123 Church Street, Margaretville, NY

About 123 Church Street

Standing majestically away from the street in the quaint village of Margaretville, is this Victorian farmhouse style single family home with a significant amount of period detailing still intact, with commercial/public sewer and water and sitting on one of the largest lots in the village. Affectionately named Bullock Manor by the current owners, the home is being transformed from a former state social services institution to its prior purpose as a family residence. There are five bedrooms and three full bathrooms in the 3,310 sq. ft living space. There is a ground level bedroom and adjacent bathroom to the left of the dining room and kitchen island area. The kitchen leading out to French doors toward the back of the space is a work in progress as the owners sought to repurpose smaller rooms. There is full pantry room with working sink adjacent to the kitchen along with an additional bonus room that could be converted to a laundry room. On the ground level also is a large family room with sliders out to the back deck which looks out to a large fenced in section of the back yard. This room is currently being used as sixth bedroom by the family. Up the sweeping staircase from the entry foyer or the back service stairs from the kitchen, the second floor consists of four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The steep multi-faceted gabled roof attic comprises the third level, mostly full height half floor with a further attic crawl space above. On this 3rd level, accessible via pull-down stairs, is approximately 1,200 sq. ft of additional partially finished living space, including a kitchen as well as a partially finished 3rd floor full bath. Most of the 3rd level plumbing and fixtures are in place. This level has the potential for conversion to an accessory apartment with town planning approval. Pick up where the current owners are leaving off with their pains taking partial renovation and conversion. Looking beyond the obvious, are indications of a sophisticated yet casual style indicative of a bye gone era. Holidays and weekends at this central and convenient family compound are incredibly special. It is a great location from which to enjoy the July 4th. fireworks that can been seen from the home. Stroll down to the nearby community water hole for a soothing summer dip or head out to Belleayre Lake Beach for a day of fun. There are loads of choices nearby for winter activities, hiking, fishing, farmers markets, restaurants, and fine art venues.
