A home tucked into the trees, with Chestnut Creek and the Catskill Park as your neighbors. Set back from the road and surrounded by mature trees, Chestnut Creek House offers a moment of pause from the pace of everyday life. The sound of the creek follows you through much of the house, but nowhere is it more enjoyable than the sunroom overlooking the water. From here, step onto the back deck for a soak in the hot tub, then wander into a small clearing in the woods that feels made for long lunches, afternoon picnics, and quiet evenings beneath the trees. Inside, the home unfolds from the covered porch into a large open kitchen with a separate dining nook and access to a front deck, the perfect perch for a first cup of coffee as the first light of day breaks. A first-floor bedroom and full bathroom offer an easy single-level living arrangement. Toward the rear of the home, the living room looks out toward the forest and centers around a wood stove, inviting you to settle in as the seasons change. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms and a second full bathroom offer room for family and guests, with the melodic sound of the creek carrying up from below. A full unfinished basement adds another layer of potential, currently accommodating a garage and laundry area with ample room to create a home gym, recreation room, workshop, or whatever the next chapter calls for. The current owner has made substantial improvements, including a new back deck, upgraded electrical, renovated bathrooms, fresh interior and exterior paint, new gutters, a new hot tub, and a new water heater. The property is serviced by a private well and municipal sewer. Located in Neversink at the southern edge of the Catskill Park, this is a place for days spent hiking, fishing, exploring, or simply listening to the creek from the porch. Livingston Manor and Minnewaska State Park are less than 30 minutes away, Belleayre Mountain is approximately 45 minutes, and Manhattan is about 100 miles from your front door. Here, the days seem to slow themselves down. The creek keeps moving, the trees keep watch, and there is nowhere in particular you need to be.
