Upstater is the hub for upstate New York real estate and culture, north of the 'burbs, south of the Adirondacks, east of the Finger Lakes and west of the Connecticut border.
We found 10 properties under $100,000 in Kerhonkson, and at least three of them seemed inhabitable. A couple of them could probably transform into something closer to adorable with a little love.
Our favorite was 26 Blevins Road in Kerhonkson, a shingle-sided cabin with a deck, two beds and one bath. It’s 576 square feet, built in 1960, and has almost three acres of its own.
We had to chuckle at this section of the write-up: “Home is built on piers with an unknown type of septic system.” Okay. This is definitely a rustic getaway. It’s been on the market for almost a year, so we’re betting you can bargain it down further from its $54,900 price tag.
Our other bet is 24 Pearl Street in Kerhonkson, a four-bed, one-bath farmhouse with over 2,000 square feet. This one is in town and has no land to speak of, but it’s $59,000.
The house was built in 1860 and clearly has some beauty lurking beneath the layers of grime. Another boon: it’s within walking distance of the bus stop, meaning if you buy it and fix it up, it’ll be a contender for our car-free country house column!
