Overview
Thoughtfully reimagined and nestled into an expansive 13-acre property that spans from the edge of the Delaware River into the woods beyond, this is truly the ideal country retreat. Originally the barn to a much larger homestead, this stunning home has been renovated with a focus on preservation over the years, offering a captivating blend of historic charm and modern upgrades. A front porch of ipe wood greets you, inviting you to slow down and setting the tone for this special spot. The entire first floor is open and spacious with a cozy living room, oversized dining room, and chef’s kitchen. Whether you’re planning a weekend away or holidays with friends and family, this home can easily accommodate the whole crew! Recently renovated, the kitchen has a beautiful stone counter, Wolf range, and a butcher block center island. It adjoins a pantry/mudroom and leads right out to the bluestone patio. A full bathroom completes this level. All four bedrooms plus a bonus room/office and an adorable laundry room with built-in storage can be found upstairs. Each bedroom has high ceilings, ample closet space, and plenty of natural sunlight. The king-size primary has a tranquil en suite that has been beautifully upgraded with a new vanity and tile shower. Spend leisurely days walking the home’s acreage or tending to your veggies in the fenced in garden. The impressive bluestone patio is an entertainer’s dream as is the abundance of parking and it’s easy to picture hosting sun-dappled brunches and grand dinner parties under the stars. Mature apple and pear trees, magnolia, wisteria, and lilac dot the landscape joining a sprawling lawn and old growth pines to create a serene and majestic setting. The property also includes frontage on the Delaware River. Some recent upgrades include a new roof, renovated kitchen, renovated primary bath, whole house water filtration system, interior paint, new bluestone patio, and a new fenced garden with raised beds. The current owners also added a two story outbuilding with a one car garage and electric. Berm and Church is a mellow country road perched above the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway which spans 70 miles, easily connecting you to each and every amazing river town. This is the perfect home to roll into with a few days worth of groceries and truly leave it all behind but if you are up for exploring, you’re in luck! Cottage Wines, Churchill Collective, Foundry 42, Sullivan Public, the Barryville Farmers Market, River’s Edge, Barryville Oasis and many other great spots are 10-15 minutes away. Venture a little further for all that Narrowsburg has to offer and Bethel Woods, too! MetroNorth is under 20 minutes away in Port Jervis, and you’re less than 90 miles to the GWB in NYC.
