Upstater

 

The listing calls to contractors and flippers, but why not settle into the village of Marlboro? It’s located west of the Hudson, right on the Orange/Ulster Co. line, less than 20 minutes from the Beacon Metro-North and 90 minutes from NYC. More importantly, it’s within striking distance of a half-dozen Hudson Valley wineries: Bernmarl, Brunel & Rafael, Weed Orchards, Stoutridge…you get the idea. Dangerous proposition though it may seem, this part of wine country is gorgeous, and you’ll even get a Hudson River view from this solid 2500 sq. ft. home.

The listing also says it needs some TLC, but you can see there are some plank floors included plus a mother/daughter apartment that could be opened up to create even more space. Our favorite feature, however, is the big backyard in a village setting. Idyllic might be the word you’re looking for.

Like so many five-figure properties, this is a cash-only deal, and you’ll need proof of funds. But, around here, we embrace potential like this and let our imaginations go wild. Now you play along!
