Ranch 12 - Narrowsburg NY - SOLD
Cool little 1300 sq ft 2 bedroom 1 bath new Ranch in Narrowsburg sold on Friday, bringing our total new build sales in 2015 to like 15 or something crazy big like that - across 4 primo upstate counties.
I like this design because it's so modest up front, but then is perfectly suitable for a sloping lot and lots of glazing and glass on the back side. We didn't finish off the basement on this one, but it's a no brainer if the stream of visitors proves overwhelming to the upstairs space.
Wide open common area.
The new owners keep the modern out of modern, combining more cabiny and cottagey touches than a trimless modern approach.
Saddle up to the kitchen.
Light a fire in the wood burning stove.
Rustic cable rail approach.
Expansive kickass bath with duel sinks.
Cued up, and knocked down.
Crazy Business
We deal with a lot of money, many times the biggest expenditure of someone's life, so lots of funny things happen along the way, but by in large, things go pretty well. We are probably pushing $100m in transactions by now.
But sometimes people just really lose control of themselves. like this client who claims we 'took a door' from his house, and now is going to invest hundreds of manhours calling all my clients, most of whom I have zero business with anymore. And call the police. I'll keep his name out of it just cause I'm a nice guy.
"So - assume that you do not have tje intention to return the items taken
Will notify the authorities
Also we obtained at county today a list of all properties sold by Catskill Farms as well as the permits you filed ( if any)
Nevertheless, We will start calling them asking for our door since we assume you use this for another project
Once concluded in Sullivan, we will extend the search to other countries,
Rest assure we will continue until we find it
Your blog and website is giving us valuable information about each property"
I mean, seriously. I guess if you're a client you might get a call looking a door. If you have it, give it back please.
What a year!
Catskill Farms' doubled in size and now we work in 4 counties.
Ran for political office, lost, but made a hell of a racket about ineptitude and selfish-ness.
And my son finally got all 4 limbs to work together instead of independently.
Barn 14 - Saugerties NY - SOLD
This 2400 sq ft 3 bedroom 2.5 bath barn on 4.5 acres is 10 minutes to Woodstock, 10 minutes to Saugerties, 10 minutes to Kingston, 30 minutes from skiing at Hunter and Windham.
It has a 1000 sq ft finished basement as well.
We designed this home a few years ago and never got around to building it. Never found the land that paired with it just right until Brad, Nicole and their 2 kids came around.
It's an open floor plan, with communal living spaces that flow into each other without effort.
Kitchen, dining, and fireplace areas.
Mudroom with our barn doors and salvaged wood treatment.
We've been seeing some wall paper accents in our bathrooms and it's really terrific. So many different ways to go with that.
Big salvaged wood wall.
No sneezing at this kitchen.
Mudroom with stone, laundry, bench and metal roof backing.
Another snap shot of the bathroom.
Other bath snap shots.
Master bedroom.
It's a nice looking house. Happy to have designed and built it.
