Diamond in the Rough.

This multi-family rental income property on Birch Creek has great potential.

Situated on a quiet country road maintained by the Town of Shandaken, this private rural enclave is just 5 minutes from the Belleayre Ski Area, 1 mile from the Belleayre Recreation Lake, and just a short walk from the Village of Pine Hill.

The charming 1,500 sqft 3br one floor main house and separate spacious 1,500 sqft 2-story converted rental studio apartment and garage offers income potential. The houses overlook the clear-flowing Birch Creek with its crystal pools. The main house has solid bones and plenty of natural light, a cozy fireplace, and an open kitchen area.

Complete the renovations to your design and make it into your dream home. The structure is sound, the subfloor is replaced, and both buildings are cleaned and freshly painted. Renovations needed in the main house include a full kitchen including sub-cabinets, countertops, and appliances. The bathroom will need a new vanity, and the kitchen and bedrooms will need the flooring of your choice.

Renovations were initiated in the partially converted 2 bedroom Garage/ Apartment studio These include partially finished plumbing for a kitchen and bathroom, new sheetrock and electrical wiring throughout, and a new metal roof. It features an expansive deck overlooking the creek and a one car garage. This structure is in the hundred year flood plane and would be made more secure by elevating it during renovations.

The large backyard features natural vegetation on all sides, including blackberry and raspberry bushes, providing privacy from the neighbors. This property is 1.8 acres and includes wooded vacant land across the creek and the potential for a third structure.
