19 Jay Street, Phoenicia, NY 12464

An incredibly unique water front home in the cute town of Phoenicia. Located at the end of a quiet road on the outskirts of town with its shops within walking distance, and a quick 2 hour drive or a convenient bus ride from Manhattan. This is a perfect weekend house or a full time residence for a hybrid/remote worker, that allows for the best of both worlds: Access to convenience of the small town community with its amenities and restaurants, but step through to the back yard and you'll find yourself in a private paradise with abundance of wildlife that feels like you're miles away from civilization. Humming birds to bald eagles, you're guaranteed to become a bird watcher. The ability to walk to pick up some milk or eggs, while being able to spend days without seeing anyone, makes this your perfect Goldilocks home. The spacious house overlooking the pristine Esopus and Stony Clove creeks, with its mountain views, comes with an in-ground pool and stone patio with a fire pit, as well as a large wooden deck with a hot tub that's perfect for entertaining or relaxing in solitude in every season. Enjoy fly-fishing from your property, swimming, tubing, or relaxing in the water with a cold drink.  In the winter, a quick 20 minute drive to multiple ski resorts gives you the luxury of skiing during the best snow days.  Apres-ski at the lodge, then come home to warm up by the cast iron Jotul wood stove in the wide open beamed and vaulted living area with skylights, which connects to a separate office/suite with its own entrance and half-bath.   The fenced-in back yard makes it ideal for pets, and the 1 acre lot of woods is included in the total acreage, with more than 500ft of stream front access for the entire property!  The house itself is setback with elevation from the water, but you can walk down to both streams for easy access.   The family den and office suite are in addition to the three bedrooms, and the foyer is cozy with a Jotul propane fireplace. 20 minute drive from Woodstock and Hunter mountain.  16 minutes from Belleayre mountain and 35 minutes from Windham.  The area has so many hiking trails and all-season activities to keep you busy while being perfect for entertaining a big group of friends or extended family.  Winter WFH can mean 'work from hottub'.  Starlink antenna is installed for satellite internet access, as well as nest security cameras/thermostats, and highspeed internet/cable.
