Save Me: Santway Mansion, 1890 Brick and Stone Victorian in Theresa, New York
There is so much potential here. It would be amazing if the next buyer could rebuild the original porch. There is a video tour of this house where the agent walks the entire house and explains the upgrades done by the current owner, who is a home inspector so you know the job was done right.
LISTING DETAILS
Welcome to the Santway Mansion. Built in 1890 with granite from the same quarry as Boldt Castle, this brick and granite home is waiting for the lover of historic homes. Current owners have done the majority of the hard work in renovating this home, 200 amp electrical service and wiring throughout, furnace and duct work, plumbing, and on demand water heater. Much of the first floor has new lathe and plaster walls. The original woodwork remains including window shutters. The first floor has a foyer with a gorgeous staircase, a nook which is part of the turret of the home, original functioning pocket doors for the parlor and dining room, dining room with original stain glass window, serving room with pass through cabinetry, and a huge kitchen! Kitchen cabinets are new and seller is leaving materials for the finishing touches. A bedroom and attached bath complete the first level floor plan. Second floor landing has a turret nook, 3 bedrooms, unfinished bath with claw foot tub. This level has not had much renovation done, one could easily live on the first level while completing the work. Walk up attic is large and unfinished. Carriage house in the back yard.

The Mountain House, 1899 Victorain Catskill Cottage in Mt. Tremper, New York
If anyone would like to purchase this house for me, you can message me on Facebook to let me know when I can move in. I'm in LOVE! How about you?
LISTING DETAILS
The Mountain House is like no property this veteran agent has ever seen. Sited on 26 uber-private acres and surrounded by state land, the home itself is accessed by a quarter-mile driveway through the woods and enjoys sweeping mountain views to the northeast and 800 feet of frontage and a waterfall on the Cold Spring Brook, a tributary of the Esopus Creek. The proportions of the house are grand, with 120 feet of columned porches, 12-foot ceilings and spacious rooms, yet there's no pretense here; this is a humble mountain retreat that offers plenty of relaxed space for family and friends. Many of the first floor walls and ceilings are clad in pressed tin, various ceilings are coffered or adorned with intricate plaster moldings, and original woodwork and floors are in chestnut and Douglas fir. There are multiple places to both gather and seek solitude - morning room, living room, billiard room, casual and formal dining rooms, the rooftop widow's watch, as well as plenty of spots on the rambling property that beckon. Bedrooms are all spacious, and the walk-up attic offers an opportunity to create yet another place to tuck away. The rear, brick portion of the home perhaps predates the construction of the clapboard-clad structure. Extensive renovations were undertaken by the current owners and include new systems, siding and insulation, and it was important to them to retain the aesthetic of the old while installing the new. A separate studio/guest cottage sits across the lawn, and is ripe for an interior renovation. An easy trail from The Mountain House leads to the rear boundary of the property, where the deck over the brook offers the most romantic and serene spot to get even farther away from the world. That said, the Emerson Resort and Spa and Foxfire Mountain House offer dining and recreation within walking distance, and the town of Phoenicia, Bellayre Ski Center and loads of other attractions are nearby.
