Property Description
In the heart of Kerhonkson, a renovated 1890s cottage awaits its new owner. This 836 sq ft home, sitting on a corner lot, offers a unique blend of historic character and contemporary comfort.
As you approach, you'll notice the mature trees and flowering shrubs that frame the property. The front porch, built with local cedar, provides a welcoming entrance and a perfect spot for relaxation.
Inside, the home reveals its history. During renovation, it was discovered that the exterior walls are constructed of 2-inch thick by 12-inch wide vertical wooden planks - a rare find that speaks to the craftsmanship of the era. This discovery inspired a thoughtful renovation that preserves the home's character while adding modern amenities.
The layout has been cleverly reversed, with the main living areas now on the upper floor. Upstairs, you'll find a bright, open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area. The kitchen features leathered granite countertops and solid wood cabinetry, while red oak floors with a low-VOC finish add warmth throughout.
Downstairs, two bedrooms (or a bedroom and home office) offer versatile living space. with polished concrete floors. A hidden understairs closet with a custom door provides additional storage.
Throughout the home, you'll find a balance of old and new. Shiplap details nod to the cottage's history, while modern amenities like Fujitsu mini-splits and a heat recovery ventilator ensure efficient, fossil fuel-free living.
Outside, the corner lot features level upper and lower lawns, ideal for gardening or outdoor activities. The lower lawn is completely fenced in, providing a safe space for children and pets. A 320 sq ft detached garage with custom-built doors offers additional storage or workspace.
126 Church Street is a residence that tells a timeless story while embracing the future, a seamless integration of historical character and contemporary efficiency. Perfectly positioned in the beloved Catskill Region, this property strikes an ideal balance between village life and natural beauty. A short walk takes you to Mill and Main for your morning coffee or evening meal. The historic O & W Rail Trail, also just steps away, offers easy access for leisurely walks and bike rides.
