Debruce Pondhouse

Please enjoy some eye candy of the Debruce Pondhouse, a newly constructed 1 bed 1 bath on 5.5 acres.

Off a sleepy and desirable country road, a split rail fence lines the gravel driveway leading to the distinctive gabled, covered porch. The interior layout is simple and efficient, with pine trim, beadboard and floors creating a cohesive look throughout. The living room offers ample room for lounging, with a high-efficiency pellet stove providing supplementary heat, not to mention warm vibes. And a dining table slots right in.

This private setting has it all: a pond, stream frontage, and great views. Sit on the large back deck and take it all in.

Fancy a burger and a beer? It’s just a short drive to the vibrant local community of Livingston Manor, where one will find restaurants, breweries, great shops, an art gallery, and much more.

Love the idea of cozying up to that wood stove in winter, after ice skating on the pond.

In the summer, make the outdoor shower the only shower. The requisite fire pit is on the ready.

Follow the gravel path to a clearing and you’re in s’mores heaven. There’s a picnic table too for impromptu meals. But the real allure is the view down the forested ravine to Frog Hollow Brook. The more adventurous will use the guide ropes to head down to the substantial water frontage.

While DeBruce Pondhouse is diminutive, this home and property serve up a full Catskills experience and then some. Pair that with a location just 13 minutes to Livingston Manor’s Main Street, and this listing is sure to attract a lot of attention.
