A home away from home in Youngsville

fter a long week in the city, this quintessential country farmhouse in Youngsville will awaken your feeling of home and let your problems melt away as you gaze upon the Catskill Mountains. Only two hours away from the George Washington Bridge and nestled on 35 plus acres, this 1850 former dairy farm has all the amenities you will need to unplug and unwind. The sellers have owned this property for 13 years and have enjoyed it as a second home, but “It's time to pass on the stewardship.” You will be greeted by a stone wall as you enter the side patio, where you can sit, read and greet your guest for your summer barbecue as you look unto your raised-bed vegetable garden that is entirely fenced in order to keep the critters out. The patio is surrounded by perennials and raspberry plants, which are ready to be picked and eaten. Stove pavers will greet your feet as you enter the house dubbed the “miracle farm” by the sellers. Many years ago they took a drive along the country roads of Youngsville and fell in love with this house. Soon after, the seller's saw the house listed on a window in New York City, and they knew it was

meant to be. Passing the mudroom you enter the spacious kitchen with all original 19th century wood flooring. The kitchen table sits snugged between two large windows ready for a chair to be pulled up and with a late morning breakfast and a crossword puzzle. A beautiful green tile counter surrounds the farmhouse sink giving you enough space to keep all of your kitchen essentials easily within arms reach. A coffee maker, tea kettle, utensils and toaster all within your grasp. The pantry room, which is located off the kitchen, provides plenty of space to store plenty of packaged beverages, food, and dishes on its original 19th century built in cabinets. Off the kitchen, your guest will enjoy a snug bedroom with his or her own private entrance that leads out to the spacious side yard. While you are there you can a take a moment and rest on the hammock while being surrounded by the birds singing their afternoon songs as they come to feast on the feeders that are hung from the healthy mature trees. In the open living room you are greeted with a fireplace, which is not part of the original house, but will surely keep you warm during the late fall and early winter nights. With plenty of room to entertain your guest or just to have family dinner after a long day of visiting the local shops that are minutes away. On the first level, the perfectly situated master bedroom allows for plenty of light to come through the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original window glass planes. The bedroom features a full private en-suite bathroom. The heated steam pipe that comes through the bedroom floor from the part stoned basement will keep you nice and toasty as you wake up and watch the sun rise over the Catskill Mountains. Upstairs you will find a third bedroom that features a full bathroom and claw foot tub. The bedroom offers fantastic views of the Hudson Valley and the many apple, plum, and pear trees that are throughout the property. The front porch has all the makings of a perfect country home where you can overlook the beautiful Catskill Mountains and its valleys. Come out with a book to read or simply just watch the clouds pass by. Watch the deer as they start their early morning breakfast or watch the squirrels and chipmunks as they harvest food for the winter. No farmhouse would be complete without a barn, and this property has two. As you enter the barn, you can feel the history and wisdom of the location. The barns do a bit of modernizing, but the possibilities are endless. It is an all beam post construction with hand-hewn timber and enough space to hold gatherings, weddings or have that studio space you always wanted. This country farmhouse is perfect for the couple or family who want to experience the Catskill in a warm and inviting environment. There are restaurants and art galleries nearby that will allow you to fully experience the country and the culture that exists in the Catskills. The location is perfect for you to stretch your legs and get back to a simpler way of life.

5 ways to make homes safer njuries that occur around the home contribute to millions of medical visits and tens of thousands of fatalities each year. Falls account for the largest percentage of home accidents, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that around 30,000 fall-related fatalities occur each year in the United States. Many home accidents are entirely preventable when proper caution is exercised. As homeowners prepare for homeimprovement projects, improving safety inside and outside the home should be a priority.

1. Improve lighting One of the easiest ways to reduce the risk of falls is to improve lighting around the home. The National Institutes of Health state that adequate lighting is important at entrances to the home, stairways, hallways, and other frequently traversed areas. Make sure lighting fixtures are using the highest wattage light bulb allowed. Artificial lighting sources become even more vital in fall and autumn, when natural light is less abundant in a home. In addition, install lighting outdoors by the front door, over the garage and where garbage pails are stored to facilitate safe passage. 2. Eliminate slick surfaces

October 20, 2017. Discount is for sets only.

