70 Erie Avenue, Narrowsburg

In the heart of Narrowsburg, where the Delaware River's Big Eddy bends in a wide, gleaming arc, stands a stately Dutch Colonial with a history as captivating as its setting. Built in the 1860s by the Stranahan family—founders of the town's General Store in 1853—this home remained in their care for over a century before being thoughtfully restored by its current owners in 2017. Today, it balances historic gravitas with modern sophistication, offering nearly an acre of pastoral grounds within easy walking distance to Narrowsburg's restaurants, shops, and galleries. • Inside, soaring ten-foot ceilings bring an unexpected sense of volume and light. The Great Room, with exposures to the east, south, and west, glows all day long and dazzles with sunsets by evening. Custom built-ins frame a hidden wet bar, and a monumental wood-burning fireplace anchors the space with warmth. Across the hall, the formal dining room—with its designer chandelier, sconces, and bespoke square table seating twelve—sets the stage for memorable gatherings. • At the heart of the home lies a 400-square-foot chef's kitchen, its three walls of windows spilling in natural light. A twelve-foot island, professional appliances, double ovens, and a butler's pantry with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry create a workspace that is both functional and inspiring. • The home's four bedrooms, two of which have en-suite spa baths, provide restful retreats. The primary suite features a soaking tub, a double vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower, while another boasts a two-person tub and a large terrace with an outdoor shower. All bathrooms feature heated marble floors for year-round comfort. • Additional amenities abound: a finished gym and lounge in the detached two-story garage, a Nest-controlled climate system, multiple wet bars, whole-house water filtration, and an eight-person outdoor swim spa/hot tub. The property is fully fenced, offering both privacy and security, with the charm of town life just steps beyond the gate. There is plenty of room to add a pool.• This rare offering combines the elegance of history with the ease of modern living—a home equally suited to convivial entertaining or quiet retreat, set in one of the Catskills' most beloved river towns. *The sale includes indoor and outdoor furniture, as well as gym equipment.
