Make Some Tweaks to this Three-Bedroom Farmhouse for $199,500

  |  September 6, 2020

Are cosmetic updates and interior decorating up your alley? This southern Albany County farmhouse needs only your personal touches.

This week on Upstater, we’ve been turning our attentions toward homes for sale that need some work. While there’s a Hudson Craftsman for sale that needs a lot of work, and a Catskill Foursquare requiring a complete reno, today’s listing is a farmhouse up in Coeymans Hollow, NY that needs almost no work at all. In fact, the 1,734-square-foot interior comes with a host of new features, like the paint, hardwood floors, upstairs carpeting, and both the full and half bath fixtures.

So, if there are so many new features, what brings us to this southern Albany County listing during a week when we’re featuring fixer-uppers? Well, as you’ll see from the photos, it’s a bit of a blank slate, which is where you come in. Start with the living room and turn it into a bright, stylish space with a simple paintjob and new light fixtures…

…and, in the kitchen, you can truly put your creative side to work in revamping the layout, appliances, and cabinetry.

The home’s three bedrooms have some details like built-ins and closets, but they could benefit from de-paneling and re-painting…

…as could the bathrooms. As mentioned, they’ve been updated but you might prefer different fixtures.

The house sits on a 1.3-acre property that includes an in-ground pool that needs a deep cleaning. Some tasteful landscaping and decking would bring this area up-to-snuff, too.

Feel free to move right in and live here while you plan and execute your vision. It’s completely habitable, located in the hamlet of Coeymans Hollow, about a half-hour’s drive south to Catskill village or north to Albany.
