Description
An unexpected oasis just off a quietly bustling street, The Van Dyke offers a wilderness cure while still being connected. The home was built around 1920, on the site of the current Roscoe Central School. In 1939, it was moved to its current hilltop location and has been immaculately maintained ever since. This recently restored home is a short walking distance to Roscoe's charming row of restaurants and fly shops and is under two hours from New York City. The home's current, and only third, owner worked with an old home expert to both modernize and restore the structure's original character. He then added a layer of antique pieces and different textures that lean into the Catskills lodge style. All furniture and contents, with the exception of artwork and personal items, are included in the sale of The Van Dyke, making this truly a turnkey home. The first floor is anchored by a sunny living room with its cozy wood stove. Next is a formal dining room, where layers of old wallpaper have been left exposed as a design nod to the home's history. A retro kitchen offers ample space for home chefs while guests serenade from the foyer's piano. A full, and fully renovated, bathroom and an adjacent bonus space (perfect for working from home or as an Airbnb owner's room) round out the first level. An art-filled stairwell leads to three second story bedrooms and a full shared bathroom. Down the basement stairs, there is an infrared sauna and loads of storage space, along with multiple workshop areas and a one-car garage. A flat roof patio reminiscent of city rooftops extends from the dining room, ideal for sunbathing, grilling and dining al fresco. The grounds are lush with hostas and wildflowers and additional dining in the shade. This retreat offers the best of both worlds - a basecamp for all your outdoor adventures without sacrificing access to restaurants, shops and essentials. Surrounded by forests and rivers, numerous fishing spots, swimming holes and hiking trails, this location is ideal as a weekend getaway, co-primary home or full time residence.
