The house
A black-shingled A-frame with a glass gable, set in Colonel's Chair Estates below the Hunter Mountain ridge. The entry-level living area has a wood stove, and the main living room has high ceilings and a bluestone wood-burning fireplace with a moose mounted above it.
Upstairs, a loft with a sleeping area overlooks the living room and fireplace, and a second bedroom looks down on the entry. The house is 1,248 square feet on 0.78 acres. The listing calls it a classic Catskills A-frame with a little Catskills kitsch, and the moose is where the kitsch is kept.
The name
Colonel's Chair is a subpeak of Hunter Mountain, named for Colonel William Edwards, who ran a tannery in the mid-19th century and.
The listing places Hunter Mountain steps away, and the walk to coffee is short too. Fellow Coffee Shop within walking distance. The kitchen and dining area connect directly to the entry living area, and one of the bathrooms has an oversized tub, the listing says.
Outside and below
The deck is where the listing says to drop your boots before going in, and the wood stove is the first thing inside the door. The deck sits over stacked firewood by the door, and a tall brick-pattern chimney rises beside the gable. A walkout basement adds room for storage and gear.
The loft is the second sleeping space, open to the room below. Skiing, hiking and mountain biking are all close by. The listing says the house works as a personal escape, a ski-season base or a property with income potential.
