48 River Road, Barryville, NY
Private Delaware River Access | Historic Charm | Small Town Feels
They say you can't step into the same river twice—but at 48 River Road, you just might want to. With private stairs leading to your own riverfront landing, this Barryville home offers a rare and intimate connection to the Delaware, perfect for tubing, swimming, or simply watching bald eagles glide overhead.
The front porch is made for morning coffee with river views, while the rear deck is designed for summer gatherings. French doors open from the chef's kitchen, where there's space to cook, prep, and entertain at the expansive island that is perfect for gathering with friends while the host puts the finishing touch on dinner. A built-in dining nook adds charm, and the formal dining room offers room for a large table, bar area, and woodstove—ideal for cozy nights in cooler months. Original woodwork adds warmth and character throughout.
The main floor also includes a guest powder room and two distinct living areas—one facing the river with bright light and breezes, the other currently set up as a reading room.
Upstairs, the large primary bedroom features curved windows, a walk-in closet, and connects to an additional room, currently used as an office. A second bedroom overlooks the river, and a sitting room facing the water makes an inspiring space for music or work. The spacious bathroom includes a walk-in shower, and the laundry is conveniently located on this floor.
The third floor offers an additional bedroom with space for a desk or creative setup, plus a large unfinished attic space for ample storage.
Outside, the property features mature landscaping, a detached garage, hot tub, outdoor shower, and a sunny backyard with river glimpses. A garden now sits in the embankment of the old Shola-Barryville Suspension Bridge— filled with herbs and flowers. The private stairs to the Delaware River are also against the old embankment; it's just so cool.
Lovingly cared for by the same owners for over 40 years, 48 River Road is a rare Catskills retreat—full of history, character, and private access to one of the most beloved stretches of the Delaware River. Just over two hours from NYC, but truly a world away.
