Step back in time with this extraordinary 1884 Brick School House located in the heart of the New Baltimore Hamlet Historic District. Rich in history and character, this iconic landmark served as Public School District No. 10 until 1964 before beginning its remarkable transformation through generations of creative ownership. Purchased in 1969 by a renowned local artist and sculptor, the building became an inspiring art studio and exhibition space for decades. In 2012, a NYC woodworker brought new life to the property, converting the first floor into a woodworking studio with the original 30 x 30 workshop and across the hall another 30 x 30 room divided in half for storage and an additional workspace. There are also multiple closets for more first floor storage. The second floor boasts great potential for open concept livable space with the updated heat, electric and hot water system, blending historic charm with modern functionality. Come see what has already been done. Original architectural details remain throughout, showcasing the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era. From the timeless brick exterior to the bronze school bell still hanging proudly in the copper cupola, this one-of-a-kind property is truly a piece of living history. Registered with the Greene County Historic Society, the building offers endless possibilities as a live/work space, gallery, studio, boutique business, or distinctive residence. Unlimited possibilities exist for repurposing this unique property with residential, commercial, and mixed-use zoning. Stroll to the Hudson River, nature preserve, park, marina, and waterfront restaurants while enjoying the charm and tranquility of hamlet living. Conveniently located just 2.5 hours from NYC, 20 minutes to Albany, and 15 minutes to Coxsackie and the NYS Thruway. A true gem awaits its next chapter and turning your dreams into reality.
