1825 Twin Townhouses

Two distinctive historic brick Federal 4-story houses, conjoined, with original details--slate roofs, old glass windows, newel posts, mantels, pocket doors--ready for your careful restoration. The buildings, said to be ship captains\' residences from the whaling era, are largely original in layout and structure, with few subsequent modifications. Architecturally, these are the most significant residences in Coxsackie\'s gorgeous riverside downtown, and perched on a rise overlooking the main street, the opera house, and the majestic Hudson River. Just 2 1/4 hours from Manhattan via the Taconic or NY State Thruway. 1/2 hour south of Albany. Come fall in love with this undiscovered area of the north Catskills and with these special buildings, and help preserve the historic fabric of this old Dutch settlement and steamboat stop. 3000 square feet of space usable as one extra-large live/work house, or set it up as its original two dwellings. $280,000 for both, by owner. This affordable property is a perfect candidate for the National Register of Historic Places and is contained within the existing historic district. Develop gardens in front and back.
