About This Home

Historic Charm Meets Village Life in the CatskillsWelcome to 38 Lake Street, a beautifully renovated Victorian cottage in Stamford, NY's prestigious Granthurst Park neighborhood and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Churchill Park Historic District. This furnished home - available for long-term rental - offers the best of both worlds: timeless architectural charm paired with thoughtful, modern updates for comfortable living year-round.As you approach, the wraparound stone porch invites you into the first floor. Through the entryway, you'll find the spacious living room with multiple sitting areas and a beautiful stacked fieldstone hearth and new Norwegian Jotul wood stove. The front room offers space for dining in the curved nook and also room for an office or additional lounging space. Rounding out the first floor is the spectacular chef's kitchen with top of the line finishes and appliances including custom made black steel and walnut counter design, Nostalgie LP range, three stainless steel LG Column cold storage units plus freezer, dishwasher, farm sink, and additional pantry area. Rounding out this floor is a half bath ''powder room.'' Up the staircase and past one of the many stunning latticed windows you'll find the three spacious and sun filled bedrooms each of which include unique dome or turret features adding to the charm. There are also two fully renovated bathrooms on this floor for added convenience. The layout of the upstairs bedrooms are ideal anyone expecting friends or family periodically coming to visit. One bedroom has its own full bathroom with an over-sized marble shower room across the hall, while on the other side of the home the other two guest rooms share another full bath featuring a clawfoot soaking tub. Not to mention the laundry room is on the second floor, perfect for those who prefer to do laundry on the same floor they are staying on.Located in Stamford, New York - known as the ''Queen of the Catskills'' for its rich history as a resort town - this home offers convenient village life with easy access to nature. Outside you can enjoy the generous front yard and fire pit - or if you want to explore, the village is home to cute restaurants and shops like Stamford Coffee, Catskill Outpost, and Solinsky's, as well as a grocery store, library and new multi-million dollar public pool. Nearby are also the Stamford Golf Course, the 26-mile Catskill Scenic Rail Trail, the headwaters at the Delaware River and some of the best hiking and fishing the Catskills have to offer. Stamford is a great jumping off point for visiting other nearby towns like Delhi and Roxbury and Cooperstown is 45 minutes away. It is just 30 to 40 minutes to skiing at four different mountains, an hour and 15 minutes to the Albany airport and train station as well as Kingston and Hudson. All this and only 2 hours and 45 minutes to the GW Bridge in New York City.
