Enjoy the summer AND every other season in this quintessential beach house! No detail has been overlooked in this magazine-worthy UPSTATE NEW YORK PROPERTY. Wait, beach property - in upstate New York. Really? Yup, you've got it. Sited on 18 Catskill Mountain acres, this property opens with a ¾ acre pond with BEACH, Tiki Hut with water, fridge and umbrellas! The house is a tribute to joy, movement and custom refinery. Hand-crafted moldings frame every door and window in the home and fanatical attention to detail completes the living spaces. Start with the 27 x 40 foot, glass-on-three-sides LIVING-ROOM. There are full-sized banana trees - with bananas - in here! (The current owners actually play volleyball year-round). The open kitchen, dining, and family room is simply jaw-dropping. 23 x 18 feet - that's the cooking space - is a true gourmet chef's kitchen with granite counters, JENN-AIRE SIX Burner stove-top & high-velocity air exhaust, and stainless steel appliances. The center kitchen isle, with sink, microwave, and dishwasher, is 12 FEET LONG! Keep your eyes on the beach from virtually any room of this house, but what a riot of fun this meal-space is when watching the action through the massive windows. Enjoy every minute in the attached family room, with fireplace and balcony overlooking the lawn and beach in the distance, OR take in the mountain views from the 17-foot deck off the back of the house. Also on this upper floor is a full bathroom, with dual sinks, additional storage room, and an incredible guest bedroom (with private balcony) offering views that never stop. The other FOUR bedrooms are on the main floor of the home. The master suite should be a movie set. Windows-to-the-world and a private sitting balcony. Plus a master bathroom that is fit for a KING AND QUEEN, with glassed and tiled shower, his and her sinks, and a 12 x 8 foot walk-in closet. Two more large bedrooms plus an enormous full bath and a dedicated laundry room complete this side of the floor. On the opposite side of the grand entrance hall is 10x11 foot mudroom w/ access to the garage AND a 5th bedroom or home office (with sink). There is a full, high-ceiling basement (partially finished-55 x 30), with double doors to the lower patio space. The lawn is acres of tremendous beauty, stretching from the house to the lake with impressive Catskill Mountain views. This is true country living perfect for entertaining spring, summer, winter and fall. Enjoy your private beach! 7-zone RADIANT HEAT from a propane furnace...and CENTRAL AIR through out.
