About this home
Gently set among the grand and historic estate properties on lovely South Franklin Street, this charming brick Cape is surprisingly expansive with a new rear-wing and a fully built-out lower level. The bright new kitchen sits below multiple skylights with views over the rear garden to the Hudson River and to the Athens lighthouse. Another new feature is the large bay window in the living room with equally impressive views. A wood burning fireplace anchors the living room and leads to the four-season sun room with a heated concrete floor. The graceful front staircase leads up to two bedrooms and a full bath with a skylight. Access to the lower level is from the kitchen and there you will find the laundry, a full bathroom and a large windowed bedroom. So many wonderful details in this unique house reflect the professional designer-owner with an eye for historic restoration. Originally a wealthy 19th century seaport, Athens remains an important village full of architectural gems on every street and though it is now a quiet by-way, we have a waterfront park, a lovely hotel and no fewer than four restaurants. Fifteen minutes to Hudson Amtrak and two-plus hours to NYC.
