Boband House
Jeffersonville, NY
$495,000

Idyllically nestled on almost two acres surrounded by verdant woods, this furnished country retreat wraps rustic charm into a comfortable modern build, leaving you with nothing to do but move in or start earning rental income on Airbnb. Wide-plank hardwood flooring, two wood-burning hearths, antique radiators, and crown moldings reminisce of yesteryear, while a more recent construction, with a newer roof, updated boiler, high speed internet, and a functional layout provide livability for today.

The House Tour. A portico welcomes you into the elegant home where there is an inviting entry foyer. The sizable living room can be configured to accommodate a variety of furniture and boasts all-day natural sunlight streaming through multiple windows. Sip fireside cocktails while enjoying vintage records and lively conversation by the wood-burning fireplace. The bright and airy eat-in kitchen is equipped with a prep island, abundant cabinetry, a pair of useful pantry closets, a gas range, and a dishwasher. There is a half bathroom conveniently located on this level. Outdoor living and entertaining are easily attained with the expansive covered back porch that is perfect for your morning coffee and evening sunsets and barbecues. A must-have Catskills firepit and fenced-in garden are also found outdoors.

Upstairs are three separate bedrooms, including a king-size primary with a wood-burning fireplace, dual closets, space for a sitting area and ample furniture, and a triple exposure with six windows. The Scandi-farmhouse inspired second bedroom is a serene guest space with painted wide-plank floors and a generous closet, and the third bedroom is an ideal home office or cozy guest quarters overlooking treetops and the lush lawn. There is also a quaint windowed full bath with a tub and shower. 

The cavernous basement has been partially finished. The finished space, with cedar shiplap adorned walls, can be utilized as a family room, rec room, work studio, gym, or guest space. The unfinished section houses a utility room with full-size washer/dryer and utility sink and plenty of room for storage.

The Area. A pleasant two-hour trip from New York City, the central Sullivan County Catskills location offers easy access to trending hot spots and is only 10 minutes to Jeffersonville’s vibrant downtown with its cafes, restaurants, bakeries, grocery store, beer garden, vintage boutiques, art shops, and wine stores, and a mere 15 minutes to popular Livingston Manor and North Branch’s fine dining.
