Nestled on a quiet street in the tiny rural hamlet of Chichester, this large contemporary Colonial redefines ''room in the country.'' Spanning 3,600 sq ft of gracious living space, the home features a massive lower level with a spacious den, kitchen, and full bath - perfect for recreation, guests, or flexible use. The main level offers seamless circular flow from the kitchen into the living room and dining room (currently used as an office), with doors opening to expansive decking that surrounds the home and captures nature at every turn. Upstairs, find 3+ generously sized bedrooms, highlighted by a spa-like primary suite boasting abundant closets, high ceilings, and walls of windows for abundant natural light. Hardwood floors flow calmly throughout, creating an inviting atmosphere for everyday living and effortless entertaining in every season. Perched high on a hill with a wrap-around deck offering sweeping views over the garage and beyond, the property sits less than 1/8 mile from a right-of-way leading directly into hundreds of acres of protected Catskill Forest Preserve land - ideal for hiking, wildlife viewing, and outdoor adventures. Between Phoenicia and Hunter, you're just minutes from Hunter Mountain and Belleayre ski resorts, plus endless Catskills pursuits like fishing, hunting, antiquing, and exploring. Or simply relax on the front rocking-chair porch, listening to the stream across the street under starry skies. This idyllic spot delivers true mountain serenity - welcome home.
