When perfection called, 5 Orchard Street answered.
Well-cared for and much loved, this 3 bedroom village home is move-in ready. Leverage everything a Great Western Catskills town has to offer: community, a sense of belonging, easy walking access to town, including the business of the county seat.
Sublimely understated, and a tribute to vintage design, each room of this manageable home exudes character and personality – from the moment you pass the classic solid wood front door, with beveled glass and crank doorbell, you know you’re in a special property. The drawing room has solid wood herringbone floors, high ceilings, and is illuminated by two handsome windows. The central dining room is further enhanced by the low-profile coffered ceiling, two more windows, a quintessential built-in break-front, and easy access to the kitchen, and a half bath.
The kitchen is a study in elemental design and function. Anchored by the vintage double washboard farm sink to the thoroughly modern STAINLESS STEEL ITALIAN-MADE CHEF’S stove and FISHER & PAYKEL refrigerator, this is a space Irma Rombauer would be proud to inhabit. Hear the conversation from the spacious back yard through the screen door on a warm summer evening as the ice swirls and gently clinks in the pitcher of your favorite beverages. Head upstairs, from either the rear stairs off the kitchen, or the hand-carved-finial-banistered-stairs in the central entrance hall. A central modern full bath conveniently serves all three bedrooms, each of which has tremendous silver radiators, gorgeous hardwood doors, and ample closet spaces. A full basement is divided for utilities and storage, and a great workspace, and laundry hook-up.
Newer roof and boiler, plus all modern electric (even the 50amp sub panel in the work-shed). That shed is in the back yard, which feels like an oasis. Unusual in that it is lower than the adjoining properties, the lawn feels significantly more spacious than its 0.18 acres would suggest.
There is an off-street, open-sided carport that means safe, weather-protected storage for a large car or more. Enjoy life in the village! Few homes in the village can share in the simple elegance of period vernacular expressed here.
