57 Scott St Margaretville, NY 12455

THIS 1860S VICTORIAN WITH MANY ORIGINAL DETAILS INTACT is nestled on a quiet back street in the village of Margaretville. It features high ceilings, generous rooms, and is livable as is, but cosmetic updates will make this home a complete knockout. It includes a classic side hall Victorian floor plan with turret over the porch, front parlor, formal dining room (currently being used as a bedroom), large eat-in kitchen, full bathroom, laundry/utility room with an extra sink and toilet, plus an extra room at the back of the house that can be used as an office/studio or family den. Upstairs, there are three large bedrooms (one with a sleeping porch), plus a large bonus room (currently being used for storage) that has been completely plumbed for a shower, sink and toilet. There's room for additional storage in the walk-up attic. The dry basement has bluestone flooring, stone walls, lots of shelving, and includes the hot water heater, and the heating system (3 zone oil-hot water baseboard). This south-facing property boasts a front lawn surrounded by a picket fence, and a flat backyard that trails off into a private, wooded hillside. The one car detached garage has a private driveway with room for at least two vehicles. The seller has maintained the home over the years with new windows and doors (2005), updated heating system, oil tank and hot water heater (2008), new roof (2010) and has been insulated with cellulose through the NYSERDA program (2018). Unique period homes like this are an exciting find in Margaretville, and an "old house lover" will find lots to love here. There's work to be done, and it's priced accordingly.
