This fully renovated Dutch Colonial style home, located in the Delhi School District and set on 21.81 acres of rolling Western Catskills terrain offers an appealing blend of modern updates with pristine natural surroundings. The home is set down a pleasant gravel driveway, and then the broad lawn area opens up into view, showcasing the home's entry deck and upstairs balcony with southerly exposure, an expansive area for lawn games, and a charming spring-fed pond. Trails extend throughout the parcel, making this ideal for a number of recreational pursuits, and the stone wall boundaries add the the charm. Inside, a complete interior makeover brings the space to life with updated flooring, paint colors, and bright and efficient lighting fixtures. The entry room is a great place for a home office, large storage/mudroom, studio, or multi-use space. The main living room is open to the dining area and kitchen with stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter and cabinet space.
