Cure Your Winter Blues with This Garden-Glory Cottage: $230K

  |  January 3, 2024

There’s a certain romance to snug little cottages in the Catskills. Today’s pick is just about as snug as it gets.

Woodbourne is in the heart of the Sullivan County Catskills, and it’s home to the 878-square-foot Cypert Cottage, built in 1939. Amid a dusting of snow and drab-looking wintry garden beds, the cottage doesn’t totally impress upon first glance. But it’s cute, with beige siding and a plethora of outbuildings.

The interior is well-kept, with a hardwood floor in the living room and a fireplace that’s faced with stacked stone. An archway into the kitchen evokes charm.

That picture window lets in a lotta sunlight. The living room also lends space to a dining table.

A door from the living room opens to this nice-sized bedroom, which has sizeable closets and a couple of windows.

The kitchen has everything you’d need to fix up a nice meal, with a good amount of cabinets and granite-look counters. The vinyl tile floor could use an update. The house is so petite that the washing machine is in the kitchen, too.

The bathroom has a corner shower and wall tile that could use renovation.

This bedroom has a 1990s ethos, from the oak doors to the forest-green walls—still, it’s in good condition.

A semi-enclosed sunroom off the back of the house has an outdoor cooking setup and a transparent roof.

Ah, that’s what we’ve been looking forward to: A barrel-shaped sauna, next to an above-ground pool.

The sauna is wood-fired and roomy enough for a few friends.

The property totals just over an acre, and has lots of natural magic in those pine trees and stone pathways. This one leads to a barbecue/firepit area.

A hoop house and greenhouse promise lots of growing opportunities for those with a green thumb.

If the new owner moves in during the gray midwinter, look what they can look forward to in the summer! The house is kinda out of the way, but close to great fishing in the Neversink Reservoir. Resorts World Catskills is 20 minutes away, and you can get to great restaurants and a show at Shadowland Stages in Ellenville in less time than that.
