From the front porch of this c.1900 farmhouse, the soundtrack of the Lackawaxen River drifts clearly through the air—a constant, calming presence that mingles with birdsong and breeze. Perched on a gentle rise, the home looks out across sweeping views of the river and rolling hills, a seasonally changing canvas of light and color. •The approach is a study in country charm: perennial gardens weave among natural rock formations, creating pockets of beauty that invite pause—quiet corners for morning coffee, a book, or conversation with friends. A stone patio and rocking-chair porch offer front-row seats to the eagles foraging over the water. •Inside, the home retains its character from the early century with wainscoting, chair rails, and built-ins. The thoroughly modern kitchen is at the heart of the house, finished with slate counters, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. •On one side of the home, a dining area opens for either quotidian or celebratory meals. There is also a corner sitting area with South and West light incoming, and the perennial sounds of the river. On the other side, the living space centers around a wood stove and a built-in reading nook with an uber cozy daybed. A fully renovated full bath is opposite the kitchen, which features a tiled, walk-in shower with a glass door, and laundry cleverly hidden behind a shade. •Two staircases lead to the bedrooms above. Guest rooms, bright with views of the river, are reached by the first. The first bedroom has plenty of room for a queen or king-size bed and has built-in bookshelves. The adjacent bedroom is set up with two twin beds and feels enveloped by the warmth of the beadboard ceiling. •The second stairway climbs to the primary suite—a sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, an open layout, and an open, en suite bath. The pedestal sink and bath are open to the room, with a separate WC. French doors spill onto a private deck bordered by gardens and wildflowers, leading to the backyard and a yoga platform. A large shed serves as a repository for all things gardening. It also has a convenient, covered firewood storage area. •Set on a very quiet, dead-end road, this farmhouse offers not only peace and privacy but also a deep connection to nature. With the river’s song as your constant soundtrack, it is a place to slow down, savor, and stay awhile. •Located just across the iconic Roebling Bridge (Roebling’s first suspension project, pre-Brooklyn Bridge), the sweet river towns of Barryville and Narrowsburg are easily accessible. So think VERY low PA taxes with the benefits of an easy drive to shops and restaurants in the great towns. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
