Honeysuckle Rose

Irresistible turn-of-the-century summer cottage in the Catskills—what was considered in those days a mansion in the mountains. Honeysuckle Rose was built by Dorothy Shaver, the first woman to head a multi-million dollar company in the U.S., the merchandising behemoth Lord & Taylor. Set back from the road and a short walk to the Deer Mountain Inn and the Onteora Club, this historic beauty has show-stopper potential. Nestled on six acres and backed by thousands of acres of protected state land, the property has a stone walled garden with fountains and a covered gazebo. Option to restore the natural stone pool, the hundred-year-old specimen plants and the old cistern designed for maintaining the gardens. With fresh air, crisp pure water, and potential long mountain views, this is an outdoor paradise. The interior of this stately stone & wood home is ripe for re-envisioning its full grandeur. Multiple fireplaces, porches, and large bedrooms. The price reflects further work needed, while the fully restored nearby properties support the value.  EXCLUSIVE
