249 High Street, Phoenicia, NY 12464

Set on a wooded bluff above the Esopus Creek, just outside the hamlet of Phoenicia, this updated 1974 Cape offers Catskills charm, modern upgrades, and a strong connection to the outdoors on 2.71 acres. A broad 341 sq ft deck welcomes you at the entry—perfect for gathering, grilling, or simply gaze at the trickling seasonal stream that borders the property winding down toward the creek below.

Inside, the 1,044 sq ft home features a ground-level bedroom, a great room with bamboo plank floors, and a bay window framing distant mountain views. The open kitchen is fully renovated with custom cabinetry, granite counters, and stainless appliances. A spiral staircase leads to a light-filled mezzanine loft with a window looking into the woods, two closets, and space for sleeping, working, or retreating—currently used as a second bedroom. Tucked against over 130 acres of NY State Forest, this tranquil property blends privacy and proximity—just minutes from Main Street Phoenicia and abundant hiking trailheads nearby.
