9 Market St, Athens, NY 12015

You'll feel the history upon entering this circa 1820 home, a classic example of early Athens Village architecture. The 4 BR house is on the market for the first time in 50 years and fortuitously retains much of its original character: beamed living room ceiling & wood burning fireplace, wide-plank flooring, tin ceiling laundry room and claw foot bathtub overlooking the garden. Modern day additions include two new bathrooms, energy efficient windows, and a propane stove in the family room. There are A/C splits in the bedroom and family room. This double lot is very private owing to the natural beauty of the high rock outcroppings. Green lawns, fern gardens and flowering specimen trees like the crab apple hug the property. Enjoy the summer on your back porch and stone dining patio. A gorgeous slice of forever-wild countryside found right here in the village. You can walk to everything in town and take a peek at the Hudson River from the covered front porch and side windows.
