Built in the 1790s, this stone cottage in Saugerties village needs work, but some completed improvements provide a solid head-start on the project.

There’s no doubt that buying a property that’s around 230 years old is an investment, in terms of both funds and labor. However, if you’ve got both, there’s a lot to love about this Dutch Colonial house constructed of sturdy stone, situated in Saugerties, NY…

…with a 1,974-square-foot interior that comes with a whole passel of original goodies, like plank floors, exposed ceiling support beams, a brick fireplace, recessed windows, plaster walls, and hardware.

Got plans already drawn up in your head for a dream kitchen? Feel free to set those ideas lose in this blank canvas…

…but, it’s not all yester-year in here. Updates have already started and include framed-out doors, windows, skylights, 200-amp electric service, and a new-ish hot water heater.

There are two bedrooms that need completion, as well as two full baths…

More in-depth structural work may be required, as is evidenced by this semi-dilapidated wood addition…

…but we can hardly balk at the location, which is just south of Saugerties village’s center. The 1.7-acre sun-dappled lot is located on a quiet residential street, with Kingston and Woodstock both just ten miles away.
