About 110 Silver Birch Way

Ferns quivering in the summer breeze. An unreasonable number of birds trading song for birdseed at the feeders. As bargains go, it's a good one. Life at Silver Birch has the best of many worlds. The ticking of many boxes. First, the efficiency and functionality of a 2019 Catskill Farms 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom build. The location is set in the rolling pastoral hills of Bethel. Solar panels, owned outright, keep energy costs extremely low. A meticulously upkept home with a recently added office and custom-built shed. The list goes on. The main living area presents itself well. Large windows draw in a dappling, generous light, and the upward-sloping ceiling gives the space a sense of volume that feels larger than its footprint suggests. Upper windows pull light in from above, morning through evening. The entry sets a practical tone: bluestone floors, a coat closet, a bench for shoes. Small decisions that accumulate and make a house easy to live in. The living area centers on a stone-faced, wood-burning fireplace, patiently waiting until its season to shine. A dining table anchors the transition between living and kitchen, and the kitchen itself is open and highly functional: a vented Wolf range at the helm, quartz counters throughout, built for a dinner party as easily as a quiet weeknight meal. The deck is the natural extension of all of it. It looks down onto the firepit and the surrounding plantings, with room for a full outdoor dining setup and a screened section for a buggy evening. The bird feeders attract an amazing display of visiting avian friends. A new owner will want to keep them coming around. Down the hallway, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The primary has large windows with blinds and a generous closet. The second is currently configured with a bunk bed but accommodates a king or queen without difficulty. The bathroom is quietly lovely: subway tile, pine floors, two windows, a medicine cabinet, and a chunky wood vanity that anchors the room with the right amount of weight. Downstairs, the house opens up considerably. A den offers the ideal conditions for an evening read or some television. The third bedroom is privately situated here — bright, well-proportioned, and comfortable with a king. A second full bathroom has a glass shower door and a pebble-tile shower floor. The unfinished portion of the basement serves as storage and project space; tucked within it, a newly finished 120 sq ft office is bright and purpose-built for working from home. Through the glass doors of the lower level, a shaded terrace with a bistro table and chairs — the kind of spot that looks best in the evening, string lights strung overhead, and the stone-bordered firepit doing its work nearby. The large, 8’x12’ electrified garden shed was custom-built to match the house aesthetic. There is a EV charger mounted to the shed for easy acess. The barn-style door makes access easy, and there is much storage space. Bethel Woods is eight minutes away. Jeffersonville is twelve. Callicoon and Narrowsburg are each twenty-three. All are close enough for dinner, far enough for quiet.
