...Storybook Cottage in Athens with Berkshire Views

Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage feels like something out of an English countryside daydream. Built in 1840, it's rich with character—wood-beam ceilings, exposed brick walls, and a wood-burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere that begs you to slow down and stay awhile.

The main floor features an open layout where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together, perfect for cooking, gathering, and relaxing. Upstairs, the entire second floor is an open loft-like space, ready to become a bedroom, art studio, or cozy hideaway. The bathroom combines charm and function with a classic footed tub and a slate-lined shower.

Outdoors, the magic continues. Wander through gardens, sip coffee on sunny patios, string up a hammock in the shade, or gather around the firepit under the stars. From the property, enjoy seasonal views of the Berkshires and the Hudson River that change with the light and seasons. A detached garage and separate studio space add even more flexibility for storage, projects, or creative pursuits.

Recent upgrades include: new mini-split systems, roof, chimney, well pump, and septic tank. The basement has been improved with a sump pump, drainage system, and full encapsulation. Additional updates feature new windows and doors, plus an electric dog fence.

Just minutes from the charming riverfront village of Athens and the town of Catskill, less than 15 mins to the Amtrak in Hudson, and 2 hours to NYC, this one-of-a-kind home offers the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion with easy access to town. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape or a full-time retreat, this cottage is pure storybook charm brought to life.
