A Brick-and-Stone Cottage—and Former Ammo House: $275K

  |  September 16, 2024

When times are uncertain, we tend to crave solidity. This week, Upstater’s visiting homes made of brick or stone—or, in the case of today’s house, both.

The Potash House, an adorable brick-and-stone cottage, used to be an ammunition house in its first iteration in the 1760s! It’s been reimagined into a cozy, two-story home.

A wood-look floor and wood paneling complement thick white trim in the living room. Bay windows let in lots of light.

A brick-lined fireplace is a nice touch.

The fireplace corner is right next to the kitchen doorway.

Simple, white cabinetry and white counters are fairly basic but pretty in their simplicity. The new owner might want to match the color of the appliances and pick up some new ones, however.

A half-bath on the main level is handy. A vanity and separate cupboard offer up more-than-expected storage.

Those quarter-round windows visible from the front belong to the second-story bedroom, which has an angled ceiling and wall-to-wall carpeting.

A smaller room has potential for a second bedroom. It needs a refresh and new carpeting.

A second bathroom, with a shower stall, is also on the second floor.

Here we see the transition from brick to stone. Old-home lovers will appreciate this rusticity.

The house sits on less than a tenth of an acre, at an unfortunately busy intersection—which probably explains the low asking price. Still, that means it’s close to conveniences like shopping, highways, and places to grab a drink, like The Bar on West & Main.

The Wappinger Creek is right in the backyard, too.
