Property Description

Escape to your own private woodland sanctuary at 747 Crystal Meadows, set on five private acres in the heart of the Catskills. This custom-built, three-level home offers contemporary rustic living with the kind of consistent stewardship that shows in every detail -- a true retreat for full-time living, weekend getaways, or creative work. Inside, knotty pine walls and gleaming hardwood floors create a warm, cabin-like atmosphere from the moment you enter. The living room is the heart of the home, featuring soaring vaulted pine ceilings, a stone-surround wood-burning stove, and an oversized picture window that frames sweeping forest views and floods the space with natural light. The kitchen pairs stainless steel appliances -- including a professional gas range with hood -- with warm wood cabinetry, sage-green countertops, and hand-painted tile accents, offering both everyday function and real character. The adjoining living space carries the same vaulted ceilings and abundant light, ideal for movie nights or quiet evenings by the fire. The main level includes two peaceful, pine-clad bedrooms with windows overlooking the wooded landscape, plus a bathroom finished with a glass-enclosed shower, botanical wallpaper, and pine wainscoting. Upstairs, a versatile loft offers a third bedroom, office, or media room, complete with a balcony overlooking the living space below -- a treehouse feel, with all the comforts of home. The partially finished basement adds a half bath, laundry, and a hand-crafted wet bar with mounted TV, perfect for entertaining. Recent capital improvements include a new metal roof (2019), all-new windows (2022), and rich ash wood flooring throughout. The property is serviced by pure Catskill spring water with modern UV filtration, 200-amp electrical service, and a 1-car garage. Outside, large wraparound decks include a roofed section for rain coverage and a retractable electric shade for sun protection, creating comfortable outdoor living in any weather. The wooded yard features mature plantings, a firepit, sitting areas, generous exterior storage, and whimsical hidden carvings tucked throughout the grounds. 747 Crystal Meadows is Catskill Country Living at its most quietly extraordinary -- a thoughtfully upgraded, well-maintained sanctuary ready for your next chapter. Come experience this five-acre dream for yourself.
