For residents of Ulster County, the words “creekside cottage in Lake Katrine” doesn’t have the romantic ring to it that one might think it would for a cute place on the water. Properties along the Esopus Creek tend to flood if there’s a big storm like Irene, which would explain this home’s designation as high-risk according to Floodsmart.gov. So, the cards are on the table about the risks involved.

With that aside, let’s move on to the aspects we love about this little 720 square foot, 1 bed/1 bath cottage. Situated halfway between Saugerties and Kingston, the angular home on nearly half-an acre offers a wall of windows to enjoy your creek view, mid-mod living room stove, open floor plan, sleeping loft, and ground floor living space. The deck is spacious but needs sprucing up, as does the rest of the house. Could be a project with a big payoff, though.
