67 Fisk Rd, Delhi, NY 13753

Description

There is a certain magic in the air as you approach 67 Fisk. One part awe and whimsy as you pass the neighboring antique shop filled with oversized colorful metal creatures. And one part inspiration at the ornate decor of this gingerbread like farmhouse that greets you, center stage. Colorful corbels, playful shutters, embellished woodwork and elaborate cornices over arched windows. This is the quintessential farmhouse of your dreams. And the barn, just as ideal.

Inside, beadboard cabinetry define the ultimate country kitchen. A pass thru pantry with built in cupboards and drawers further highlight the vintage charm. The ceilings are tall and the floors, planked. Downstairs is spacious, with a full dining room, full bath just past the office, and living room. The screened in front porch is perfect for summer nights, and perfectly south facing. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms and a half bath continue the enchantment with incredible light and hidden nooks. The John Deere bedroom is perfect for the young at heart while the more sophisticated, newly painted bedroom down the hall shows how some updating can add a stately allure. If history excites you, this 1890 build has years of stories to learn. If walls could talk they'd share all the gossip, but admittedly would also ask for some paint, plaster repair and a little elbow grease to truly make the home shine.

Across the road is additional acreage with stream frontage on the Little Delaware River, a joy for anglers where both brown and brook trout swim. The wooded path winds along past a private pond, replete with mushrooms awaiting your amateur attempt at ID. Deer, turkey and other wildlife share your home here. There are three parcels, one of which has an additional well and dry-well in addition to the greenhouse for prepping your homegrown edible delights.

Located in the Catskill's heartland of Bovina, you'll be surrounded by infinite beauty. Protected forests, open farmland, and a thriving community that loves this wild and special corner of paradise. Halfway between Delhi and Andes, you can have your choice of restaurants and shops if you ever decide that leaving this special home has any merit.
