1800s homestead

Historic Hyde Park, NY is home to this 1800s homestead consisting of two three-bedroom houses separated by a barn.

Oh yes you can own two houses for the price of one, especially if you’re willing to do some of your own personalizing and updating. Not that either of these two houses need a ton of work, starting with the three-bedroom main house, which comes with a living room wood stove, exposed brick and beams, French doors, and wood floors.
