Ang Otto Appley House - 1657 River Road
Lumipad pabalik sa nakaraan habang ganap na namumuhay sa kasalukuyan sa pambihirang grand dame ng Delaware River, ang Otto Appley House. Itinayo noong 1900 para sa pamilyang Appley ng mga doktor, ang 5BR/2BA, 3,669 sq ft Colonial Revival na tahanan ay nakalista nang paisa-isa sa National Register of Historic Places. Puno ng kasaysayan ngunit maingat na modernisado, ang bahay ay kumakatawan sa perpektong timpla ng pagpapanatili at makabagong ginhawa.
Ang nakapalibot na porch ng bahay ay lumulutan sa iyong sariling pribadong 500 talampakan ng baybayin ng Delaware River, nag-aalok ng mga upuan sa unahan sa isa sa mga pinaka-iconic na tanawin ng lugar. Sa loob, nagtatagpo ang katangian mula sa nakaraan sa di-nakikita modernisasyon: makinang na hardwood floors, Andersen divided-light windows, orihinal na storm windows, at mga mataas na kahusayan na pag-upgrade tulad ng Navien propane combi-boiler, LG ArtCool ductless mini-splits, at blown-in dense-pack cellulose insulation. Ang init at ambiance ay dumadaloy mula sa dalawang Kozy-Heat gas fireplaces, na tinitiyak ang tatlong pinagmumulan ng mahusay na ginhawa sa taglamig.
Ang ikalawang palapag ay nag-aalok ng apat na silid-tulugan—bawat isa ay may sariling lababo—kasama ang isang matalinong inayos na banyo na may nagmumuling mainit na tubig. Ang ikatlong palapag, muling inisip mula sa attic patungo sa living space noong 2021, ay ngayon ay nagho-host ng dalawang sound-insulated office suites na may in-floor power, ethernet, Velux skylights, at closed-cell spray foam insulation.
Sa labas ng pangunahing bahay, ang ari-arian ay may bagong 2,000 sq ft na climate-controlled garage na may 13 talampakang kisame, dual EV chargers, at malawak na imbakan sa itaas. Kasama sa mga outbuildings ang isang inayos na well house, isang summer kitchen na may panoramic eagle's-nest views (kasama ang mga architectural plans para sa karagdagang pagpapalawak), at terraced grounds na may oversized 8-foot fire pit na nakatingin sa ilog.
Kung naglulunsad ng kayaks mula sa iyong pribadong access, nanghuhuli ng isda sa ilang hakbang mula sa iyong porch, o lumulutang pababa ng ilog patungong Narrowsburg, ang property na ito ay nagbibigay ng quintessential Upper Delaware lifestyle. Lahat ng pangunahing sistema—mula sa bagong driveway at drainage hanggang sa isang whole-house Generac generator—ay na-update para sa kapayapaan ng isip.
Isang pambihirang alok ng kasaysayan, karangyaan, at pamumuhay sa tabi ng ilog—dalawang oras lamang mula sa NYC.
