Cottage 35 - Narrowsburg - SOLD

Cottage 35 has a real story to tell.  For one, it was a house I built that didn't sell for 2+ years, if not more - which is very rare.  So it lived several iterations - I lived in for 4 months while going through a life transition, and then I rented it out for weekends which was a huge success.  I'm building another rental as soon as possible.  It was a cool 1000 sq ft, 2 bedroom bath and a half home.  It had some pizazz.  It had some views.  It had a breeze that blew down the mountain and in the back door and right out the front.












So, without a buyer while building - which is rare - I was able to let the Petersheim freak flag fly on the design - Note the red roofing panels at the kitchen.  This is also a great example of how great our homes look when we are done with them.  Spotless, cared for, and meticulous.






First floor 1/2 bath, with cedar vertical planking.



Black rads, red panels, early american stain, cable rail, hand hewn beams, wide plank floors and ceilings - security system, low heat alarm, audio wired throughout.



Upstairs foyer.  Stained wood wainscoting.


Big, well windowed bath.









Celebrated a Christmas there with my wingman Lucas and my neighbor and friend Bryan.  Lucas decorated the tree so you'll note a crowd of ornaments down low.  Its was a super comfy house.  Well decorated. Simple.





Training him early.  Work is life.  Life is work.  Better enjoy it.



Ole Cottage 35 - It was a good ride.  You served us well.  Au Revior mon ami.
