DESCRIPTION

Before you enter the house, just listen.  One thing stands out about this home above all else, the rushing sound of the fox hollow creek, just feet behind this turnkey cottage in the mountains.  Welcome to fox hollow, a one bedroom, one bath home on a quiet dead end road that leads to the expansive slide mountain wilderness of the catskills.  The home is completely turnkey, with a full renovation undertaken during the current owner’s tenure.  Between 2021 and 2023, the kitchen and bathroom were completely re-done, the foundation reinforced, a ductless mini split added, new windows installed, and the roof and gutters replaced.  To top that off, the home is sold fully furnished.  Envision yourself dipping in the refreshing creek before summer is over! the home is light filled and airy with a lofted ceiling in the open concept living area.  Sliding doors lead to a large deck on one side of the home, and a screened porch occupies the back side of the house, overlooking the creek.  The bathroom was re-done in light tile, and features a standing shower.  The home also has a combination washer and dryer.  Skylights in the living room and bedroom contribute to a light and peaceful feel throughout.  The bedroom has an electric baseboard heater, and the living room’s ductless mini split can heat or cool depending on the season.  The propane fireplace is functional, but currently lacks a propane tank to fuel the unit.  The home is designed for outdoor living.  Dine on the deck, or sit by the fire, but before you do either, descend the footpath to the creekside and dip your feet (or more) in the cool, rushing water.  Just up the road is the fox hollow trailhead, which weaves high up to panther mountain and giant ledge.  There is no shortage of outdoor recreation here, the famed fly fishing of the esopus creek is a short walk away too.  Phoenicia’s conveniences are less than 10 minutes away, and for winter enthusiasts, belleayre mountain is less than 15.  The screened porch could potentially be walled off to create a full time second bedroom, but until then, enjoy a nap or a book with the cool breeze from the creek just feet from you.  Despite the proximity of the creek, the home has never flooded, and does not require flood insurance from the seller’s lender.  Your catskills getaway is ready and waiting at fox hollow.
