Schoolhouse Conversion - Barryville NY Real Estate
From one of the first schoolhouses in the area, c. 1860, to a lively gospel church that faded over time to the Hillside Schoolhouse, a 2 room inn and event space 2 miles from the Delaware River.
Owner on right, project manger on left.
10' doors and new monogramed tile.
The old classroom and sermon space.
The windows in this place are amazing.
Super cool and efficient galley kitchen.
Prior to furnishing.
The staircase - which defines the space, allows the 2nd floor, and never tries to hog all the attention.
One of many religious posters that came with the structure. Real holy rollers.
Fun wallpaper in the baths.
Super smart use of colors.
As far as I'm concerned, this project captures our extreme design and construction talents and capabilities in a nutshell. I think it took 6 or 7 months.
Cottage 43 Sold - Livingston Manor Real Estate
This is going to really tick off the haters, but yes, we sold another one last week - sweet little Cottage 43 in Livingston Manor NY. 3 closings in a month, 1 in two weeks, and 3 new starts, plus the two or 3 we had in construction and are motoring right along.
2 beds, 1.5 baths, 5 acres. Inspired by Cottage 18, which inspired Cottage 22 which inspired 43. 1000 sq ft.
Clean and open.
Cable rail and hand hewn posts.
What I like about this house is the siding color, which we hadn't used before and this stone, which is pretty good looking stuff.
The sink on a slab of wood with some horizontal wainscotting never hurt no one.
Now that picture says it all. Dreamy.
Screened porch.
Black on white slab stairs, schoolhouse light, handhewn post, jacobean floor stain, cable rail. Pretty much the definition of claaassssicccc.
Cable rail with barn door back drop.
What's wrong with this picture?
There you have it. Life changing design.
Ranch VII Sold - Barryville NY Real Estate
It's a complex challenge to manage and juggle 8 projects at a time, especially when they overlap at the back end (that's what she said), and closing on 4 homes and finishing up construction on the Schoolhouse and Farm 20 and Glasco Cottage and starting the Saugerties Loft, and preconstruction activities on 5 new projects - let's just say the intracacies of that type of precise scheduling and execution can be intense. Then spread it over a 120 mile area, and sprinkle in the typical personality of our typical accomplished client, and one can quickly see there's no faking it here.
Ranch VII is a great story of two guys (broadway dancers I think) planning for years to make this country sojourn happen - prioritizing, budgeting, planning, waiting - and now, here it is. Done, complete, all hazards navigated.
The Carport. The vertical metal siding defines this exterior.
This home is a spin-off of Ranch V and VI on a great wooded 5 acre expanse a stone's throw from Barryville and the Delaware River.
Brought the metal siding idea inside as well, which I thought was a great idea.
No trouble getting the cooking and entertaining done in this setup.
One of the well-windowed bedrooms.
Very dwell and country living without even trying.
The lower level.
Outdoor living all around.
Here's one of our Mini-Cottages being resold (after marriage and twins) and going into a deal, which I always love to see.
And Lucas got 'stinged' by a bee at Circle Park, just about the cheek bone in that real fleshy ouchy area of tissue. Tough kid.
