Nestled among serene meadows with a majestic mountain backdrop, this exquisitely preserved Victorian era farmhouse perfectly encapsulates the quintessential Catskills experience. Meticulously renovated and curated by a Brooklyn-based interior designer, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence seamlessly integrates historical allure with a contemporary aesthetic. The first floor has been thoughtfully reconfigured to optimize flow, introduce modern amenities (including a full bathroom, powder room, and a primary bedroom suite), enhance outdoor accessibility, and maximize the breathtaking vistas that draw outdoor enthusiasts, artists, and photographers to Lexington, NY. Strategically positioned between Hunter, Belleayre, and Windham Mountains, Lexington stands as the Catskill region's most discerningly kept secret. While the sophisticated finishes, tranquil wall colors, and captivating wallpaper are immediately evident, other thoughtful enhancements, such as the new HVAC system with an efficient heat pump and air conditioning, provide understated comfort. The second floor encompasses two en suite bedrooms and two additional bedrooms, one of which currently serves as a charming bunk room. A screened porch offers a tranquil transition to the outdoors, leading to the property's most distinctive feature: a magnificent, immaculate 1840s two-story red barn. This post and beam structure presents boundless opportunities. Presently, the lower level functions as an entertainment area equipped with games, a bar, and seating arrangements, while the expansive second floor, adorned with chandeliers, remains an open canvas - a rustic ballroom ideally suited for grand celebrations. This distinguished property seamlessly blends history, style, and the quintessential mountain lifestyle. With effortless access to the Catskill Region's premier outdoor attractions, one can indulge in year-round natural beauty. Enjoy summer's hiking and fishing, or embrace winter's skiing on the area's best mountains.
