Set on a sunny knoll in prime Catskills ski country, Rusk Mountain House offers historic charm and modern amenities - plus 3 picturesque acres, with private creek access and epic mountain vistas. Lovingly hand-restored by its current owners, the nearly 2000sf antique farmhouse offers a flexible floor plan, easily accommodating versatile uses - from daily living, to working, creating, and entertaining. The highlight of the main level is a large, bright kitchen that opens into a sunny sitting room, with wood burning fireplace and glass sliders that lead out to the rear yard. These adjoining rooms enjoy stunning views of the mountain landscape, and a scenic meadow path that meanders through the rear acreage down to the creek. The custom kitchen houses an oversized island with storage, seating, and plenty of prep surface. It also features stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, 6-burner stove, and vent hood. Beyond the kitchen is a mud room with laundry, and side entry. This area has built-in ski racks, and plenty of storage for boots and other winter accessories. And also includes access to the first floor bathroom, with an original clawfoot tub - perfect for aprés ski soaks. The main level also features a welcoming front entry, open-flow dining area with bay window, and cozy den with built-in bar - all with gleaming original wood floors. Up the central stairwell, with classic curved wood banister, are four bedrooms and another full bath. This second full bathroom has a tiled walk-in shower with glass enclosure, and built-in shelving for storage. The upper level also features wood floors throughout, and access to a walk-up attic. This modern mountain homestead received many updates over the past 4 years - including spray foam insulation, Hardie plank siding, an EV charger, and double-pane windows and doors throughout. The sellers also made many improvements outside the home, like planting fruit trees & berry bushes, creating a kids playscape with geodesic jungle gym/hammock, and shoring up the old barn to preserve it for a future owners imagination. Rusk Mountain House offers the upstate trifecta of character, views, and location. Just a 4 min drive from shopping, dining, and more in the village of Hunter - and of course, the popular ski destination, with a summit elevation of 3,200 ft. Come see this ideal mix of classic charm and modern convenience for yourself, at the Open House this weekend: Sat, 12/7, 11am-2pm!
