Under $100K Sunday – c.1890 New York Queen Anne Victorian Fixer Upper For Sale $79K

OHU50K Notes   $79,000

 

It is a shame what this New York Queen Anne Victorian fixer upper has become. When we lived outside this town on an 15-acre farmette in the late 1980s, I would drive past this home often and admire it. My husband worked at one end of Grand Street, and I had a short stint as a waitress at the Bulls Head Inn at the other end. The property is located opposite the fairgrounds and offers a tower, seven bedrooms, three baths, hardwood floors, gorgeous fireplace, and carriage house, but sadly, the whole property appears nothing like it did in the eighties. The town is charming, though, and has all the amenities.

It is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, including rolling hills, lush farmland, and forests, making it an attractive destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. The area experiences all four seasons, with warm summers and cold winters.

Cobleskill has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it was first settled. The town’s name is derived from the Dutch word “Kobus” and the German word “Kill,” which means stream or creek. Cobleskill Creek flows through the town, adding to its natural beauty.

The video below drives past where my husband used to work (0.36) n Mineral Springs Road. I was hoping the driver would take a right at the next intersection. That would be Grand Street. Looks like he did turn there, but skipped the section where this house is located. he jumps to Grand Street on the other side of Main Street.
