Brownstoner Upstate: South to North
Even our most expensive property today is below our self-imposed affordability ceiling of $250,000 (subject to change, of course, based entirely upon whim). But just because it’s affordable doesn’t mean it doesn’t bring the charm. Seriously, look at those floors. And the French doors. And the kitchen. Beautiful. Situated on a full acre in southern…
Even our most expensive property today is below our self-imposed affordability ceiling of $250,000 (subject to change, of course, based entirely upon whim). But just because it’s affordable doesn’t mean it doesn’t bring the charm. Seriously, look at those floors. And the French doors. And the kitchen. Beautiful. Situated on a full acre in southern Ulster County on the Orange County border. Beds: 3. Baths: 2. Square Feet: 1748. Lot Size: 1.1 acres. Est. Taxes: $7110. Distance from Brooklyn: 2 hours.

And here’s our cheapest property of the week. This Vic in the Sullivan County town of Bethel is being sold as-is, cash only. But we love the potential that exists in this old house. Plenty of space (over 2,000 square feet), wood floors, and an enclosed porch (we would turn this back into an open porch, most likely). Best of all, it’s on five acres of land. Beds: 4. Baths: 2.5. Square Feet: 2167. Lot Size: 5 acres. Est. Taxes: $6542. Distance from Brooklyn: 2 hours.

Is New Baltimore haunted? Probably not, but take a look at the Gmap Streetview of this classy Italianate. Maybe this 19th century home conceals a dark secret. Again, probably not, but it’s deliciously creepy to think about it. Sitting on a half-acre in the Greene County town of New Baltimore on the Hudson River, this place is one of those upstate properties you dream about owning. Beds: 4. Baths: 2. Square Feet: 3100. Lot Size: .55 acres. Est. Taxes: $6543. Distance from Brooklyn: 2.5 hours.

Yes, this is a pretty no-frills country house. But where some of us see no frills, others are thinking “blank canvas.” Kinderhook is a cute little town in Columbia County, and the house is close to the center. Not much land here. Just a residential postage stamp smaller than a quarter acre. Still, it’s fenced in, and you could plop down a garden here. Good first home option. Beds: 3. Baths: 1. Square Feet: 1000. Lot Size: .14 acres. Est. Taxes: $2087. Distance from Brooklyn: 2.5 hours.