Improving traction around the house also can minimize falls. Throw rugs and runners can be made more secure with nonslip rubber backings. Bath rugs can reduce slipping on wet surfaces in the bathroom. Also, nonslip mats can be used inside of showers and bathtubs. Use shoe trays to reduce puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matte- or texturedfinished flooring to improve stability underfoot. Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can help melt precipitation before it accumulates.

Stairs should be free of clutter and have sturdy railings.

3. Make needed repairs Repair loose floorboards and pull carpet taut if it has started to stretch out. Address cracks outdoors and ensure that patio stones, bricks and pavers are secure and level to reduce tripping hazards. Fix areas of the landscape where water may pool and freeze, creating potential hazards.

4. Declutter all spaces Remove unnecessary items and furniture from rooms to free up more space to get around. Be sure there are no obstructions in walkways, entryways and near doors. Keep staircases clear at all times.

5. Invest in assistive devices Handrails, grab bars, nonslip stair treads, and many other devices can make homes safer for people of all ages and abilities. Outfit cabinets and closets with organizers that put frequently used items within easy reach. A sturdy step stool can reduce the risk of injury while reaching for items stored on high shelves. Taking measures to reduce the risk of falling around the home is a worthwhile home improvement project.

Victorian architecture was particularly popular in North America from around 1860 until the early 1900s. Built in 1906, you'll find the traditional attic, peaks, sharp roof profile and elegant, original stained glass to be a reflection of the time period. There are many unique details to this

Chimney maintenance a major consideration in home safety

s temperatures drop and thoughts once again turn to lighting fires and sitting down with a good book, it's important to revisit chimney maintenance. Even though chimneys do not require daily upkeep, regular maintenance efforts help chimneys operate safely and pre-

vent deaths and injuries while protecting homes from fire. Various problems can arise when chimneys are not well maintained. Such problems include chimney fires, carbon monoxide poisoning and early failure of the chimney and heating sources that the chimney vents. Carbon monoxide can be scary, as it is virtually invisible without a proper detector. The National Vital Statistics System says that, in 2015, 393 deaths resulted from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning in the United States. When carbon monoxide is breathed in, it builds up quickly and

combines with the blood, reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen. The Canada Safety Council says that body tissue and cells can't function without oxygen. Chimney fires are another potential byproduct of poor chimney maintenance. The Chimney Safety Institute of America notes that chimneys expel the byproducts of combustion, including smoke, water vapor, gases, unburned wood particles, hydrocarbon, tar fog, and assorted minerals, which can condense on the inside of the chimney flue. The residue, called creosote, is highly combustible. With the right conditions, a chimney fire can occur. To avoid chimney fires and other risks, take these precautions, courtesy of CSIA, HomeAdvisor and Popular Mechanics.

• Have chimneys inspected annually and properly cleaned by a professional chimney technician. • Make sure tree branches and other

obstacles are cleared away from the top of the chimney.

• Use seasoned hardwoods that have

been split for several months to a year. "Green" wood creates more creosote.

• The top-down method of building a fire produces less smoke. This means using larger pieces of wood on the bottom and the smallest twigs and kindling at the top. The fire will burn from the top and down, igniting the wood beneath as it goes. • Put a cap on the chimney to keep out rain, snow and small animals. • Keep fires small; otherwise, the intense heat may damage bricks and mortar in the chimney. Repair any damage promptly before lighting another fire. • Open the damper and fireplace doors so that air supply flows freely and can vent the smoke promptly, reducing residence time in the flue; otherwise, creosote can form.

• Install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms throughout the home and routinely check the batteries. Learn more about chimney maintenance and find a certified chimney sweep at www.csia.org.
