Sited on the most prestigious block in the charming Hudson River town of Catskill, in what is The East Side Historic District, perched on a hill with panoramic views of the Hudson River, Rip Van Winkle Bridge and Frederick Church's Olana, you will find Judge Emory Chase's stately Victorian home that has proudly stood with the other grand village mansions of the same ilk since 1887. This gilded age home has entertained a U.S. President, astronaut, several judges and the double parlor held the wedding reception of Chase's daughter reported by The New York Times! This 9 bedroom, 3.5 bath home has been meticulously restored to retain many original details, that simply cannot be reproduced today, such as: hand carved woodwork and banisters that rises up three floors thru the center hallway, plaster crown moldings, fireplaces, wide plank wood floors, pocket doors and high ceilings. The library/office with the original wall of built-in bookcases adds to the character of this stately home. The new gourmet kitchen with an entire wall of windows floods the space with tons of natural light and flows seamlessly outside to a large backyard and deck for entertaining family and friends on a scale few can imagine today. The entire front of the house has a long beautiful rocking chair wrap around porch perfect for reading or just enjoying the neighborhood. The second floor balcony provides a serene perch for taking in those stunning river views, morning sunrises with breakfast or maybe even a summertime afternoon nap. Behind the house you'll find a large fenced in yard (plenty of room for a flower/vegetable garden and pool, if desired), a two story massive carriage house with endless possibilities and for convenience, a separate service entrance off of Bridge St. that leads directly to the yard. Just a short stroll down the hill to Catskill's Main St. that offers amazing restaurants, breweries, shops, Foreland Art Complex, an old nostalgic movie theater, marina and public park right on the Hudson River/Catskill Creek. The property is book-ended by the village owned Beattie-Powers House and a NY State hiking trail - both leading down to the river's shoreline. Hudson's Amtrak; 10 mins, Windham/Hunter Resorts; 30 mins, Bard College; 25 mins, NY Thruway; 10 mins and NYC only 2 hrs. Come take a look at the home that is part of the fabric of NY State, The Hudson Valley and The Village of Catskill's long amazing history.
