Cheapish Circa 1799 Waterfront New York Fixer Upper Federal Style Home For Sale $175K

OHU50K Notes $175,000

The waterfront New York fixer upper is the The former Rookery Tavern, the oldest building in town. Built in 1799, the Federal style home is sited on 0.57 acre with frontage on the West Branch of the Delaware River. Wide plank hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, exposed beams, chair rails, wainscoting, built-ins and wide baseboards adorn the home. The home was sold in October 2022 for $75K, and was re-listed two days later for $100K more at $175K. There should be wiggle room in the current price, especially as the town is known to flood, but the price doesn’t seem to be budging despite the length of time on the market.

 

Realtor Comments

The oldest building in Deposit, NY, built in 1799. “The Rookery Tavern” and most recently “Axtell Antiques”, is a Federal style, commercially zoned and riverfront, having about 50′ frontage on the West Branch Delaware River. It also has 433′ frontage on 3 different streets and over 1/2 acre of land. The building has several fireplaces and a collection of many beautiful antique features such as doors, hardware, tavern bar, windows, floors, hitching post and more. It needs work (its 223 years old) but might make an ideal Air BnB or fishing related business location or even a private riverfront home. Completed just eleven years after the ratification of the United States Constitution, this is your opportunity to own a true piece of authentic Colonial America!
