We’ve been fascinated by these 19th century brick rowhouses just north of Athens village for quite some time. History has it that the rowhouses were built to house the workers Saratoga-Hudson River Railway. Never heard of it? Not surprising, since the entire project seemed cursed. In fact, these rowhouses are the only reminders of the failed railway, a fact that only makes them even more cool and interesting in our book. Now take a look at the inside of this one currently on the market, which has been extensively renovated but with older details still intact, like the pressed tin ceilings and original pine flooring. The 1200 square foot townhouse is 2 beds/2 baths, and according to the listing, the current owner intends to close off the shared entryway to the building and divide the back yard. Steps from the Hudson River, just a few minutes from Athens village in Greene County, and 20 minutes from the Hudson Amtrak station.
