That price has to be bogus. The previous owner invested thousands into that home. Probably 4 times that price. When he finished it, less than 10years ago, it was absolutely stunning, inside and out. It does pre-date 1750, as there are the remains of a dutch jambless fireplace in the cellar. For 76,000 I would consider buying it myself. Gut restoration? Whoever said that is ignorant of the historic significance of the building. It has some problems, but nothing that couldn’t be overcome. Unfortunately, to most locals Napanoch is just a bunch of dumpy old houses. The little hamlet will never achieve it’s potential until folks realize the archtectural diamonds in the rough that still exist there. If you want to own a real piece of rare 18th Century architecture I urge you to go look at it. We need folks from outside the area desperately. I doubt that price is valid though. I have been in the house many times. Reconstructing the porch probably cost at least half that. Not to mention hand chiseling the 20th Century stucco off the stone exterior. it is close to the Roundout Creek however, it has stood there for what? 300 years? Go take a look, I have no financial interest in the property, I just see Napanoch’s unrealized potential.

There were multiple offers as of Wednesday and best bids were due today at 3. It will be interesting to hear how high the bidding goes.

Does anyone know if there are any updates? I have tried calling the realtor’s office but no answer. I hope the new owners don’t gut it and make it modern. It would be a shame to lose some of the original details.
