; cozy living room centered around a large and efficient wood stove, then a simple and chic kitchen. The kitchen features a large pass-through window anchored by a custom bluestone countertop. If you keep going through the screened door, you'll step directly onto a newly installed multi-level black wood deck. Farther down a path of bluestone steps, there's a 20x25 wooden meditation / yoga platform perched above a year-round stream. The right side of the first floor is a series of three separate rooms: a busy workshop studio, spacious utility room and a third room that could be a home office, or set up as a guest room if someone needed to be on the first floor. At the end of the hall is a half bath.The second floor features the same airy layout - rooms along both sides of the stairwell have been opened up to create 2 gigantic bedroom suites. The master suite has a sitting area, and a large dressing area that is currently used by the resident acupuncturist. Across the hall is a two-room suite. At the end of the hall, there's a tub/shower room and a separate water closet. Upstairs on the third floor, the original layout was left intact, and there are five medium-sized rooms that can be set up as bedrooms or offices. Reconfiguring the space to have multiple en-suite guest rooms would not be difficult if one wanted to run this as a B&B. The house is a rare gem among in-town farmhouses, and the backyard is just as dreamy. The owners recently installed the rear deck and yoga platform, and a gable-roof all-glass greenhouse with a custom tile floor. There are mature and also new plantings throughout the yard. At the bottom of the property is a small stream that runs year-round. Set on a quiet street with off-road parking, you can walk to town for excellent restaurants, shopping, river access, first-rate movie theater, stellar farmer's market and much more.
