1920 HISTORIC LODGE ON DRY BROOK STREAM: Featuring a location only 5 minutes from Margaretville village, this 5 BR 1.5 BA colonial was once an annex to the Winnisook Lodge (Hotel), which was built by Charles Glantz in the early 1900s and and later destroyed by fire in 1941. Today there are still 4 other homes on this otherwise private, dead-end cul-de-sac which were also originally auxiliary buildings to the main lodge and have either been repurposed into vacation homes or are in the process of being updated at this time. However, this home occupies the premier location on the once-hotel property, with a large flat, open field (a second separate parcel) adjoining the main parcel today. Both parcels (10.96 acs) are included in the purchase price. While there has been maintenance on the property over the years, (new architectural shingle roof 10+- years ago, an oil, forced hot air furnace, well with new pressure tank and updated electric service, etc) the home could use an update on interior and exterior finishes. The rare and extensive frontage on the Dry Brook stream, situated 100 ft below the house site (which is well above the flood plain), but easily accessed by a gently graded ATV path, would make such a project fully worthwhile. The first floor consists of a large kitchen, with ample wood cabinets, with a casual, attached dining nook, a formal dining room, generous living room with brick fp, two bedrooms, a full bath and a laundry room which contains the electric water heater. The upstairs offers three more bedrooms and an additional half bath. There is also an attached 1-car garage and a tool shed in the back. However, the true added value to this home are the special qualities of the land, whichalong the stream are magical--descending the path to the flats you thread through a mature white pine grove with towering trees, passing a convenient deer stand, and finally into a stand of younger deciduous woods. It is all an open forest, with wide-spaced trees, and ferns, club moss and princess pine covering the forest floor. As the large wooded plain is flat, access along the bank of the stream is easy, and the soothing murmur of the brisk flowing water is a true joy! So take note! Nature lovers, those who covet historic homes, this is a rare opportunity for the right buyers, who would be willing to take on somewhat of a project, but will end up with not only a unique property but one which is so conveniently located to Margaretville and all the recreational assets that this area offers.
