Recently constructed and very lightly used, this modern ranch with lake rights(!) to the beautiful and private Amber Lake in Livingston Manor is a golden opportunity for its next stewards. Designed and engineered to be both highly livable and economical to maintain, it works perfectly as a primary or weekend home. Light streams in the south-facing windows to illuminate the lovely great room – the place where everyday living will unfold. The ceiling height soars up to 13’. It is easy to visualize quiet quotidian moments having a morning coffee on the deck in the warmer months. In the colder months, fire up the wood stove and have a dinner party with friends. Over the years, these are the memorable times that will accumulate and deepen affection for this great home. The kitchen has lovely and durable quartz countertops, a propane stove, and loads of storage. Pull up a couple of stools or a highchair to the island for breakfast. There’s a perfectly situated dining room table that easily seats eight. In the living area, two oversized sliding glass doors open onto a sprawling 400 sq ft deck that feels like an extension of the interior—a true summer kitchen. Grill, dine, and relax under the canopy of trees, with rustling leaves as your soundtrack. A mini-split unit keeps things cool, but if the heat gets intense, Amber Lake is just a short stroll or bike ride away. Down the hall, the laundry room is discreetly tucked behind a door to keep things quiet and out of sight. The first bedroom—modest in size but airy thanks to the upward-sloping roofline—is ideal for guests or a home office. The adjacent bathroom features subway tile in the tub/shower combo and hexagon tile on the floor for a touch of contrast and texture. The second bedroom is more spacious and located at the rear of the house—perfect for light-sensitive sleepers (though blackout shades might still come in handy, thanks to the large windows). All bedrooms have ample closet storage. The primary suite is a true sanctuary. Generous in both square footage and ceiling height, it includes a luxurious en-suite bath with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a deep soaking tub. Dual closets provide plenty of wardrobe space, and there’s direct access to the deck—ideal for a quiet morning retreat or late-night stargazing. Amber Lake is one of the nicest lakes in the area. It is at 1900’ elevation and is spring-fed by the cold, pure Catskills aquafer. Its waters flow down to feed the renowned trout fishing of the Beaverkill River. Access is just a 10 minute walk (or a quick drive or bike ride), with a shared pier for launching boats—or yourself—into the crystal-clear water. Bring a canoe or jon boat and fish for bass, perch, or pickerel. And when you're ready to rejoin civilization, you’re just eight minutes from either Roscoe—with Grizzly Bagels and The Junction—or Livingston Manor, home to Stumble Out restaurant and the Catskill Art Space, among many others.
