The c.1875 Ruby Schoolhouse in Saugerties: $285K

  |  October 17, 2024

Some homeowners like to move into an already planned-out home with definite room assignments. Others prefer to pack only their imagination.

Today’s Upstater pick fits the latter’s bill. The c.1875 Ruby Schoolhouse has solid exterior bones that retain the original charm. Beyond that, there’s quite a bit of work to be done.

A pair of French doors carved into one long side of the building is a new addition; otherwise, however, the exterior hews closely to the O.G. schoolhouse design.

We hope the new owner honors and keeps the peaked lintels, rectangular transoms, and nine-over-nine windows.

Inside, the hardwood floor is about all that remains of the interior glory. The rest of it has become a woodshop.

It demands elbow grease. But with the right owner, this space could be a beauty.

It sits on a corner lot that measures more than an acre and a half.

Its charm can’t be denied. Yet it’s under a 15-minute drive to Kingston’s Stockade District or to catch a show at the Ulster Performing Arts Center.
