Nestled in between Greenville and East Durham, NY is the hamlet of Oak Hill. A little corner of the Catskills that had a strip of very charming old Victorian buildings making you wonder what it was like here in the late 1800's. An historic site sign up the road says Aaron Burr spent some time in a cottage here.
Over the last 20 years, one by one these homes and businesses have been restored bringing back an almost oasis-like village in the woods. With the Catskills standing proud as the backdrop, the community has come back to life.
7907 Route 81 is a classic Cape Cod home, presenting much bigger on the inside than its stated nearly 1800 square feet.
You will love the wooden beams that highlight the kitchen, dining and living room. They help create a warmth as cozy as the fireplace insert that has built in fans to circulate heat throughout the house. All 3 bedrooms are well sized and the quintessential Cape Cod dormer windows allow the natural light to penetrate and brighten.
Outside you will find a garage, sheds and a treehouse. There are a few fruit trees as well as wildflower and vegetable gardens.
The property is 5 minutes to East Durham and only 10 minutes to the village of Greenville for groceries, shops, lumberyard, bars and restaurants.
The Rip Van Winkle Bridge to Hudson, Catskill and Ski Windham are only 25 minutes away with the City of Albany a 40 minute commute.
Local swimming in the creek is right down the road.
The house could use a little TLC, but could be an amazing vacation home or full time residence. There is a tag sale in progress and some of the pics have been altered to remove some personal belongings.
