Land with Home for Sale in Franklin, New York

The cottage core, Grandma vintage house is what you notice first. But look behind it - almost six open acres stretch up the hillside, with commanding views of the hills and valley all along the way. That land was, a couple of generations ago, a productive family farm. Just a mile from the Catskills' favorite historic arts village, this adorable 1880s farmhouse sits alongside a county highway. The house has been lovingly cared for by the present owner, with recent remodels including vinyl plank floor, laminate kitchen counter, new bathroom fixtures, and newer appliances and hot water heater. Enter across the front deck into the old front porch, which is now a sunroom. The front room is divided by a half wall and columns, leading to a fireplace. Off the front room is the master bedroom, a full bath (and a separate stall shower off the master), the kitchen, and a utility room to the back. Upstairs, two bedrooms with sloped ceilings and windows with views to the land. There is a full, dry basement with a stacked stone foundation, 150 amp wiring, and a reliable oil boiler. Outside, parking for multiple cars outside, and a solid two story barn that has been a garage and a workshop. An additional shed is in place for storage of lawn equipment. Included in the sale is a 26' Jayco RV with heat that serves as very comfortable guest accommodations but is not street legal.Whether you're looking for a homestead, a starter home that could end up being a forever home, or you are downsizing but don't want to live in a bland box, this home is worth a look. You might just fall in love.
