On the Beach in Saugerties, $229,599

  |  January 3, 2013

A little birdy tipped us off to this place. Said birdy has been watching the price fall on it for the last year, and has some words to recommend it: “It’s such a great house right on the Esopus, about three steps from the Saugerties swimming beach…and it has an outdoor shower!”

Some of those are magic words (“outdoor shower”=heart melting), especially to those of us who, well, didn’t know there was a swimming beach in Saugerties. It has a lovely garden, and the listing says views, though we don’t see them. You’ll notice an absence of kitchen photos, too, which keeps us from saying, “Yes, we’ll take it, sight unseen.” Let us see the sight!

It’s three beds and three baths, packed into 1,122 square feet, and very close to the new luxury hotel in town, in case you’re interested in a job there. Something nice about Saugerties: folks are investing in it. What do you think of the price? Looks like they very reluctantly dropped below $230,000. It was listed over a year ago at $250,000.
