Its original bones have been preserved and a high end kitchen and beautiful bath have been added.

The grounds have been stunningly landscaped by published garden designer, Dean Riddle, who with both stone work and thoughtfully chosen plantings has created layers of visual interest which extend throughout all 4 seasons. Outdoor lighting is by Jan Moyer. The back yard has a sweeping meadow vista down to the woods and a trail to the 220 feet of Kaaterskill Creek access. Have your own private oasis (literally!) when everyone is seeking that private swimming hole, you can just walk out your back door for a dip.
