Property Description

Ferns quivering in the summer breeze. An unreasonable number of birds trading song for birdseed at the feeders. As bargains go, it's a good one. Life at Silver Birch has the best of many worlds. The ticking of many boxes. First, the efficiency and functionality of a 2019 Catskill Farms 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom build. The location is set in the rolling pastoral hills of Bethel. Solar panels, owned outright, keep energy costs extremely low. A meticulously upkept home with a recently added office and custom-built shed. The list goes on.

Large windows draw in a dappling, generous light, and the upward-sloping ceiling gives the space a sense of volume that feels larger than its footprint suggests.

The bathroom is quietly lovely: subway tile, pine floors, two windows, a medicine cabinet, and a chunky wood vanity that anchors the room with the right amount of weight. Downstairs, the house opens up considerably. A den offers the ideal conditions for an evening read or some television. The third bedroom is privately situated here - bright, well-proportioned, and comfortable with a king. A second full bathroom has a glass shower door and a pebble-tile shower floor. The unfinished portion of the basement serves as storage and project space; tucked within it, a newly finished 120 sq ft office is bright and purpose-built for working from home.
