Property Description

From the front porch of this c.1900 farmhouse, the soundtrack of the Lackawaxen River drifts clearly through the air-a constant, calming presence that mingles with birdsong and breeze. Perched on a gentle rise, the home looks out across sweeping views of the river and rolling hills, a seasonally changing canvas of light and color. The approach is a study in country charm: perennial gardens weave among natural rock formations, creating pockets of beauty that invite pause-quiet corners for morning coffee, a book, or conversation with friends. A stone patio and rocking-chair porch offer front-row seats to the eagles foraging over the water. Inside, the home retains its character from the early century with wainscoting, chair rails, and built-ins. The thoroughly modern kitchen is at the heart of the house, finished with slate counters, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. On one side of the home, a dining area opens for either quotidian or celebratory meals. There is also a corner sitting area with South and West light incoming, and the perennial sounds of the river. On the other side, the living space centers around a wood stove and a built-in reading nook with an uber cozy daybed. A fully renovated full bath is opposite the kitchen, which features a tiled, walk-in shower with a glass door, and laundry cleverly hidden behind a shade. Two staircases lead to the bedrooms above. Guest rooms, bright with views of the river, are reached by the first. The first bedroom has plenty of room for a queen or king-size bed and has built-in bookshelves. The adjacent bedroom is set up with two twin beds and feels enveloped by the warmth of the beadboard ceiling. The second stairway climbs to the primary suite-a sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, an open layout, and an open, en suite bath. The pedestal sink and bath are open to the room, with a separate WC. French doors spill onto a private deck bordered by gardens and wildflowers, leading to the backyard and a yoga platform. A large shed serves as a repository for all things gardening. It also has a convenient, covered firewood storage area. Set on a very quiet, dead-end road, this farmhouse offers not only peace and privacy but also a deep connection to nature. With the river's song as your constant soundtrack, it is a place to slow down, savor, and stay awhile. Located just across the iconic Roebling Bridge (Roebling's first suspension project, pre-Brooklyn Bridge), the sweet river towns of Barryville and Narrowsburg are easily ac
