This spectacular Victorian home, known as Cherry Crest, is on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Churchill Park Historic District of Stamford, NY. Built in the early 1900s, Cherry Crest has been lovingly restored - keepings its historic charm and pairing it with thoughtful modern updates. Sitting atop a hill with mountain views - this home offers craftsmanship that is hard to find in this day and age. The colorful, design-forward interiors make this home truly unique - a jewel within Stamford, a town known as the Queen of the Catskills. Entering from the grand wraparound porch, you will find two inviting parlors with original floors, wood accents, and a cozy fireplace. The formal dining room rounds out the entertaining space with its color-drenched walls and tall windows. Through the butler's pantry is the spacious kitchen with granite countertops and ample cabinet space. An updated mudroom and half bath round out this floor. Up the grand staircase to the second floor, are four bedrooms - each with its own color palette and singular flair. There is also a renovated full bathroom on this floor with a beautifully tiled shower and double sinks. Up to the third floor, and you'll find two more bedrooms and another full bathroom with a clawfoot tub. This floor of the home has been completely restored with new drywall, insulation, and the addition of mini-split units for air conditioning and heating. Recent improvements are too many to name, but include exterior paint, new second floor deck railing, electrical upgrade, refinished hardwood flooring, and a new back deck. A full unfinished basement has laundry and allows for more storage while, outside, the detached two-car garage has potential as a workshop or studio. It's an easy trip to the shops and restaurant of Stamford - a town known in the past as a Catskills resort town and now for its vibrant creative community. Nearby are the Catskills Scenic Rail Trail, hiking trails, and the bus to NYC. More charming villages such as Hobart, Delhi and Roxbury are all less than 20 minutes away. Three ski mountains are within 30 minutes and it is only two and a half hours to the GW Bridge in NYC.
