Actor Penn Badgley listed his Catskills getaway on the open market this month with an asking price of $1.7 million. Badgley — the lead in the critically acclaimed Netflix series You — has owned the retreat since last summer.
The property is located in the alpine hamlet of Olive, New York, a hop skip and jump from the Ashokan Reservoir. It’s a ten-acre parcel, partially wooded, with mountain views. A solar array lies discreetly off to one side of the lawn. The property also features geothermal harvesting for the 3,500 square-footer’s energy needs.
The house dates to 2013. A white pine P&B structure is the lattice for a convincing farmhouse, with the spatial and lifestyle largesse especially prominent; witness the large, sweeping wraparound porch. Inside, the four-bedroom, four-bath home is charmingly rustic, although a contemporary restraint prevails.
The shared space is open concept, with plank floors finished very warm and plentiful glass for abundant natural light. The country life simplicity is a constant. A bluestone mudroom with a wraparound boot bench is the point of entry, and the kitchen is outfitted with soapstone counters, a butcher-block-capped island, a six-burner stove, and a woodstove; an all-business enclosed fireplace in a stone accent wall also contributes to winter comfort.
As currently configured, the property has numerous specialty spaces, including an upper-level music room (Roland JC, drum kit and Rhodes presumably not included with sale), a library, and a 2-bay garage.
