The space
There’s something inherently peaceful and restorative about Monroe, NY. The New York Times describes Monroe as the “Shangri-La '' of the Catskills foothills. Nestled in the mountains in the heart of the Hudson Valley, close to the Hudson River, and just an hour north of Midtown Manhattan, bucolic Monroe has also been likened to the tranquil foothills of Scotland.
This extraordinary, 3,000 sq. ft., freshly, fully, and beautifully renovated, 5BR/3BA, ranch-style home sits on four private acres of tranquil, pristine land. The massive, fenced-in yard and garden area boasts a beautiful in-ground swimming pool (seasonal), a fountain, a sauna, a spacious trex deck with a BBQ, alfresco dining and plenty of lounge chairs, a gazebo, a firepit, and tasteful landscape lighting that transforms the pool area into a magical, romantic oasis at night!
