Inside, original architectural details abound, from soaring tin ceilings (14 feet on the second floor and 12 feet on the first and approx. 8 feet in the basement) to expansive steel casement windows that bathe the interior in natural light and frame serene views of the surrounding hills.The move-in ready layout features two bedrooms, three bathrooms (one full and two half baths), and a streamlined kitchen that caters to modern living without sacrificing historic character. Zoned for mixed use residential, commercial, and live/work the property sits perfectly between popular local businesses such as Roe Jan Brewing Co, The Hillsdale General Store, Tiny Hearts Flower Shop, and Cook & Larder, offering a delightful walkable lifestyle and instant community for business owners.Ideally located this landmark connects the Catskills to the Berkshires and provides easy access to Rensselaer and Dutchess County, with Hudson, Great Barrington, and Millerton all just a 20-minute drive away. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, this exceptional property is a true architectural paragon, a rare upstate gem where the precision and artistry of its original Masonic builders continue to inspire. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity!
