Maligayang pagdating sa Ainslie Bungalow, isang kaakit-akit na Arts and Crafts Homestead mula 1920s sa isang bayan sa Big Indian. Napapalibutan ng mga evergreens at tanawin ng bundok, ang property na ito ay nakatayo sa isang tahimik na lote na may mga perennial na hardin, mga punong prutas, at mga raised cedar garden beds. Na-update nang may istilo na may paggalang sa orihinal na karakter nito, ang property ay maginhawang matatagpuan malapit sa mga bayan at pasilidad, ngunit tila nakatago sa isang lihim na cove ng Catskills.

Ang pangunahing palapag ay nag-aalok ng isang komportableng layout, simula sa isang mainit na living room na may bagong energy-efficient na kahoy na stove at custom tile surround. Ang katabing dining area ay may floating bar at built-in cabinetry, at dumadaloy sa country kitchen na may orihinal na hardwood cabinets, farmhouse sink, Bosch appliances, at mosaic tile flooring. Isang front office na pinalamutian ng walang panahon na william Morris wallpaper at custom shelving ay nag-aalok ng tahimik na espasyo para magtrabaho o lumikha. Kaagad sa tabi ng dining room, isang maginhawang unang palapag na silid-tulugan ang kumokonekta sa isang ganap na na-renovate na banyo na may klasikong clawfoot soaking tub. Isang malaking mudroom na may laundry at built-in storage ang nagpapagana sa unang palapag, nagdadagdag ng praktikalidad sa maingat na disenyo ng bahay.

Sa itaas, dalawang kaakit-akit na silid-tulugan na may skylights ay konektado ng isang pasilyo na may vintage woodwork at wallpaper. Isang bagong idinagdag na kumpletong banyo ay may marble-top vanity, walk-in shower, at salvaged pocket door na may orihinal na pressed glass. Ang natapos na mas mababang antas, na hindi kasama sa nakalistang square footage, ay nagdaragdag ng nababaluktot na espasyo para sa den, media room, o guest quarters. Sa buong bahay, ang orihinal na hardwood floors, Craftsman doors, at naibalik na trim ay nagsasalita tungkol sa matibay na craftsmanship ng bahay.

Sa labas, tamasahin ang umagang kape sa klasikong rocking chair sa harapang porch, mag-akyat sa hardin sa paligid ng nakapader na yard, at tahimik na mga gabi sa cedar barrel hot tub habang pinapanood ang paglubog ng araw sa likod ng mga bundok. Isang nakahiwalay na barn na may buong ikalawang palapag ay nag-aalok ng karagdagang imbakan o posibilidad para sa hinaharap na studio o guest space. Ang mga upgrade ay kinabibilangan ng isang bagong septic system, bagong fencing, generator hookup, at mga updated na sistema sa buong bahay. Nakatago ngunit hindi nakahiwalay, ang bahay ay nag-aalok ng madaling pag-access sa skiing, hiking, at swimming sa kalapit na Belleayre Mountain, Panther Mountain, at Esopus Creek. Sa malapit na bayan ng Phoenicia at isang bus papuntang NYC sa dulo ng kalsada, ang Ainslie Bungalow ay nag-aalok ng kaginhawahan, karakter, at klasikong alindog ng Catskills.

Welcome to Ainslie Bungalow, a charming 1920s Arts and Crafts Homestead on a country lane in Big Indian. Framed by evergreens and mountain views, this storybook property sits on a peaceful lot with perennial gardens, fruit trees, and raised cedar garden beds. Stylishly updated with respect for its original character, the property is conveniently located near towns and amenities, but feels tucked away in a secret cove of the Catskills.

The main floor offers a cozy, well-appointed layout, beginning with a welcoming living room anchored by a new energy-efficient wood stove and custom tile surround. An adjacent dining area includes a floating bar and built-in cabinetry, and flows into the country kitchen with original hardwood cabinets, a farmhouse sink, Bosch appliances, and mosaic tile flooring. A front office adorned with timeless William Morris wallpaper and custom shelving offers a quiet space to work or create. Just off the dining room, a convenient first-floor bedroom connects to a fully renovated bath with a classic clawfoot soaking tub. A large mudroom with laundry and built-in storage completes the first floor, adding practicality to the home’s thoughtful design.

Upstairs, two charming bedrooms with skylights are connected by a hallway lined with vintage woodwork and wallpaper. A newly added full bath includes a marble-top vanity, walk-in shower, and salvaged pocket door with original pressed glass. The finished lower level, not included in the listed square footage, adds flexible living space for a den, media room, or guest quarters. Throughout the home, original hardwood floors, Craftsman doors, and restored trim speak to the home's enduring craftsmanship.

Outside, enjoy morning coffee on the classic rocking chair front porch, garden strolls through the fenced yard, and quiet evenings in the cedar barrel hot tub watching the sun set behind the mountains. A detached barn with a full second story offers additional storage or the potential for future studio or guest space. Upgrades include a new septic system, new fencing, generator hookup, and updated systems throughout. Secluded but not isolated, the home offers easy access to skiing, hiking, and swimming at nearby Belleayre Mountain, Panther Mountain, and the Esopus Creek. With the quaint town of Phoenicia close by and a bus to NYC right at the end of the road, Ainslie Bungalow offers convenience, character, and classic Catskills charm.
