Welcome to the Stucco House, a rare and charming opportunity to own a piece of the Catskills' golden era. Originally built in 1944, this beautifully preserved home once served as a boarding house on Eva's Farm, one of the most popular mid-20th century family resorts in the region. Bursting with character, history, and unique architectural features, this property seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern potential. Nestled on a beautifully land-sculpted one-acre lot, this timeless two-story home captures the essence of whimsical charm. A white picket fence frames the property, inviting you in along cobblestone walkways that lead to a sweeping, covered front porch - perfect for rocking chairs and morning coffee. The home's vintage character is preserved in its thoughtful details, offering a blend of historic warmth and beauty. The spacious first floor living area showcases elegant hardwood floors, stunning staircase leading to the second floor & windows throughout. A beautifully crafted custom kitchen with onyx countertops with an adjoining dining area is great for entertaining. The full bathroom features a relaxing soaking tub. Two well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample flexibility-one of which presents an exciting opportunity to be reimagined as a luxurious primary suite, complete with a private enclosed shower accessible from the back deck. The second floor offers both interior and private exterior access, making it perfect for flexible living arrangements. It includes a versatile foyer area - ideal as a home office, a separate sitting area with bay windows affording an abundance of natural light, two cozy bedrooms and a full bathroom with shower. Outside you'll step into your own private paradise! Off the back covered porch, a charming pergola draped in blooming wisteria and fragrant trumpet vines invites relaxation and outdoor living. There is the serenity of a koi pond nestled among graceful bamboo and nearby fire-pit perfect for outdoor entertaining. There are vibrant flower gardens that bloom from spring to fall as well as a fruit orchard boasting peach, pear and apricot trees to name just a few. For the green thumb, there's a spacious greenhouse and dedicated vegetable garden space. A second pergola with a swinging hammock offers the perfect invitation to unwind with a book and glass of wine. The new above-ground pool provides the ability to cool off during the hot & humid summer months. Along with several outbuildings, there is a heated studio perfect for all artisans!
