Built in 1888, this Book Village grand Victorian is ready for its next chapter! Formally run as a bed and breakfast, this home is uniquely configured with five bedrooms and five bathrooms to host guests or to be a spacious full or part-time home. With solid bones and many of its original wood details still intact - the building is move-in ready but would shine even brighter with some updating.

The foyer welcomes guests with decorative wood floors and an impressive staircase. Tall ceilings, full height windows, and pocket doors create an inviting first floor. Sit down with a book from the library's built-in bookshelves. Flow through the multiple parlors with refinished floors and original trim. The formal dining room has originally pass-through cabinetry that connects to the neighboring kitchen. This floor also has a laundry room and a back bedroom with adjoining full bathroom.

On the second floor, there are four bedrooms. Two bedrooms have ensuite full bathrooms. One bedroom has an adjoining full bathroom. The final bedroom is smaller with a large bathroom in the hall. This area could also be a small innkeeper suite or housekeeping closet. The large, full-height and unfinished attic space has potential to be transformed into even more living space.

Outside the quintessential wraparound porch calls for morning coffee or breezy evening nightcaps. In addition there are two decks (one newly constructed), a generous size yard for a village home and a large garage great for a workshop or storage space.

The Hobart Book Village has become a destination of its own in the Catskills. Visit the many bookstores in town, have dinner at the Book Village inn, or take a walk or bike ride on the Catskills Scenic Rail Trail. Nearby are the towns of Stamford, Roxbury, and Delhi with even more shops and restaurants. Much of the hard work has been done here already (including a new roof last year), so bring your vision to finalize the restoration of this Victorian beauty. They just don't make them like this anymore!
