9 Browning Boulevard, Barryville, NY 12719

Quintessential lake home in the York Lake Shores gated community, in up-and-coming Barryville. One of those homes you can't wait to get to, to chill, relax, hang, after a crazy week at work. A warm and welcoming aesthetic, light and bright with soaring ceilings and huge windows inviting in the sunshine. Glowing hardwood floors, an upscale granite island kitchen, enormous living room and a four-season, glass-enclosed sunroom complete with pellet stove. Spacious Dining Room for all those weekend guests, or just gather together on the oversized deck and fire up the grill. With a roomy master suite on the 1st floor and two large bedrooms upstairs plus room for spillover guests in the huge open loft overlooking the first floor, the inside is comfy and casual. Outside is amazing! A 5-minute stroll brings you to the members-only beach and the pristine, glacial lake to swim, fish, canoe, row or kayak wind craft only, no noisy jet skis here! Picnic in the shade of one of the 3 gazebos or drift on the raft with an ice-cold drink. Ice skate, snowshoe, cross-country ski or ice fish when it freezes. Hike, bike, run or walk the peaceful surrounding trails year round. Sit quietly around the firepit on a summer evening, listening to the hoot owls and the soft lullaby of the cicadas. Prefer the river? The home comes with deeded access to a private beach on the Delaware, a 5-minute ride from this nicely private, country community. One day the lake, one day the river! It's all so tranquil and serene but only 10 mins to bustling, trendy Narrowsburg for eats and treats and funky boutiques; 15-mins to Big Bear Resort for skiing, snowboarding and all things winter. 20 mins to the posh and elegant Eldred Preserve, 30 mins to the Bethel Woods Arts center for a concert or a little culture, or a wicked night of gambling at Resorts International. Something for everyone. And all around, there are farm markets, antiquing, farm-to-table restaurants and eateries, nature preserves, eagles, hawks, curious foxes and gentle deer in your own back yard. A glorious Catskills escape, just 2 hours to NY, minutes to PA and NJ. Simply fabulous.
