48 Willa Lane, Chichester, NY 12416

Set along a quiet no-thru road just off one of the Catskills most scenic byways, this generous 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on 1.22 acres with views is designed to be enjoyed in all four seasons. There is something timeless about long summer afternoons by the heated in-ground pool, outdoor dinners on the deck, and evenings by the fire as the seasons change.An oversized kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, slate floors, and direct access to the deck flows naturally into the dramatic Great Room, where soaring ceilings, warm knotty pine paneling, walls of glass overlooking the pool and deck, a striking brick fireplace, and a cozy corner wood stove combine to create the unmistakable character of a classic mountain lodge.Elsewhere, the homes thoughtful layout offers flexibility for full-time living, entertaining, remote work, and overnight guests. The primary bedroom, spacious den/guest area, and an additional large bedroom all open directly onto the pool deck, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow that makes the most of the warmer months.The expansive deck, outdoor shower, and heated in-ground pool create an easy extension of daily life, whether enjoying breakfast outside, entertaining friends, or simply watching evening light filter across the property. Pool set-ups of this size and setting are an increasingly uncommon find in this part of the Catskills, and with mountain views in the distance, its the kind of place where afternoons drift into evening, conversations linger, and it becomes remarkably easy to lose track of time.Established landscaping, mature trees, and classic stone walls frame an unusually generous expanse of level, usable land - another rarity in the region. The property enjoys picturesque mountain views, with the potential for even wider vistas through selective clearing, while the level grounds offer exceptional flexibility for gardens, a fenced dog run, a studio or workshop, a play area, or simply room to spread out and enjoy. There may even be the opportunity for a future guest house or accessory structure, subject to municipal approvals.Flexible living areas accommodate remote work, creative pursuits, extended stays, and gatherings large or small, making the home equally suited to full-time living or weekend escapes.Just minutes from Phoenicia and close to Belleayre Mountain, Hunter Mountain, hiking, fishing, and countless outdoor adventures, it offers easy access to everything that draws people here - though some of the best moments may simply be spent at home.
