The house
Three-bedroom house on Chestnut Creek, set back from the road among mature trees on 0.62 acre in Neversink, at the southern edge of the Catskill Park. The sunroom looks over the water, and the creek can be heard through much of the house.
The covered porch leads to a large open kitchen with a dining nook and a front deck. The living room faces the forest at the rear and centers on a wood stove. A bedroom and full bathroom are on the first floor, and two bedrooms and a second full bathroom are upstairs.
The grounds
A back deck holds a new hot tub and leads to a small clearing in the woods that the listing sets aside for long lunches and picnics. The full unfinished basement has a garage and the laundry, with room left for a workshop or a gym. The listing suggests a recreation room as well.
The owner has added a new back deck, upgraded electrical, renovated bathrooms, new gutters, fresh paint inside and out and a new water heater. The house runs on a private well and municipal sewer.
The record
Grahamsville was once called Chestnut Valley, for the chestnut trees that grew there. Chestnut Creek is stocked with brown trout each spring, 510 of them in 2024, paid for locally.
The listing gives Livingston Manor and Minnewaska State Park as under 30 minutes away, Belleayre Mountain as about 45, and Manhattan as about 100 miles. The town is Neversink and the postal address is Grahamsville, so both names are right.
