16 Carriage House Road, Catskill

Welcome to The Carriage House: Set quietly on a private road atop a gentle hill, this 1840s Carriage House has been thoughtfully transformed over the past 40 years by the region's premier historic restoration company into a one-of-a-kind gracious home and lifestyle. As you enter inside you're met with an immediate sense of comfort, warmth, and peacefulness.

From the kitchen, dining area, and living room, you'll take in sweeping, panoramic views of the Catskill Mountains -- the very same vista that inspired painter Thomas Cole from his own estate just down the road. It's a rare thing to share a view with the birthplace of American landscape painting.

The heart of the home is a kitchen with hand-crafted solid cherry cabinets, abundant storage, and generous granite counter space, along with a wine and beverage cooler and a dedicated coffee station. Two ovens make this a kitchen built for real cooking and real gathering.

Hardwood floors run throughout, carrying that same warmth from the kitchen into the living room and beyond. A foyer welcomes you into the living room, a generously sized space with room for a large gathering area as well as a quieter nook for relaxing on your own.

The dining room is generously sized for a long gathering table, with a woodstove insert adding warmth on cooler evenings and a cozy corner made for curling up with a book. French doors open to an intimate deck overlooking the mountains -- the kind of spot for an early morning coffee while the birds greet the day, or a quiet glass of wine as it winds down. A Dutch door off the kitchen leads to a second, expansive newly installed deck, ideal for al fresco dinners and entertaining as the sun sets over the Catskills.

Four bedrooms and 2.5 baths give this home flexibility for guests or work-from-home living. One bedroom currently serves as a home office and yoga space, easily adapted to fit however you live. The primary suite is a true retreat, with cathedral ceilings that open the room up and let the light in.

The property itself may be the home's greatest feature: over 2.3 acres of privacy, with lush perennial gardens and room to play, garden, or add a pool. Outdoor living areas include a fieldstone fireplace and patio, plus a quiet sitting area on the south side of the home overlooking the gardens. A three-car garage includes stairs to a full attic above, offering substantial additional storage.

Private and peaceful, yet just a short walk to downtown Catskill -- a village known for its creative energy, riverfront access, and small-town charm. Enjoy boating on the Hudson, kayaking on Catskill Creek, the Sunday Farmers Market, First Fridays on Main Street, and performances at Bridge Street Theatre. The Hudson River Skywalk connects the nearby Thomas Cole House to Olana State Park for one of the Hudson Valley's most scenic walks.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Catskill's artistic history, re-imagined for the way people want to live today.
