Welcome to 1521 Wittenberg Road – a serene and special retreat nestled in the heart of Mt. Tremper, just minutes from Phoenicia and a scenic 10-minute drive to Woodstock. This well-maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the kind of peace and privacy that’s increasingly rare.
Set on a lush lot with mature plantings, flowering dogwoods, blooming rhododendrons, and a small meandering stream, the property enjoys some mountain views and a tranquil, park-like atmosphere. Inside, the home is filled with natural light, and the ample sized rooms are airy and bright. The living room is anchored by a striking natural stone constructed, wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy focal point for mountain evenings. Just off the living space, a new 8-foot sliding glass door opens to the deck, ideal for outdoor dining or morning coffee amid the verdant landscape.
Thoughtful updates include a new water heater, upgraded insulation, new refrigerator, and various exterior improvements. The hardwood floors are in excellent condition, and the entire interior was professionally painted just a few years ago. Both bedrooms are generously sized with plenty of storage and peaceful views in every direction.
A detached two-car garage offers added flexibility for storage, a studio, or workshop space. The septic system has been recently serviced, and the property lies within the protected NYC Watershed—underscoring its pristine environment.
And while the setting is quiet and rural, you’re within walking distance to Oliver’s and The Pines, two local favorites, and just down the road from the Phoenicia Diner and countless Catskill adventures. The Trailways bus from NYC stops nearby, making weekend getaways refreshingly simple.
Mt. Tremper is celebrated for its natural splendor, creative spirit, and easy access to hiking, swimming holes, and vibrant small towns. Whether you’re seeking a weekend escape or a full-time home, 1521 Wittenberg Road delivers a rare balance of comfort, beauty, and connection to the outdoors.
