Property Description
Welcome to Ainslie Bungalow, a charming 1920s Arts and Crafts Homestead on a country lane in Big Indian. Framed by evergreens and mountain views, this storybook property sits on a peaceful lot with perennial gardens, fruit trees, and raised cedar garden beds. Stylishly updated with respect for its original character, the property is conveniently located near towns and amenities, but feels tucked away in a secret cove of the Catskills. The main floor offers a cozy, well-appointed layout, beginning with a welcoming living room anchored by a new energy-efficient wood stove and custom tile surround. An adjacent dining area includes a floating bar and built-in cabinetry, and flows into the country kitchen with original hardwood cabinets, a farmhouse sink, Bosch appliances, and mosaic tile flooring. A front office adorned with timeless William Morris wallpaper and custom shelving offers a quiet space to work or create. Just off the dining room, a convenient first-floor bedroom connects to a fully renovated bath with a classic clawfoot soaking tub. A large mudroom with laundry and built-in storage completes the first floor, adding practicality to the home’s thoughtful design. Upstairs, two charming bedrooms with skylights are connected by a hallway lined with vintage woodwork and wallpaper. A newly added full bath includes a marble-top vanity, walk-in shower, and salvaged pocket door with original pressed glass. The finished lower level, not included in the listed square footage, adds flexible living space for a den, media room, or guest quarters. Throughout the home, original hardwood floors, Craftsman doors, and restored trim speak to the home's enduring craftsmanship. Outside, enjoy morning coffee on the classic rocking chair front porch, garden strolls through the fenced yard, and quiet evenings in the cedar barrel hot tub watching the sun set behind the mountains. A detached barn with a full second story offers additional storage or the potential for future studio or guest space. Upgrades include a new septic system, new fencing, generator hookup, and updated systems throughout. Secluded but not isolated, the home offers easy access to skiing, hiking, and swimming at nearby Belleayre Mountain, Panther Mountain, and the Esopus Creek. With the quaint town of Phoenicia close by and a bus to NYC right at the end of the road, Ainslie Bungalow offers convenience, character, and classic Catskills charm.
