THE RESIDENCE
The vibe is mid-century modern meets Scandinavian minimalism. Throughout the house are maple, pine and mixed species hardwood floors. The interiors strike a warm, modern chord, blending original architectural details with clean, functional design.

Every country home needs a great mudroom and kitchen: A sun-drenched mudroom with slate flooring leads into a chef’s kitchen featuring warm knotty pine cabinetry contrasted by sleek, new granite countertops.

Ready for intimate entertaining: The expansive dining room boasts original wood floor detailing, flowing effortlessly into a massive living area designed for relaxation.

Work from home: A dedicated first-floor home office provides a quiet sanctuary for remote work with reliable high-speed internet. For a change of pace, an upscale co-working collective is located just minutes away in the village.

Bed & bath: The second floor features two oversized bedrooms with custom built-in storage. The primary bath is a spa-like retreat with a double-sink vanity and a spacious walk-in shower. A second full bath on the main floor includes a soaking tub.

OUTDOOR LIVING
The property is designed for four-season enjoyment.

Outdoor dining & relaxing: A covered patio featuring an 8-seat dining set and Weber grill next to an exposed patio with Adirondack seating and fire pit—ideal for stargazing.. Tall grasses planted around perimeter for privacy.

The "River Sit": Enjoy shared access to the riverbank just outside your door for eagle-watching or early evening cocktails by the water.

Convenience: A two-car garage provides ample storage for outdoor gear and vehicles.

Pet-Friendly: Thoughtfully considered for the modern city expat/couple/family; well-behaved pets are welcome to join you in this riverside retreat.

COMMUNITY INFORMATION
The Lifestyle: Narrowsburg & Beyond

Narrowsburg is the cultural heartbeat of the Upper Delaware. Often cited as one of the best small towns in the Catskills, it offers a refined mix of the rural and the urbane.

Hiking, kayaking and fishing: What drew me to this community was the having so much nature right outside your door. Whether its kayaking on the Delaware River or hiking the Tusten Mountain Trail 8 minutes away, Sullivan County is an incredible balm to the body and mind.

Culture: Home to the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, the Big Eddy Film Festival, and the Deep Water Literary Festival.

Proximity: Just 20 minutes to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts (the historic 1969 Woodstock site) for world-class summer concerts and winter festivals. Easy excursions and day trips to Callicoon, Barryville, Livingston Manor, Roscoe, Andes,

Taste: Think seasonal farmers market, cool cafes, elevated farm-to-table dining and curated art galleries and a state of the art gym that looks over the river! Everything you need/want is within walking distance.

But, don't take my word for it. Here is a testimonial from the current tenants:

Jill is a very responsive landlord who cares deeply for this property. She has affectionately and meticulously renovated it, seamlessly integrating all the charm of the last mid-century and sleek comforts of the 21st. Its generously-proportioned, well-lit rooms have plenty of closets, vintage carpentry, and beautiful wood floors. Outside there is an amazing yard with flowering and fruiting trees, comfortable most-weather lanai and cozy fire pit. And the house’s siting is optimal so close to the peaceful river and still walkable to Main Street and its cultural offerings. There’s no place like it. 274 was a true sanctuary for us and we are sorry to have to leave it.  ❤️
