8 Brick Row, Athens, NY 12015

A truly special property in Historic Brick Row, a community of 19th century Italianate townhouses, located one minute north of the historic river town of Athens. This charming sun-filled 3-bedroom home, with a large eat-in kitchen, retains much of its original character, including high ceilings, hardwood floors, partial Hudson River views, and a fenced private garden with a deck for outdoor entertaining. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, the thirty homes that comprise Brick Row were built in 1866 for the employees of the Saratoga and Hudson Railroad, whose terminal was located directly behind the houses, on the Hudson River. The short-lived railroad ceased its operations in 1876, but the houses on Brick Row survive to this day. The neighborhood continues today as an enclave of artists, writers, and creative professionals and is convenient to the shops and cultural outlets of Athens, neighboring Catskill and Hudson, with Amtrak access to the city. The house is move-in ready and has a new roof.
