337 Collins Terrace, Delhi NY

Private mountain setting minutes from the village -- with a view that runs for miles.

Set at the end of a newly paved, town-maintained road, this traditional Federal-style home occupies the top of its own private world. Sitting on the wrap around porch, you are literally at the same level as eagles floating on the rising thermoclines above the Delaware River valley. There are no neighbors in sight -- only the village of Delhi spread out below, working farms tucked into the hillsides beyond it, and on a clear day, visible mountain peaks ring the property. The property is seven minutes from the village and the Delaware Academy and SUNY Delhi campuses.

*** The Porch ***

The three-sided wraparound porch is the heart of the place -- white colonial balusters, room for rocking chairs, and a mountain view down the Delaware River valley. A massive oval hydrangea, some 25 feet across, anchors one side of the house; two apple trees and an abundance of blackberry bushes round out the grounds.

*** First Floor ***

Inside, a center hall entry with a cathedral ceiling and Mexican-style ceramic tile sets the tone, its oak banistered staircase rising to a half-landing, then turning to complete the rise to the second floor is simple yet handsome. The main level opens into a generous living room with recessed lighting and its own door to the porch. A dedicated dining room, complete with a centered chandelier, offers spectacular views for every gathering. Finished solid oak flooring throughout is easy to clean and maintain. The farm-house style kitchen is anchored by a splendid picture window. This is a genuine gathering space -- stainless steel appliances, wood cabinets, Formica counters, and a hand-painted fruit-and-herb tile backsplash, a its own door to the porch and doorways to the dining room and hallway. A half bath is just down the hall, and a very useful laundry room with separate shelved pantry.

*** Second Floor ***

Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers an en suite bath with a double vanity, jetted tub, and shower stall, plus two walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath down the hall, and all three bedrooms feature ceiling fans.

*** Basement ***

The finished basement adds a recreation and living area with a full bath (shower), an office or library space, and an additional slop sink room with storage -- along with the home's utility room. Think game-night, or movies with the entire crew!

*** Artist Studio ***

Above the detached two-car garage, a 450-square-foot heated art studio offers extra-height ceilings, a ceiling fan, large windows, and laminate engineered wood flooring, wired for high-speed WiFi. A built-in wooden storage cabinet with an antique wood countertop runs the length of one wall, and the space includes a sink, and there's even a half bath. The room's downtown-loft character lends itself equally well to a yoga studio, gym, or detached home office.

*** The Land ***

337 Collins Terrace spans 20.75 acres across three separate lots -- 7.85, 7.22, and 5.7 acres -- each with its own deed and tax ID. Trails allow easy access to all three parcels. That structure gives a new owner flexibility: sell one or both of the additional lots, or build separate homes on them.

House and studio are served by a private septic (pumped 2023) and private well (new pump, 2023). Metal roof and siding on both buildings were completed in 2001, the same year the two-car garage and studio were built.
