House Cochecton (United States)
Amid the verdant expanse of the Western Catskills, near the Delaware River, lies the serene haven of Casa Cochecton. Just two hours from the GWB in NYC, this enchanting retreat promises a harmonious blend of natural beauty and thoughtful design, inviting you to escape the clamor of city life and unwind in rural bliss. Entering through a generous mudroom you are at once welcomed to the country. Step into the sprawling living room with vaulted ceilings, where light cascades through expansive windows, filling the space with a serene, welcoming glow. A formal dining area adorned with a striking midcentury chandelier is just beyond and serves as a central gathering area for the home. Off the dining area, the country kitchen is a testament to timeless charm, featuring classic shaker cabinets, subway-tiled walls, and a bead board ceiling. An apron front sink and a generous walk-in pantry closet offer both practicality and elegance, making this kitchen a delightful space in which to create. Two tranquil bedrooms, designed to foster rest and relaxation, are also accessed from this central space, one with ensuite bath. The meticulously renovated bathrooms offer modern comforts while retaining the home’s rustic charm. Each space is crafted to soothe and rejuvenate, blending style with serenity. The second full bath sits adjacent to the kitchen and is overflowing with charm from the hand painted hardwood floors to the handmade tile and brass fixtures. Beyond the kitchen, the sunroom lounge that transforms into a cozy sleeping area at night, is perfect for morning coffee or an evening aperitif, encouraging you to unwind while gazing out over the expansive yard and surrounding forests. This massive bonus space enchants with warm wood paneling and endless windows and presents boundless opportunities for future uses - a new primary suite, gracious guest space, inspiring work from home office or art studio perhaps? Here, nature’s visitors frequently grace your view, enhancing the sense of peace and connection to the land. Outside, an expansive back deck beckons for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply soaking in the tranquil ambiance. Whether enjoying your morning tea or a starlit evening, this space deepens your connection to nature’s beauty. Conveniently located within minutes of charming towns like Bethel, Narrowsburg, and Callicoon, this home provides easy access to a variety of restaurants, shops, breweries, and distilleries.
