Constructed in 1907 with many salvaged building materials from the dismantled neighboring Church. Neoclassical porch columns, fan windows and hand hewn timbers, repurposed from years of use, make this a one of a kind village home. The interior reflects the Craftsman design aesthetic from the period: quarter sawn oak wainscoting, box beam ceiling, arts and crafts staircase and lighting. The living room fireplace combines stone with rustic wood framing. In an earlier time, this was the village doctor's house with a porte-cochere entry for his patients. Those two exam rooms now serve as a modern family room and home office, w/ original built-ins. Three bedroom, two bathrooms & old style carriage house with yard. Located in quant Athens, two streets from the Hudson River - along side other prominent historic homes. 15 minutes from Hudson/Amtrak. 2 hours from NYC.
