Welcome to 636 Susquehanna Turnpike (Route 22 Main Street ), a beautifully renovated Georgian Colonial home in Durham, New York, set amid the scenic foothills of the Catskill Mountains. Blending historic charm with thoughtful modern updates, this inviting property offers comfortable living spaces, memorable outdoor settings, and easy access to four-season recreation.
Inside, gleaming wide-plank wood floors, high ceilings, and a traditional foyer with a spindle-railed staircase create an immediate sense of warmth and character. The renovated kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a downdraft propane cooktop, generous counter space, and the home's original porcelain farmhouse sink. A traditional walk-in pantry adds abundant shelving and a stainless-steel utility sink.
Just beyond the kitchen, an informal family room near the coffee station offers a relaxed place to begin the day. When it is time to entertain, the formal dining room flows into a spacious living room and out to the covered wraparound porch. Spend quiet evenings stargazing over the backyard meadow or gathering around the firepit with family and friends.
The second floor provides a peaceful private retreat. The primary En suite opens to an upper deck and includes a walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, a laundry area, and a comfortable sitting area complete the level.
Outside, the open meadow offers room to create an organic garden--and perhaps keep a chicken or two. From this convenient Catskills location, enjoy skiing at Windham Mountain Club, summer golf, and fly-fishing in Catskill Creek or enjoy East Durhams restaurants , shops and weekend venues just minutes away; Albany and Kingston are each approximately 30 minutes away, making this an appealing full-time residence or country escape.
Enjoy the confidence of major improvements completed with care, all while retaining the details that give this home its distinctive personality. New electrical service, new boiler and water system. New roof and windows and doors, renovated kitchen and bathrooms, restored wide-plank floors and staircase and preserved closets and built-in shelving.
