Picture summer at 371 Grooville Road: a basket packed at the kitchen table, a walk through 40 private acres of forest, an afternoon spent at the edge of your own swimming pond. This 1940s Catskills farmhouse was renovated with a designer's eye by its current owner, and it shows, freshly painted wood siding, a Dutch door entry, and a kitchen made for cooking with what's in season, with a Smeg range, wood island, marble counters and decorative tile. Wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed beams, and tongue-and-groove ceilings run throughout, and the great room's stone fireplace anchors long evenings in. Two bedrooms, two fully renovated bathrooms, one with Waterworks unlacquered brass fixtures and zellige tile, split across two easy floors. Outside, a covered porch and stone patio lead up bluestone steps to a fire pit and seating area, the kind built for lingering. A creek runs the length of the property, with a short hike to your own spring-fed swimming pond and dock. It's turn key and quietly systems-current: roof, septic, mini-split, spray foam insulation, and an automatic whole-house generator all recently updated. The only work left is deciding how you'll spend your first weekend here. Minutes to Livingston Manor and Roscoe, two hours from NYC. Equally suited to full-time living or short-term rental.
