c.1791 New York Fixer Upper on 3.17 Acres

OHU50K Notes $159,900 Update: Pending

You might pass by this New York fixer upper and never even know it is there. Set behind trees on a street winding through forest is this c.1791 home with metal roof, four bedrooms, one bath. The 1,527 sf cottage has built-ins, wide plank floors, brick fireplace, and exposed rafters. The home is said to have been built in 1791 by Daniel Beach, but that seems unlikely since he was only born in 1793. If indeed, he did build the home, it must have been at a later date. He would then be living in this home with his wife Elizabeth Ross Beach and son John Clancy Beach. Daniel served in the War of 1812 for which he received a $55 pension. He died in 1890 and is buried in the Jeremiah Cemetery in town.

Realtor Comments

For years you drove by this house and admired it! Surrounded by locust trees on 3 acres, it has been in the same family for 66 years. Said to have been built by Daniel Beach in 1791, it retains its charm and some original features. Wide board floors, some original doors, moldings, and windows, and 3 sets of stairs to the 2nd floor. The large family room addition could make a wonderful primary bedroom. If you love old houses, know how to restore them, and want to live in the country, this solid late 18C house is ready for its next chapter. It needs just about everything so is priced accordingly. Cash offers only, sold ”as is” and all contents stay. It is in the town of Charlton, Saratoga County, the mailing address is Scotia and it is Scotia Glenville schools.
