About 47220 State Highway 10

Just north of Delhi, where the West Branch of the Delaware bends past one of the county's last covered bridges, a rise above the water holds this classic single-floor 1950s home. High enough to stay clear of any high water, low enough to hear the river all day long -- it's a rare balance in Catskills river living. A small front stoop opens to a sunny living room, its wood-framed windows doing most of the talking. The kitchen sits open just beyond, updated with newer appliances and warm-toned cabinets offering real storage. Past that, a more recent addition takes over: brown carpet underfoot, wood-paneled walls, and a brick hearth built around a cast-iron coal stove that will carry the house through the coldest stretch of winter. A half bath, a stacked washer and dryer, and doors out to the covered deck and the garage keep this room working as hard as it feels comfortable. Down the hall, four bedrooms and a full bath continue the gray-carpeted, window-lit consistency of the rest of the home. Below it all, a full basement gives a tinkerer room to spread out -- workshop, sewing space, play room -- alongside a second washer/dryer, slop sink, and the mechanicals: oil-fired furnace and water heater, a newer well pressure tank and particulate filter, and a newer 100-amp panel. Outside is where this property earns its keep. A paved driveway leads to a 2-car garage with a serviceable workshop and generous storage in back. Across the bank, a field and mountain frame the river in every season, and the water is close enough to put a canoe in for an evening paddle whenever the mood strikes. Just under an acre, and all the quiet that comes with it.
