2383 State Route 97 , Pond Eddy, NY 12770

Property Description

If youve ever driven in to southern Sullivan county along route 97, you know just how beautiful and wild this stretch of the Delaware river is. Moon River represents a rare opportunity to make a slice of that paradise your very own. With nearly 250 of private river frontage, 1.65 acres of level, park-like land, and a character-rich, 3 bedroom home to boot, Moon River is a chance to get your hands on something special.Entering the home through the large, sun drenched 3 season room you enter directly in to the classic country kitchen. Vintage flair abounds, and the river views never get old. Directly off the kitchen is the downstairs half bath. While fully functional and charming, the kitchen and half-bath certainly represent an opportunity to customize the home to your specific tastes as they are the oldest part of the home. Adjacent to the kitchen, youll enter a light and sunny den/family room. Ample (new) windows keep the space fresh and bright, while the original wood floors throughout the entire home lend the character we are always looking for. The white-walled den is the perfect counterpoint to the cozy and warm dining and living room centered around a brick-ensconced wood-burning fireplace. You can certainly imagine Fall evenings in front of the fire sipping on a negroni (or whatever your drink of choice.) A small mud room adjoins off this space and leads to the front yard of the home - a less used entrance point to the home, but useful nonetheless with some storage.Upstairs, there are three bedrooms - all fairly similar in scale. King or queen beds would work just fine - and all rooms feature a closet. A completely renovated full bathroom is shared among the bedrooms. While the house is a winner in its own right - the star of the show is certainly the property itself. It is rare to find this level of privacy, and this degree of usability on a riverfront parcel. The land is open, and quite level - you could easily add gardens, a pool, a tennis court - whatever your lifestyle demands. There is also a large garage/barn that could continue to serve admirably as a storage space - or with a little vision could be converted to a special studio space or guest lodging. The hand-hewn beams are begging for some new life. This barn was actually an original mule barn for the old D&H Canal and you can see the history when you step inside.Beyond the built-in smokeless Breeo fire pit, there are stairs leading down to the rivers edge. This is a truly spectacular stretch of river with no homes in sigh
