11 Old Turnpike Road

Bring your vision to life in this is historic landmark registered property straddling two hamlet streets in the historic district of Pine Hill. With two legal addresses, this 1890 Victorian charmer is looking for someone willing to restore and enhance its unique characteristics and features. This is a rare chance to restore a piece of Catskills history. While the home is being offered 'as is', it is fully habitable with all systems and functions operating satisfactorily. Upgrades and improvements were made to the home in 2005 - 2006, including remodeling of the ground level spaces for better flow. There are double hung, double glazed windows installed in about 2005; The kitchen/breakfast room was totally refurbished and expanded, including custom cabinetry and all new kitchen appliances. There are two propane fireplaces, one in the living room and the other in the formal living/dining room. The laundry appliances are new, with the clothes dryer being gas powered. The propane gas fireplace with brick mantel and surround in the family room replaced the old wood burning fireplace. The old chimney flue is still there, and the pine floors are believed to be red pine. The mudroom/laundry room/ bathroom combo down the hall from the large kitchen diner has an exterior access door to the large inviting deck, also accessible from the wrap around screened in porch. Once a well-known boarding house, and for many decades a nurturing single-family residence, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom hamlet home is anchored in a convenient location and walkable to amenities such as Belleayre Lake Beach, restaurants, the Shandaken Historic Museum, the Morton Library, and a short drive to Belleayre Ski Center, as well as a network of state hiking trails such as Giant Ledge, Slide Mountain, Balsam Mountain and Panther Mountain. As one enters the house from the old formal entry, to the left is the comfortable sized ground level guest bedroom, which could also be suitable as a home office. On the second floor are five bedrooms including the large primary bedroom with a generous sized en-suite bathroom. On the third-floor attic level, which is still in its original untouched vintage state, is the old 'holiday suite' which consists of two significant sized, rooms, one with a sky light. The flooring on this level is believed to be the original planks. With solid plans and permits, this third-floor space could be transformed into a stunning accessory dwelling unit or added guest space. This village house is situated along a dead end, town maintained, historic road with a small collection of second homes. This fascinating Victorian former boarding house offers enormous potential and certainly triggers the imagination of any discerning enthusiast.
