Property Description
Perched atop the Helderberg Escarpment, this charming circa-1800s country cottage sits on 3.7 acres of open lawn & mature woods, complete with views that rival the iconic Thacher Park Overlook. Inside, this 3BR home is filled with authentic character, from exposed barn beams & built-ins to beautifully restored original wide-plank hardwood floors. A wood-burning stove adds warmth & coziness to the dining area. While its historic character takes center stage, the home has seen plenty of updates along the way, including a remodeled kitchen, A/C, replacement windows, a newer roof & chimney stack. An original outbuilding rounds out the property, offering useful storage today and plenty of potential to be reimagined for hobbies, a workshop, or livestock. Just minutes from Thacher State Park & its miles of trails & outdoor recreation, while still an easy drive to Albany, the airport & major highways, this is a unique opportunity for someone who appreciates country living, historic charm & a home they can continue making their own.
