Stream-side Mid-century Loft Home - A rare Catskills find, this authentic mid-century modern home pairs architectural pedigree with an extraordinary stream-side setting. Designed by Donald Cromley, an apprentice to renowned Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer, the home has been beautifully preserved, retaining the original details and design principles that give it such a distinct sense of place.
Set on two private acres bordering state land and perched well above the creek, the property encompasses more than 325 feet of creek frontage, creating a private environment shaped by water and woods. Along the entire creek-facing side of the home, a continuous bank of windows draws the outdoors in. Trees fill the view, sunlight filters through the canopy, and the sound of moving water provides a natural soundtrack throughout the seasons.
Inside, the architecture is modest yet striking, with soaring loft-style ceilings, warm original details, and an effortless connection to its surroundings. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas create an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. A high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace serves as a cozy focal point, while the beautifully renovated kitchen brings modern functionality to the home's mid-century character and comes fully stocked for an easy transition into Catskills life. Just off the living room, a deck extends the experience outdoors, overlooking the creek and wooded surroundings.
Three bedrooms and two full baths provide flexibility for both full-time living and weekend stays, with the primary bedroom conveniently located on the first floor. Two distinct loft spaces add another layer to the home's unique design--one overlooking the main living area and another within the primary bedroom--creating additional space while enhancing the open, airy character of the architecture. A dry sauna offers a welcome retreat after a day spent hiking, skiing, or exploring the mountains.
Throughout the home, expansive glass keeps nature constantly in view--you can fall asleep surrounded by treetops and wake to the sound of the stream below. The effect is immersive yet peaceful, allowing the home's architecture and natural surroundings to exist in quiet harmony. Fully furnished and ready to enjoy, the home presents a rare opportunity to own a turnkey property where thoughtful design meets modern comfort and ease.
Private and peaceful yet just minutes from Catskills ski resorts and year-round outdoor recreation, this is a home for those drawn to thoughtful architecture, natural beauty, and a quieter way of living. An authentic mid-century retreat where the architecture doesn't compete with the landscape--it was designed to become part of it.
