Car-Free Country House: Phoenicia Cape, $265,000
Kandy Harris | October 2, 2013We love looking at cute cottages and houses in Phoenicia, but then we get nervous and start asking, “But…but…flooding?” That’s just how things are now. However, while this cape on an acre-and-a-quarter is a stone’s throw from the Esopus Creek, it’s also perched up high enough where flooding shouldn’t be a concern. Lots of cuteness going on here, too, with pretty views of both mountains and water, plus a great back deck. Very roomy inside. We would consider brightening up the kitchen a bit and possibly doing something about the wallpaper situation. Otherwise, it looks nice. The Trailways bus stops a half-mile away, and it’s walking distance to businesses in the village.
If you’re house hunting and curious about flood risks, you can plug the address in to Floodsmart.gov, and it will give you a brief, general risk assessment.
