Workman’s Cottage

Restoration work just completed creating an impressive balance between historic detailing and modern efficiency. This early workman’s house in Athens reflects Quaker simplicity and has been expertly redesigned and enlarged. A new open floor plan design (with two working fireplaces) allows for a comfortable flow of rooms. The vaulted ceiling and living space is flooded with sunlight through the 9-over-6 double hung windows. Reclaimed building materials were sourced for authenticity and for green conservation. Almost every architectural element added comes from a salvaged history or was custom-milled on site including: claw foot tub and fixtures, shutters, panel doors, porch columns and two mahogany porches. Located in a village setting, among other charming homes, just a few streets away from the Hudson River park and restaurants. Two hours from NYC and 15 minutes to Hudson and Amtrak. Athens is rated one of the Hudson Valley’s Top 7 Towns. EXCLUSIVE
