BRICK ITALIANATE… High on a Catskill Village hill with a wonderful view of the Catskill Mountains, this solid brick house is remarkably sophisticated with classic Italianate brackets, decorative cast iron lintels, and round attic windows (oculi). The front porch, with a lovely mountain view, has hexagonal porch columns and delicate porch railings. The double front doors open to the hall and a wide living room entryway with unexpected lattice decoration matching an elaborate mirrored living room mantel with decorative tiles and metal insert. Both the lattice opening and mantel do not appear to be original to when the house was first built (c. 1860) but appear to be extravagant additions to the interior about 1890 (called "aesthetic" decoration in the book "The Abrams Guide to Period Styles for Interiors"). A lovely bay window fills the dining room with light. High ceilings, cast-iron radiators, and wood floors are throughout the home. The kitchen, ready for upgrades, has space for cooking and eating and opens to the outside: a private outdoor area overlooking a wooded ravine. A traditional Italianate staircase leads upstairs to three bedrooms and a full bath with claw foot tub. Two of the bedrooms and the bathroom have Catskill Mountain views. A walk up attic provides plenty of storage space. A refined house, on almost 3/4 of an acre, it is now ready for the next step of renovation. Walk to Main Street's new shops and restaurants in Catskill, 10 minutes to Hudson and Amtrak, close to Catskill Mountain skiing and only two-hour drive from the City… $138,000
