LIVE-ABOVE-THE-STORE-LIFESTYLE The restored Victorian storefront commercial space with 2-floor dwelling above is located smack dab in the middle of the Andes hamlet, 55 miles west of Kingston on State Route 28, our Main Street. The popular operating store, a space of 26 feet by 42 feet, known as "Paisleys," has been a draw for shoppers for over 30 years. The commercial glass-storefront, high-ceilinged space has the original labeled drawers, woodwork, and shelving from its apothecary origins in 1873. Cast iron steps from the old Andes foundry extend the width of the covered front porch entry. A lavatory for customers also contains stacked washer and dryer. The 2nd floor includes 2 covered porches, an eat-in kitchen and full bath with beautiful new tiled shower and a light and airy flowing space that, with its pocket doors and archways, may be treated as 4 separate rooms. Original wood floors throughout as well as on the 3rd floor of 3 rooms and long hallway. Heat is provided by 2 oil hot air furnaces as well as 2 wood stoves. Water and sewer systems are municipal. Dirt-floored full basement is dry. The electrified, partially insulated 2-story carriage barn with 864 square feet of floor space overlooking a babbling brook at rear of property was used as a warehouse, and would easily convert to art studio/workshop space, or back to a garage. Municipal water and sewer connections lead right up to the building. Great personal and commercial location. There is a coffee shop next door. The Andes Hotel across the way is open 7 days and offers a tavern, restaurant and weekly entertainment as well as trivia and open mic nights. General Store which currently offers great sandwiches, a lunch menu and occasional pizza is also hosting evening barbecues with music, and is steps away. Wayside Cider, Dragonfly55, an epicurean coffee bar, Wild Common Wine, and one-of-a-kind shops and galleries, make this unspoiled 19th century village a mini destination for metropolitan, as well as local folks. A Streetscape Project in 2009 provided the Main Street with vintage lighting, benches, new sidewalks and plantings. To add to the package, Andes boasts a wonderful, welcoming library, a historic society with museum, a K-12 school, public pool and tennis courts, a yoga studio, 3 churches, a naturalized stream-side park. The bus to Port Authority, NYC stops right in front of the door! A rail trail is at the edge of the hamlet, with many hiking trails nearby. The Pepacton Reservoir in the Town of Andes offers fishing, kayaking and canoeing. New Offering Price: $295,000 please contact Judy at: garrison@catskill.net call or text: 212.729.7985
