38 Elm Street,

Welcome to 38 Elm Street — a charming Folk Victorian built in 1895, once the town's original parsonage and still very much part of Pine Hill's story. Set along a quiet side road just a stone's throw from Main Street, this sunny, character-filled home makes you feel instantly at ease the moment you arrive. The full-width front porch is perfect for morning coffee and watching the seasons change. Inside, original features — including wood floors and a classic claw-foot tub — speak to the home's heritage, while the current owners have introduced thoughtful updates that improve flow and functionality and add a modern, creative aesthetic that works beautifully with its original character. The kitchen has been fully refreshed with new cabinetry, appliances, plumbing, tiling, and a 6-foot slider opening to the garden. The main level includes a living room, a dining room, and a third bedroom that is currently set up as a second living area. A laundry room and a guest powder room complete the main level. The entire house has been freshly painted, and the electric service has been upgraded to 200 amps. Additional updates include a Nest thermostat system and a Navien on-demand hot water heater, for comfort and efficiency. Upstairs are two further bedrooms, including a spacious primary, along with a full bath and a deep storage closet. Outdoors, there is a tranquil creekside yard with mature fruit and flowering trees and organic planting beds, creating a peaceful setting with plenty of space for gardening and outdoor enjoyment. The owners also created a second driveway providing off-street parking for at least four vehicles, added a modern Brad Barns 16x20 storage shed, introduced extensive landscaping including 35 new privet hedges, and installed an EV-ready charging outlet. Pine Hill is in the midst of an exciting revival, making this a wonderful time to join such a vibrant, creative and welcoming community. A new market and coffee shop are slated to open soon, and the Pine Hill Community Center — recently celebrating its Silver Jubilee — remains one of the most active hubs in the Catskills. Its programs span yoga, meditation, pottery, concerts, seasonal celebrations, community meals, and it is home to a fabulous thrift store and the Phoenicia winter farmers' market. And a short drive away are several charming villages offering a variety of shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, art galleries and essential amenities. For outdoor lovers, this location is exceptional. Belleayre Mountain — with its year-round calendar of events and soon-to-open 35-mile lift-served mountain biking network — is only a five-minute drive away. The new Rail Trail will link Pine Hill directly to Belleayre Beach and Belleayre Ski Resort, offering safe, scenic access from town to lake to mountain. And all around Pine Hill, the protected ''Forever Wild'' Catskill Forest Preserve offers waterfalls, ridge walks, overlooks, and miles of unspoiled wilderness. Pine Hill sits just over two hours from NYC by car, or via the Trailways bus, which stops right in town — much as it did when visitors first journeyed up from the city to enjoy the clean mountain air, mineral springs, and restorative landscape. This is a home you can enjoy from day one — whether as a city escape or a year-round residence.
