Catskill House

I bought a farmhouse in April 2022. Located in Palenville, NY, the house was built in 1890. I updated the entire home: exterior and interior. Getting my hands dirty with the garden was enormously gratifying, an aspect of the house I didn't expect to enjoy so much. View listing and photos of the house when I purchased it.
