$69,000 in the Catskills: Could You Rescue This 1940 Fixer-Upper?
If you have ever dreamed of restoring a quiet country house in the Catskills, this $69,000 project may capture your imagination.
Built in 1940, the two-story home sits among mature trees on 0.65 acre, with a covered porch, stone foundation, wood-frame construction, and natural water features on the property.
Inside are 1,328 square feet with a traditional living room, separate family room, eat-in kitchen, and wood flooring in parts of the house.
All three bedrooms and a full bathroom are upstairs, while a half bathroom is located on the main floor.
The house also has a fireplace and a full basement with exterior bulkhead doors, but the listing is refreshingly direct: this home “needs everything.”
Heating, cooling, water, and sewer details require verification, and the property is being sold as-is with cash or rehabilitation financing required.
Its wooded Catskills location places it near Belleayre Mountain, Plattekill Mountain, hiking, fishing, and the everyday conveniences of Margaretville.
The question is not whether this old house needs work—it is whether someone can see the cozy mountain retreat hiding beneath the years.
