About this property
Sunny house on Lake Oscawana
Lovely year round house on the shores of Lake Oscawana in Putnam County, just 1h 15m from NYC, and very close to Fahnestock State Park for stunning hikes. The views and tranquility are wonderful, and the house is very cosy.
4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, sauna, dock, lake front, 3 walls of windows, fully stocked kitchen (everything you could want pots and utensils-wise, plus spices and everything), big deck, and use of 2 paddleboards, 1 kayak, 1 canoe. It is a sunny delight, very quiet and beautiful.
Entering from street level, the dining room, living room, kitchen and deck are all accessible with no stairs. There is one King bedroom (en suite) and one Queen with another bathroom upstairs; downstairs there is a Queen and a family room with two Twins and two Trundles.

About the area
Putnam Valley
Located in Putnam Valley, this holiday home is in a rural area and on a lake. Putnam County Golf Course and Mohansic Golf Course are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Stonecrop Gardens and Manitoga The Russel Wright Design Center.

About the host
Hosted by Gaby Darbyshire

I'm a Brit who moved to the States in 1999 and never left, although I spend a fair amount of time in Europe still. I work in the media industry.
Why they chose this property
I've been coming to Lake Oscawana with friends for years, and was looking for a house up here for at least 5 years. They don't come up too often, so when I heard that Cayuga Road was for sale, I dropped everything and ran up to see it before it went on the market. I fell in love with it, and put in an offer immediately after seeing it.
The house has an incredibly good vibe, so says everyone who comes to stay. It is just a lovely, happy house. Apparently Babe Ruth used to get his hair cut in the front bedroom of the house, which in the 1920s was the barber's place.

What makes this property unique
The views are stunning: it looks across the water to a nature reserve. It's a lovely community, and Cold Spring, which is charming, is a mere 16 minutes away. Amazing hiking, access to the Hudson River, and fun on the lake: what's not to love? Oh, and the claw foot tub in the stone bathroom? That's my favourite room in the house! ;-)
