163 Elk Point Rd Livingston Manor, NY 12758

Beautifully remodeled in 2018, Elk Point strikes the balance between elevated and down to earth. The first topic of conversation when you walk inside is the chef's kitchen, anchored by Viking appliances, and with easy access to the vegetable garden just outside. But really, what would you expect from an upstate home owned by a chef and former editor of a renowned food magazine? As the modern black facade gives way to sunny interiors, what we have here is an undeniably beautiful, warm, and inviting space. The home's 3,000 square feet provides ample flexibility for living and hosting without feeling oversized. With the home laid out over two floors, the main floor boasts the gourmet chef's kitchen and an open plan living and dining space. Soaring ceilings are pulled into focus by the cozy fireplace. Two bedrooms with a shared full bathroom extend off of a private hallway, as well as the large primary bedroom, which has a (quite pretty) en suite bathroom. The finished basement over-delivers - a large lounge area, a fourth guest/au pair bedroom and a third full bathroom, with room left over. The grounds have the twin virtues of mountainscape and manicured, with the home flanked by seasonal gardens and a crackling fire pit. The front deck is the spot for morning coffee, while the back deck is for grilling and dining al fresco. Wooded privacy combined with a central location in coveted Livingston Manor make Elk Point the perfect base camp for all your outdoor adventures, while being just minutes from foodie markets, restaurants, breweries, wine shops, home goods and fashion forward shops. Elk Point lies about 100 miles north of the city, but its tranquility feels worlds away. The house is a few short minutes from downtown Livingston Manor, and accessible to other Catskills hot spots like Callicoon, Bethel and Narrowsburg. This location is ideal as a weekend getaway, co-primary home or full-time residence.
