198 Kelder Road , Olivebridge, NY 12461

Expertly renovated, color-forward, and fully committed to redeeming the reputation of the split-level. Set on 5 quiet, wildly private acres in Olive, this home has been reimagined from the studs up into something bright, easy, and stylish, more 'design magazine long weekend than 'your uncle's time capsule. High ceilings clad in warm wood paneling nod to its 70s roots without dragging along any of the era's unfortunate habits, while new XL Andersen windows keep everything feeling open and refined. Oak hardwood floors run throughout, grounding the home in warmth and continuity.On the main floor, the living, dining, and kitchen area pulls you in immediately. Light floods the space, catching the stainless-steel island and the rich merlot cabinetry for a look that feels bold but considered. The kitchen pairs that color-forward moment with tasteful modern lighting, a generous pantry, and a full suite of new Forno appliances. Premium minimalist fixtures keep everything crisp and cohesive. In the corner by the oversized window, a woodstove adds just the right amount of Upstate coziness without tipping into cabin kitsch. Slide open the accordion doors and the deck becomes a seamless extension of the room, turning everyday dinners or slow weekend mornings into an easy indoor-outdoor ritual.Down the hall are three comfortable bedrooms, each with a proper, generously sized closet. The primary suite includes an en-suite bath and an oversized closet of its own, while the additional bedrooms share another clean-lined, modern full bathroom. The finishes throughout feel timeless and quietly confident.The lower level opens into a sprawling living and media room that can handle movie nights, guests, or whatever hobby currently demands extra square footage. Just outside, a patio extends the space even further, creating a second outdoor zone that feels tucked away and private. This level also includes a third full bathroom, a dedicated laundry room, a storage room, and access to the two garages. An EV charger is already installed in the garage, ready for wherever you're driving next.Out back, the acreage stretches out quietly and privately, with a backyard that's level and sunny enough to accommodate a future pool if that's on your wish list. The setting strikes that perfect Catskills balance: wooded and peaceful, yet close to everything that makes this corner of Olive so easy to love.And when you're ready to venture out, you're surrounded by the best parts of this pocket of the Catskills.
