Who is this for?

For a new family residing in Brooklyn, this property presents an ideal weekend retreat. The layout includes an upstairs primary suite for the parents, along with two downstairs bedrooms suitable for kids and visiting guests. This home offers an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking to offset financing and upkeep expenses through rental income.

The Location:

Situated on Yaun Road, just outside the lively town of Livingston Manor, this property finds itself in the heart of the Catskills, a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Known as the birthplace of fly fishing, Livingston Manor offers excellent opportunities for fishing and hiking, with attractions like Sonoma Falls and picturesque covered bridges. The area is also home to a vibrant food and brewery scene, established by individuals who have migrated from Brooklyn.

The Lot:

Situated on a serene four-acre lot, this property benefits from an existing driveway, simplifying the construction process. The standout feature of the land is a stunning stone wall that gracefully traverses the property. Serving as a vital design element, this stone wall acts as a central spine, providing organization to the site and giving the project with distinctive character.

The Property:

We will build a HUTS Medium Bar, a three-bedroom house with the primary bedroom located in the loft area. The project has already obtained the necessary permits, and a contractor has been secured, enabling a swift transition into the construction phase.
