A RARE opportunity to own a mixed-use property that seamlessly blends historic elegance, income potential, and commercial versatility. This extraordinary 3 BR 2 BA 1900 VICTORIAN, complete with a separate 2 BR 1 BA apartment, is set on a 0.78-acre lot in the heart of Big Indian.
RICH IN HISTORY and timeless character, the main residence is highlighted by original wood floors, beautifully preserved natural woodwork, soaring ceilings and windows, with classic period details throughout. Two of the bedrooms upstairs feature adjoining sitting rooms or parlors, ideal for reading nooks, home offices, or private retreats or an additional sleeping area. The bathroom is a true nod to the home's heritage, featuring an original tin ceiling and a classic clawfoot bathtub.
PRIVATELY situated at the rear of the property, a detached apartment offers excellent potential for rental income, guest accommodations, or extended living. Recently refurbished, the apartment includes a stainless steel propane stove, refrigerator, and updated kitchen and bathroom fixtures with a separate laundry room under the stairs.
THE APARTMENT sits above a garage which is 809 SF. The garage level provides a dedicated workspace with a half bath, well-suited for a studio, workshop, or small business, enhanced by the property's desirable commercial zoning.
IDEALLY located along a scenic corridor, the property is just minutes from popular destinations such as Peekamoose Restaurant, Phoenicia Diner, The Phoenician, and Woodstock Brewing. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate close proximity to Belleayre Mountain, Belleayre Lake, and Esopus Creek, offering year-round recreation including skiing, hiking, fishing, and concerts. Additional ski destinations such as Hunter Mountain, Windham Mountain, and Plattekill Mountain are all within a short drive.
Recent updates include newer windows, updated siding and gutters, newer well pump and pressure tank, roofs approximately 10 years old, and separate 200-amp electric services for both the house and garage/apartment. There is a small stream in the rear of the yard which is scenic from the deck of the apartment.
Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, weekend escape, live/work opportunity, or investment property, this one-of-a-kind offering captures the very best of Catskills living.
