Catskills Farmhouse with an Old-Fashioned Feel (but modern features), $470,000

1285 Warner Hill Road, Delhi

Here’s a good example how an old-fashioned 1860s farmhouse can rub up against modern bells-and-whistles and both live together in perfect harmony. That’s sort of the way we prefer it, in all honesty. Gritty farm living is fun to romanticize, but wouldn’t you rather be warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and have indoor plumbing? Perhaps we’re spoiled.

If you’re looking for just that kind of 19th century charm with plenty of space within (3200 sq. ft., 4 beds/2 baths) and without (nearly 12 acres of land with a wide-open sky above, in-ground pool in the back yard, and big patio for outdoor entertaining) and don’t feel like dropping a cool million bucks (picture this house in, say, Dutchess County, or a few other places around the Hudson Valley. Now imagine the listing price), this could be home.

Other details include plank floors, wood stoves, crown moldings, recently upgraded insulated windows and electric, two-car garage, and a location that’s 3 hours from NYC.
