Description
Just outside the Village of Catskill, along a cul-de-sac road where mornings feel softer and days seem to unfold at a gentler pace, The Craftsman at 9 N Jefferson Ave is the kind of place where when you pull into the driveway, your heart flutters with excitement knowing you've arrived home. Built in 1910 and thoughtfully renovated in 2013, the home retains the soul of its original architecture while offering the kind of updates that make life feel easy, comfortable, and beautifully connected. Natural light dances throughout from morning to evening, softening the edges of the day and making every space feel calm, grounded, and welcoming. As you enter, the all-season front porch sets the tone creating a spacious, sun-washed room that's perfect for coffee, quiet reading, or simply watching the neighborhood. Inside, the flow feels effortless, with a comfortable living room, a dedicated dining room, and a charming front library/office space that invites you to settle in with ease. At the heart of the home is a true chef's kitchen crafted for cooking, gathering, and celebrating. Stainless steel appliances surround a Wolf 6-burner convection stove with griddle, dual ovens, and pot filler. Granite counters, a center island with chopping block countertop, a farmhouse sink paired with a copper prep sink, a wine cooler, breakfast bar, and a convenient half bath make this kitchen both beautiful and deeply functional. The first-floor primary suite offers a private retreat with a generous sitting area, large walk-in closet, washer/dryer closet, and a spa-like bathroom featuring a claw foot soaking tub, and separate tile shower. Upstairs, two additional spacious bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, share a full bath and a cozy loft space perfect for meditating, working, or unwinding. Downstairs, the finished basement expands the home's lifestyle possibilities with an entertainment area, fitness room, workshop space, and multiple storage rooms. Home features radiant heat on the main floor, a small-duct high-velocity heating and cooling system throughout, on-demand HW, and municipal water/sewer. Outside, Kitchen sliders open onto a large back deck with retractable sun shade, trex decking and a large stone paver patio. This outdoor entertaining haven features a Covered outdoor kitchen with built-in Lynx BBQ dual grills, prep sink, cooler, drawers, and an outdoor brick pizza oven, taking the al fresco dining experience to another level. The surrounding Perennial landscaping with wildflowers and a low-maintenance hardscaping create a peaceful, easy-care environment with strategically placed green spaces. And if the house and grounds at The Craftsman weren't spectacular enough, there is a three-car detached garage that is fully finished with heat, air conditioning, a half bath, and a slop sink creating an ideal spot for a studio, creative workspace, or your favorite vehicles. When you're ready to venture from your home paradise and explore, the best of the Hudson Valley is right outside your door. The Catskill Creek and Hudson River are minutes away for kayaking, fishing, and waterfront walks. Daily adventures come easily from various farmers markets, nature trails, riverfront parks, to antiques, art galleries, performing arts spaces, breweries, wineries, distilleries, dining, bars, and easy going hangout spots. Skiing at Hunter and Windham is a short drive, and Hudson's Warren Street and Amtrak station are moments away. Surrounding towns like Athens, Coxsackie, Saugerties, Woodstock, and the City of Albany offer even more places to explore. With so much happening all within a few miles' reach, The Craftsman at 9 N Jefferson Ave is the perfect home base for living, exploring, and enjoying everything the Hudson Valley has to offer!
