Rock The Catskills

Idlewild, were it not 100+ miles away in the Catskills, might just be The Bird's dream perch.

The story of the man who bought it for $22k and then renovated the crap out of it, is way more interesting than anything I could say about, say, the cool cabinetry or the "Writer's studio."

I will say this, however: Stately Bushwick Manor needs its very own copy of Carpentry, by Gaspar Lewis!
