Athens village is pretty dreamy, if, that is, you like charming waterfront towns with beautiful old architecture. Sitting directly across the river from the city of Hudson, Athens is a much quieter town than its Columbia County neighbor. It also lacks Amtrak service, unlike Hudson, and there’s not much in the way of bus service directly between Athens and NYC, making Athens a true hidden treasure along the Hudson River. Athens even has brewhouse and a lighthouse.

About half-mile from Athens’ waterfront is this c.1890 Victorian with a divine restoration. It’s a slip of a village home at 1100 square feet + .16 acres but includes 3 beds/1 bath, a brand new kitchen, plank floors, plaster walls, and a full basement. Could be nice for a small family or couple looking for a slower pace in the Hudson Valley. Ten minutes from Catskill, 2 hours from NYC.
