Bloomville is a quiet hamlet in Delaware County surrounded, like many communities in this part of the Catskills, by agriculture. So it’s no wonder that Bloomville’s claim to fame at the moment is Table on Ten, a restaurant that utilizes ingredients sourced within 20 miles of Bloomville. Table on Ten received a nod in NYT T Magazine’s recent Guide to Delaware County Craft Culture and is about a 5 minute stroll from the c.1875 farmhouse depicted above.

Vintage though it may be, it’s a well-cared-for piece of antiquity with a front porch looking all the world like it was plucked straight from Savannah, Georgia. Meanwhile, just past the front door is the original staircase, wood floors, French doors, and a living room wood stove. There’s a lot of space here at 2200, plus 5 beds (well, 4 + 1 den on the first floor)/2 baths and a full basement. But the space doesn’t end there. The property also includes a renovated 2-story carriage house. Sits on an acre-and-a-half near the end of a dead end street.

The listing hints at many updates within the past 5 years with no specifics beyond “read the attached document.” But no matter. We’re already sold on the concept of a beautiful old home at an affordable price in a quiet Catskill town. They had us at “Table on Ten.”
