A Cobbled Cottage in Kerhonkson: $99K

  |  November 15, 2024

Welcome to Five-Figure Friday, and a cobbled-together cottage in Kerhonkson.

It’s cute; but for now, it’s only a three-season place.  Tucked on a half-acre lot in the woods, it emanates hobbit vibes.

Does it need work? Well, does a bear do its business in the woods?

Yup.

The main living area, like most hunting-cabin-like places, is open from the living room through the dining room and into the kitchen.

This rustic stone fireplace in the living room has firewood stacked and waiting.

This corner is cozy and inviting.

And the light fixture above the dining table? Well, the house was built in 1970—and, though it may have been old-fashioned even then, this fixture is lit by O.G. gas-light (and not the kind that your shitty boyfriend tried to pull on you).

Note the box o’firewood next to the stove, too. That’s because the range is fueled by both wood and gas. It’ll take a special owner to appreciate the work involved in living here, for sure; but it will be worth it.

Vintage-lovers will adore this farmhouse sink. Although there are mounted taps, there’s also a hand pump for water…so due diligence is needed to sleuth out exactly where the water is sourced.

Old-fashioned cabinets provide storage space. And there’s a parquet floor, for those who appreciate that.

Yes, that’s another O.G. gaslight in the kitchen.

The water heater is electric, and sits behind the fridge in a nook.

It warms the water for the shower. That steel toilet is interesting, because it’s actually an incinerating toilet. It goes without saying that upgrades are probably needed here, if town permits allow them.

This bedroom is a nice size and has the requisite ’70s-era paneling on the walls. The rounded roof recalls this room’s original use as a school bus. No, really, according to the listing, that’s true.

The second bedroom has the same lines.

The trout stream is an oasis on a tough day.

And there’s a firepit, too. The price was recently reduced by $26,000, bringing it to five figures.
