253 Main St, Catskill, NY 12414, USA

This prestigious townhouse in the heart of Catskill combines historical significance with modern luxury. The property fronts Main Street and runs the length of a block toward the village marina on Catskill Creek with a secluded garden and large pool. Built by Lyman Hall in 1811 on land purchased from Sybil Ludington Ogden, a heroine of the American Revolution, the house itself is a pristine example of Federal architecture and includes a Palladian window, seven fireplaces and a beautifully modernized kitchen. The basement (with its own access) is zoned for residential or commercial use and has its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and two reception rooms. Behind the main property is a pretty carriage house which would make an ideal staff cottage or family annex. Catskill is home to the Thomas Cole House and an increasing number of exciting projects which include the Catskill Mill and the ADI American Dance Institute.
