The Barn at Winterberry Pond 🌸

When thinking of the perfectly converted barn in Upstate NY, the dream is of The Barn at Winterberry Pond. Completely renovated in 2022 with a flawless modern aesthetic, this practically new home is sure to impress. Walk through the front doors to a wall full of windows on your right. Step into the large open area which includes the living room and eat-in kitchen. The bathroom is covered in tile and stunningly appointed. Sun-drenched at all hours of the day, the open floorplan provides ample space to easily converse while cooking and sipping on some rosé. Vaulted ceilings keep the space feeling bright and airy as well.

The Barn is set back off the road for privacy. There are a number of mature trees on the 7+ acres prime for exploring. Finish off the evening in the very private hot tub with your favorite cocktail. The cleared large yard provides plenty of space to enjoy outdoor fun. Lots of summer afternoons are spent rowboating out on the private pond, with plenty of wildlife to excite and entertain.

🍃 Willow Creek Manor 🍃

The epitome of the perfect upstate playground. An ideal gathering place, this fully down-to-the-studs gut renovated modern farmhouse has room for the whole group to easily spread out and relax.

One of the most special attributes of this home is access to your own private wild forest. The mighty 92+ acres are fully trailed (with four hunting blinds) and play host to a creek, many pine trees, and multiple caves waiting to be explored.

While Willow Creek Manor was mostly used as a gathering place among friends and family, it also provided to be a successful short-term rental when made available. To make the transfer seamless, the current owner is offering for the furniture to be negotiated as part of the sale or purchased separately with the exception of a few items that hold sentimental value. Additionally, the groundskeeper as well as his wife who provides cleaning services have offered to stay on for the next owner.

Less than 10 minutes away from downtown Roscoe and less than 15 minutes from downtown Livingston Manor, you’re a quick drive to essentials, restaurants, antiquing, vintage shops, home goods, retail, and morning coffee with plenty of options to choose from.

3 BR with 2 add’l flex rooms (currently used as bedrooms) • 3 full bathrooms • 2,088 sq ft plus finished basement • 92.16 fully trailed acres • $699,999

Currently a very successful short-term rental with great ratings, grossing an average annual income of around $75K.  So many major renovations completed within the last 5 years! Low taxes, low utilities, + low maintenance costs make this home more than easy to handle! To make the transfer to the next steward of Zematt Lodge even more seamless, the current owner is offering for the furniture to be negotiated as part of the sale or purchased separately.

✨Serenity Ranch • In Contract✨
This sweetpea of a ranch home on 2 wooded acres has been meticulously cared for by the current owners, and have been the nicest people to work. The home is on quiet dead-end street with spaced out neighbors, providing the feeling of privacy without being isolated. The home offers a wrap around multi-level deck, 30+ blueberry bushes, rose bushes, and a mature dwarf japanese maple, all new major components, brick fireplace, exposed beams, finished basement — all of this, and only 10 mins to the Stockade in Kingston! My clients may just be home for the New Year too, with a speedy team on both sides making this a lightening fast transaction thus far! My favorite kind of transaction are the ones where people are reasonable, fair, and kind — makes for a wildly efficient deal where everyone is happy! Can’t think of a better kind of experience for purchasing your first home!

Well, if I had to have a really dramatic parking lot accident that totalled my car, I’m grateful for everyone who helped afterwards (everyone’s okay!) — including the staff at of Newburgh who quickly called for help, Town of Newburgh Police who gave me some great advice, my office manager Stephanie for being the best office mom and also giving me some great advice, for connecting me with legal advice lightening fast (as usual), and for a great new insurance policy at amazing rates! And lastly, my fellow hospitality veteran and old friend Chris Petersen (as well as Paul) over at for hooking us up with a beautiful new ride in record time in this wild car market.

Now I can enjoy vacation — we’re off to the ADKs in style! 🙏🤍🌲

🚲Ten Broeck Duplex 🚲

2 units • 4 BR • 2 BTH • solar panels • garage

“Midtown charm. Built in 1890, and perfectly situated between Kingston’s Broadway and Albany Ave, this recently updated two-family home is well suited for an owner-occupant and investor alike. The covered front porch welcomes you in to the vestibule where you’ll find charming wood detailing and original doorknobs. Inside, ornamented radiators, oak columns, stained glass windows, and 9ft ceilings offer a character-filled environment with that original magic. The home has two apartments, each with the same layout of 2 beds and 1 bath, their own decks, and private entrances. Light drenched from the bright, sunny windows and open layouts, both apartments are desirable places for long term renting. The secluded, shared backyard offers a respite for tenants and has a detached garage for parking or storage. Use your imagination to create an inviting garden or outdoor living space. The downstairs apt was recently modernized with a fresh finishing on the wood floors, new kitchen flooring, renovated bathroom, and updated kitchen. The upstairs apt has not been updated, as there is a longtime tenant in place. Both units are currently rented by month-to-month tenants for for $1,300 per month upstairs, and for $1,800 per month downstairs. Plenty of parking for 3 cars can be found in the private driveway, or on the street. Tenants enjoy large bedroom closets, walk in pantries, and additional storage closets. The downstairs apartment has in-unit washer and dryer. Tenants pay all utilities - electric, gas, water, and internet. Both the attic and basement have been newly spray foam insulated. Solar panels on the roof are leased from Tesla for $48 per month.”
