4916 Route 81

A rare historic landmark just two blocks from the town square. This 19th-century Victorian is set on an oversized 1.7-acre village parcel. An exceptional blend of presence, curated spaces, and walkability. Thoughtfully preserved and lovingly restored, the home retains its architectural integrity while benefiting from key modern upgrades, including newer mechanicals, energy-efficient heating, upgraded windows, and spray-foam insulation. The flexible layout easily accommodates elegant single-family living with dual staircases on the north and south sides of the home. Add creative pursuits, or a refined live-work lifestyle, further enhanced by favorable commercial zoning, featuring a separate room with its own entrance offering ideal space for a professional office or studio. Inside, original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, decorative trim, and abundant natural light create warmth and scale throughout. The formal living room features a propane fireplace, while multiple gathering spaces flow comfortably for entertaining. Outdoors, the grounds provide a peaceful village retreat with room to garden, gather, and enjoy your private above-ground pool, fire pit, pergola, or unwinding on your wrap-around porch. Walkable to the Tasting Lab Brewery/Restaurant, where you'll find one of the best burgers you've ever had, and live relaxing music on Sundays. Just minutes from Story's Nursery in Freehold, ideal for enhancing the property's already lush landscaping. 25 Min. to Albany, to Village of Catskill, and to Ski Windham. Virtual tour available upon request.
