Rare opportunity to own two distinct homes on a single lot, both overlooking the Esopus Creek. Whether you're seeking an investment property, a multi-generational living setup, or a private retreat, this dual home offering provides endless potential! The stone home, formally known as the Lanigan House, was built as a fort and originally constructed around 1700. This historic beauty sits on the banks of the Esopus Creek and retains much of its original character. The home has been nicely updated with all new major operating systems (roof, 200 amp service, hot water heater, and boiler installed in 2023/2024) and offers a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a home with charm, hand-hewn beamed ceilings, and a desire to restore it to its original splendor. The stone exterior provides timeless appeal and exceptional durability, making it a standout property. With no furnishings inside, this home is a blank canvas waiting for someone to bring it to life. The interior features a new kitchen, a living room, and a family room, both with fireplaces for added warmth and ambiance. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms with a full bath and ample closet space. Whether you're looking to renovate or simply add your personal touch, the open layout presents endless possibilities. Overall updates include a new roof, hot water heater, boiler, new cabinets, countertops, some flooring, 200-amp electrical service, and repointing of both chimneys. The second residence, the White Cape, was completely gutted with a full second-floor expansion, framed, rewired, insulated, and renovated in 2016, offering comfort and practicality from day one. Boasting three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the layout is perfect for those seeking extra space. The main floor provides a cozy living room, a half bath, a dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen with a large pantry great for anyone who loves to cook, featuring new cabinets, stone counters, and generous counter space. A washer/dryer off the kitchen adds first-floor convenience. Upstairs, you'll find three bright and spacious bedrooms and a beautifully renovated full bath with tile and stone accents. The primary bedroom boasts a wall of closets and great storage, along with another custom full bath. This room overlooks the creek and waterfall open the windows and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the creek cascading over the dam.
