130 Route 42, Shandaken, NY 12480

Welcome to Streamside, a waterfront, light-filled, country-chic farmhouse in the heart of the Catskill Park that is full of heart and offers plenty of room to roam. When you sit on the rocking chair porch or by the water and listen to its gentle sounds, it will be hard to imagine being anywhere else! Originally built in 1889, this move-in ready creekside cutie has been much loved, and smartly updated over time without the inherent warmth and character of the place being sacrificed. Some of its features are the most sought after in the area - here you will have your own private swimming hole in the Bushkill creek along with mountain views, and a sprawling parcel that is an outdoor lovers dream.  The house has an open floor plan that shows off the gourmet kitchen which spills over to the dining area, generous living area, full bathroom, and an extra den also currently being used as an art studio.  As you wander, you can't help notice the countless windows, gorgeous hard wood floors and the wood stove on its beautiful brick hearth framed by giant floor to ceiling windows.  Use the wood stove to heat the whole place, with baseboard electric as back up, plus there is a bonus corn stove too! Upstairs you will find two bedrooms and a half bath.  As cozy and cute as the interior is, the great outdoors awaits you here, with the ample back yard leading out to easy swimming access in the creek and to a private hiking trail that you can head up about .2 miles to a wonderful plateau where a campsite, fire pit and picnic table await your cookouts and camp outs! But you can keep hiking if you like because here you have 22.4 acres total that all back Forever Wild state land.  This is a  paradise for snowshoeing, ATVing, hunting, and practicing for the Catskill 3500 Club! You're just five minutes from the ever-lovable village of Phoenicia, and just minutes to Belleayre Mountain, the Westkill Brewery, Pine Hill Lake, and so many other adventures that await you in this amazing area!
