Historic Catskills Charm at “Brevoort” — Character, Light & Village Living
Discover Brevoort, a lovingly preserved 1898 home rich with character and Catskills history. Originally built as part of Granthurst Park, an elegant late-19th-century development in Stamford, NY—known as the “Queen of the Catskills”—this 5-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence offers vintage warmth with thoughtful updates.
Nestled on the outer edge of the Village of Stamford, Brevoort welcomes you with a gracious front yard framed by an old stone wall, a classic front porch perfect for relaxing, and a private back deck. A detached garage/storage shed and an asphalt driveway provide parking for two vehicles.
Inside, charm abounds: the living room features a handsome brick fireplace; a formal dining room showcases a beamed ceiling; and dual front and back staircases lead upstairs to four bright bedrooms and a full bath. Original windows grace the front of the home, while newer thermal windows elsewhere offer improved efficiency. Abundant natural light, warm wood details, and high-speed internet make this home comfortable year-round and suitable for remote work.
Set on a manageable .3-acre lot, Brevoort places you minutes from village amenities—local cafés, shops, library, and dining—and right near the scenic Catskill Rail Trail for walking, biking, or skiing. Mount Utsayantha’s famed fire tower is also close by, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
With its rare blend of historic appeal, functional updates, and a coveted Stamford location, Brevoort is ready to be your full-time home, weekend retreat, or investment in the heart of the Catskills. Schedule your private tour today.
