35 Woodland Avenue,

Built in 1911, "Penfield" is a classic American Foursquare house built by the prominent Cowen family and has been sensitively updated leaving all the fine details of its period but made very comfortable for modern life. The house sits squarely on 1/3-acre at the corner of two of Catskills' most charming neighborhood streets lined with other stately homes with architectural style.The house has a handsome design, a comfortable layout and spacious rooms throughout. The big front porch is perfect for summer sitting. Inside the front door is a wide and inviting entry foyer with a striking "stile" stairway connecting both the foyer and the kitchen to the upstairs. To the right, pocket doors to the living room with gas fireplace and leaded glass window and across the foyer, matching pocket doors to the spacious dining room with leaded glass window and period chandelier. Period appropriate Craftsman detail woodwork and William Morris wallpaper in the" Strawberry Thief" pattern unifies the spaces and lends a warm, historic charm to the main floor rooms. A long kitchen, with single piece dark soapstone counter top, deep porcelain farm sink, glass-lit display cabinets, hand made Italian ceramic white subway tile back splash, and an "in kitchen" dining alcove . All stainless Kitchen Aid appliances including a gas stove with double electric ovens (one convection), microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. Room for a big working center island makes this a "dream come true" chefs kitchen.Original butler's pantry off the kitchen has period details and great storage, and wet bar between kitchen and dining room for handy entertaining beverage service features a wine refrigerator, sink and cabinet storage. Back door sun room with laundry closet and great "mudroom" storage leading to kitchen. A new Trek Deck off the mudroom is great for outdoor grilling and summer dining.Upstairs, four bedrooms, three with ensuite baths with high end fixtures, hand made Italian ceramic tiles, soaking tubs and seamless glass showers. Great upstairs bedroom separation.Big walk-up attic for storage, dry basement with additional storage and a two car garage with deep driveway.New roofs on both house and garage in 2015. The lot has been carefully landscaped with every season flowering perennials and features a devoted potager kitchen garden.A short walk to the Hudson River and Main Street's cafes and shops. 10 mins to Hudson/Amtrak. 2 hours from NYC. A real gem.
