An Updated Country Cottage with Room to Grow

  |  October 22, 2025

Hankins is a quiet corner of already-quiet Sullivan County.

What better place for an updated country cottage? Oak Ridge is move-in ready and set on five acres.

The black exterior gives way to a bright white interior. In addition to the front door next to the kitchen part of the great room, a screened porch at one end of the house has doors that open to the living-room side.

The kitchen cabinets are a deep, blue-gray tone, topped with white quartz counters.

A sliding barn door conceals…

…a modern bath with a glass shower and a pedestal sink. We love that backlit mirror.

Bamboo Roman shades offer a retro feel to this dramatically dark-walled primary bedroom.

It, too, has a sliding barn door to the ensuite bath.

A marble-and-glass-encased shower is a focal point here, along with a dual-sink, marble-topped vanity.

This secondary bedroom is bright with sunlight and pale walls. That patterned carpet is a stunner.

The other secondary bedroom is bright, too.

Upstairs, a lounge area is perfect for, well, lounging. It’s bright and airy with a peaked ceiling.

An office with floating shelves occupies the space on the other side up here.

Did we mention that the screened porch has a hot tub?

There’s plenty of room for a dining table, too.

A two-story barn on the property was converted to a studio. It has electricity and water.

The lower level was initially a darkroom…

…and the vaulted second floor awaits your imagination.

The property is five miles from Callicoon and just about kisses the banks of the Delaware River. It’s listed for $599,000.
