Welcome to 617 Empire Rd, a character-rich 1900 Colonial nestled in the scenic hamlet of Copake, NY, one of Columbia County's most beloved rural escapes. Set on a 0.30-acre lot with beautiful mountain views, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare blend of historic character and everyday comfort.
Inside, you'll find 1,744 square feet of living space featuring warm hardwood floors and a full suite of appliances including dishwasher, washer/dryer, and more. The home is heated via baseboard and oil, with a wood/pellet option adding cozy ambiance during cooler Hudson Valley seasons.
