Open House: Saturday, January 6th, 11am-1pm. Please RSVP to erica@catskillmountainhouses.com

Welcome to The Towner, a newly gut renovated designer 1920’s home offering country vibes within walking distance to popular “in town” amenities in picturesque Narrowsburg on the Delaware River. Reimagined in 2023 by Major Jacks with notes of Scandi, farmhouse, and cottage luxe, The Towner feels brand new with custom finishes while retaining some original details and vintage charms.  

House Tour. The front door opens to a foyer showcasing the original staircase and hints of chic solid wood flooring found throughout the main floor. Hang your hat and tuck your boots into a secret cubby before settling in. 

Travel down the hallway into the heart of the home, a fully equipped chef’s kitchen with a grand central island to gather guests, gas range, dishwasher, and loads of storage. Off the kitchen, find three flexible rooms. The first, a white washed extension currently set up as a dining room, has cathedral ceilings, a custom built-in bar, and glass sliders that lead to the back deck. On the opposite side, find a cozy den which could function as a larger, formal dining room, or can be closed off with two glass doors as private main floor sleeping or studio quarters. The third artery leads to the large living room with a dramatic gas fireplace for cozy winter scenes. Also on this level, find a full bathroom with a shower cleverly tucked under the stair. 

Venture upstairs to find whitewashed original floors grounding three bedrooms, the largest of which can easily accommodate a king sized bed and additional furniture. Attic access from this space might also inspire possible expansion. The second bedroom accommodates a queen sized bed. Five generous closets - including two cedar closets - on this level provide ample storage. There is a windowed full bathroom with a soaking apron front tub, marble floors, custom vanity, and antique medicine cabinet. 

As a bonus, a finished basement laundry room with washer/dryer hook-ups doubles as a mudroom conveniently accessed from either the kitchen or a side door, keeping the party in front and business in back. 

Some stylish furnishings are included, with others available for purchase, making this a truly turn-key home. Check out the brochure above for details, floor plan, and other practical elements.

The Grounds. The house is tucked into a country quarter affectionately known as “The Flats” where you can stroll out your front door for a pleasant loop along the Delaware River, and likely run into friendly neighbors. The property is nicely buffered by a generous backyard to be admired over bar-b-ques and fire pits from the new deck. With popular restaurants, shopping, and conveniences within a 3 to 10-minute walk, make Main Street Narrowsburg an extension of your mode de vie, and satisfy your country life dreams without sacrificing your morning walk to the coffee shop or farmer’s market. 

Not to be overlooked is a detached two-door garage - with new electric - offering loads of additional workshop or creative space.

The Area. Experience the quiet of country life all within minutes to conveniences and adventure in the Delaware River Valley. The Towner is an ideal basecamp for all your “in town” and outdoor explorations. Venture just 10 minutes by car to hike the Tusten Trail or to raft the river rapids, or 20 minutes to Callicoon amenities or the Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center. Accessible to New York City by car in less than two hours makes for an easy trip from the city for a country escape or a full-time change of pace.
