The Triple Hearth House is a thoughtfully preserved 1970s Catskills retreat located just five minutes from Phoenicia. Tucked away on a peaceful dead-end road off a scenic byway, this cedar-sided mountain hideaway offers exceptional privacy, dramatic gathering spaces, and wooded mountain surroundings. Set against a private wooded backdrop, the property unfolds like a secluded four-season escape. Walls of windows and glass sliders throughout the home fill the interiors with natural light and woodland views year-round. An enormous wraparound deck extends the living spaces outdoors beneath mature trees and mountain air, while a heated in-ground pool blends naturally into the landscape for relaxed summer entertaining and quiet weekends outdoors. At the heart of the residence, a warm and inviting eat-in kitchen features granite counters, custom cabinetry, slate floors, and its own private side deck perfectly positioned for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The home then opens into the grand Great Room - an unforgettable gathering space defined by soaring ceilings, rich knotty wood paneling, walls of glass, and two of the home's three wood-burning hearths: a dramatic brick fireplace and a wood stove that anchor the residence with timeless lodge character. A separate fireside den offers a quieter retreat equally suited for a future library, media room, or intimate whiskey lounge. The generous layout easily accommodates gatherings, guests, remote work, and creative pursuits, while the home's mood and flexible spaces lend themselves naturally to quiet retreat, reflection, and slower living. An oversized two-car garage provides abundant room for outdoor gear, workshop space, and storage. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for 37 years, the property reflects extraordinary pride of ownership and remains completely move-in ready. Its authentic vintage character, generous scale, and preserved details also offer compelling potential for thoughtful cosmetic updates - or simply to be enjoyed exactly as they are. Outside your door, the very best of the Catskills becomes your extended backyard, from fly fishing streams and hiking trails to skiing at nearby Hunter Mountain and Belleayre Mountain. Explore the celebrated restaurants, shops, and cultural destinations of Phoenicia and the surrounding mountain towns before returning home to the quiet beauty and sense of place that define life here. Authentic, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in the spirit of the Catskills, The Triple Hearth House offers a rare opportunity to experience mountain living with warmth, character, creativity, and enduring soul.
