3 bedrooms, 1 bath, approximately 1250 square feet. Built 1865.
Entry level property on Rte. 28 between the towns of Margaretville and Andes.

Built in 1865 the cottage retains its original wide plank flooring, fireplace, staircase, and charming dormers. 2 connected outbuildings, including the original barn, would make an ideal artist studio. Park-like grounds lead to the river, and are shielded on all sides by large evergreens. An eat-in kitchen with antique hoosier and wood cooking stove, and an updated bath complete the package. This affordable starter Catskill home gets you in 15 mins. to skiing at Belleayre, 10 mins. to the shops and galleries of Andes, 4 mins to Margaretville Commons shops and Freshtown groceries, and 2.5 hours to the George Washington Bridge.
