With ample room for outdoor cooking, dining and lounging, this space will undoubtedly become a major focal point of idyllic days and starry nights in your new home.Moving inside through the primary entrance, you’ll find yourself in the well-equipped kitchen, where style meets substance. Marbled white granite counters top a plentiful supply of lower shaker-style cabinets to store your gadgets, plus ample open upper shelving for displaying your dishware. Stainless appliances include a 5 burner propane range with hood and dishwasher. Above the sink, the picture window offers a view of the surrounding woods. The convenient island is an ideal coffee station or work from home base. Moving into the main living space, a wood stove anchors the cozy lounge area, and helps define the open floor plan. Flanked by two oversized picture windows on one side, and double sliders onto the deck on the other, the room is flooded with natural light and cocooned by woodsy views.

Turning off the main hallway leads past double hall closets to the primary suite. A large picture window anchors the space, and the generous en suite bath with glass and tile shower featrues a soaking tub with its own lovely views. A private entrance onto the terrace completes this serene space.A utility room with washer/dryer hookups plus several convenient closets complete the first floor.

Brown Settlement Road is an incredibly quiet stretch of country lane, not ‘on-the-way’ to anywhere. However, you’re still within fifteen minutes of all the amenities of Livingston Manor’s lively Main Street. Nearer to home, the Club Room at The DeBruce will likely become your local, and you can pick up all sorts of lovely local goods at Davidson’s General Store. Nearby hikes at Mongaup Pond and Frick Pond are among some of our favorites.
