Here’s a fun thing to do: Look up this house on Google Maps, and then look at the Streetview. Okay, okay, we’ll do it for you:

Woof, right? We already loved this cottage, but after seeing what it looked like pre-renovation, we like it even more. It’s a nice transformation, and the look of the interior really hits the spot for us with the high ceilings, beams, fireplace, wood floors, and open-ish flow. Looks like just the place to get a lot of writing done…or not. The back deck looks primed for some entertaining, and the call of the hot tub might be just too strong for us to resist. Location-wise, we approve, as well, since Shandaken is a quiet hamlet in the Catskills close to cool places like Phoenicia, Belleayre Mountain, and Margaretville. But there is a potential fly in the ointment. It’s close to the road. Maybe too close for comfort. Deal-breaker?
