History meets modern comfort in this rare Catskills find. Built in 1931 as St. Margaret's Chapel, this thoughtfully updated loft-like residence blends small-scale charm with flexible, open-plan living. Soaring ceilings, tall English rolled-glass windows, and the dramatic double-door entry set the stage for a truly one-of-a-kind home or getaway.
Inside, the main level flows from a sunlit open living/dining area to a versatile stage-like alcove ideal for a kitchen expansion, creative workspace, or art studio. Recent upgrades include a full bath, kitchenette, mini-split heating/cooling, and a private back patio for outdoor dining.
A set of steps (or a future interior staircase) leads to the lower level, where the next owner could envision bedrooms, a media lounge, or workshop space - perfect for those who love a (manageable) project. The building's intimate scale and adaptable footprint will appeal to fans of historic architecture, small-house living, or anyone seeking something truly unique.
Outside enjoy a manicured lawn with established landscaping, a new patio area, a fire-pit and the most inviting hammock! Two off-street parking spaces and a flat level yard perfect for entertaining.
Located on a quiet village street, you're minutes to Margaretville's shops, cafes, and year-round Catskills recreation. Public water/sewer for low-maintenance living.
If you've been searching for a property that inspires conversation the moment you open the door - this is it. Your (incredibly unique) Catskill Dream Awaits!
