Description

The Farmhouse at Dean's Corners, this distinctive Folk Victorian sits beside the Dry Brook in Arkville, with a gabled front dressed in original clapboard and scalloped shingles, and a covered porch trimmed with decorative cornices. The architecture has the kind of ornament that feels specific to its era—decorative without being precious. From the porch, the Dry Brook provides the soundtrack: water flowing, birds in the morning, coffee in hand. Inside, the house has been thoughtfully brought forward...The Farmhouse at Dean's Corners, this distinctive Folk Victorian sits beside the Dry Brook in Arkville, with a gabled front dressed in original clapboard and scalloped shingles, and a covered porch trimmed with decorative cornices. The architecture has the kind of ornament that feels specific to its era—decorative without being precious. From the porch, the Dry Brook provides the soundtrack: water flowing, birds in the morning, coffee in hand. Inside, the house has been thoughtfully brought forward without erasing what makes it special. There are four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, plus a generous room offering an opportunity for a first-floor bedroom. New windows, bathrooms, appliances, flooring, on-demand hot water, furnace, and a 2025 roof with warranty take care of the practicalities. A woodstove adds mountain-house comfort after a day at nearby Belleayre, just 11 minutes away. More than half an acre is framed by old stone walls, evergreens, an apple tree, Japanese cherry, and seasonal Catskills foliage. A detached garage adds useful storage, while neighboring homes are also buffered along the property lines, creating an unusual sense of privacy for a village-adjacent setting. Arkville is just 0.4 miles away for a jaunt to Cafe Mornings or the Arkville Brewstillery. The stream frontage across from the house is owned by the Town, a rarity along the otherwise privately held banks of this special water feature (house is not in a flood zone)

The town allows shortterm rentals. Hikers, skiers, hunters, anglers, and weekenders will find the location especially well suited to them, with Trailways bus service provides access to the city without a car. Margaretville is just down the road for groceries, restaurants, pharmacy, and the oft-overlooked benefit of a rural hospital nearby. Municipal sewer service adds ease. A wonderful entry into Catskills life, with original character, a fantastic floorplan, and all the heavy lifting already done. Turn-key and ready for you.
