60 Alder Creek Road

Livingston Manor, NY12758

It’s rare enough for a sub-million-dollar listing to hit the market in the uber-scenic Beaverkill Valley, but this charming 1940s cottage is truly special in its own right. It harkens back to a simpler, more analog time, where your getaway really feels altogether separate from the daily grind elsewhere (but with reliable WiFi); where Alder Creek across the road provides the calming audio that lulls you to a sound sleep after a day out hiking on area trails or paddle boarding on Big Pond nearby. The mud room is wonderfully generous, because there will be four seasons of gear if you’re really taking advantage of the Valley’s myriad outdoor pursuits. The kitchen’s deep farmhouse sink is in keeping with the overall country kitchen vibe, as are the painted wainscoting and open shelves. But there is also a substantial fridge, electric stove and country cupboards for storage. The two downstairs bedrooms are off the long living room / dining area. The primary is pine paneled, while the other is whitewashed paneling and has a cozy desk space from a converted closet. Luxuriating in the clawfoot tub in the retro-styled bathroom is just one more way you know you’re not in your day-to-day routine. And the stacked washer/dryer in the corner is a handy amenity. The third bedroom is upstairs, but this is a popular spot for the owners, their kids (and their kids’ friends), so they’ve utilized the additional space for more beds. Outside, the sunny deck is a magnet from morning coffee to after dinner hangs. And if a nap in the shade is on the cards, there are a number of spots with level lawn and high tree canopy that will fit the bill. The Beaverkill Valley is perhaps best known as a Mecca for fly fishing enthusiasts, with the renowned Wulff School just down the road. Canoe, kayak or paddle board at nearby Big Pond, and when it’s time for a great meal, a brewery afternoon or some retail therapy, Livingston Manor is a picturesque 20 minute drive.
