    **Investor Opportunity** - Make this Home next to the Salmon River & Canadian Border your next Cashflow Investment, renovation project, or flip. Or think big and turn these Sturdy Bones into workforce or cooperative housing, a home office, or an artist studio & workshop. Town Park on the Salmon River is only 100 yards away - kayak launch & fishing. Could easily convert from 3 Bed --> 4 Bed. Large attached garage, back deck, and large detached shed in need of repair. *Interior Photos Coming Soon.* Fort Covington sits along the Salmon River in New York's North Country, just minutes from the Canadian border. With Malone nearby and Montreal within reach, this property offers an interesting opportunity for someone willing to put in the work and see what it could become. Fort Covington is well situated, with a Convenient drive to: < 5m = Canadian Border < 30m = Malone (NY) < 1hr = Massena (NY), Cornwall (ON) < 1hr 30m = Potsdam (NY), Plattsburgh (NY) < 2hr = Montreal (QC), Lake Placid (NY), Burlington (VT), Whiteface (NY) < 3hr = Old Forge (NY) < 4hr = Syracuse (NY), Utica (NY), Albany (NY) The surrounding North Country offers access to the Salmon River, St. Lawrence River, Adirondacks, fishing, boating, hunting, snowmobiling, and miles of rural landscape. Montreal and the St. Lawrence Valley add another dimension to a location that still offers the space and affordability of a small North Country community. Or call it a Handyman Special - bring your tools, build some sweat equity, and renovate it over time. Whether the goal is a rental, resale, owner-occupied project, or something a little more ambitious, 997 Drum Street is an opportunity to buy into the potential rather than pay for someone else's finished product.
