Welcome to Hawthorne Cottage, a circa 1900 updated residence on Main Street in the heart of Philmont's historic district, set on a sloping lot with a stone wall and partial woodland in one of Columbia County's most authentic small villages. The home has been fully renovated. Open shelving and curated details create inviting living spaces full of warmth and character. The kitchen includes butcher block counters, a herringbone tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and striking navy cabinetry accented by brushed brass hardware. New laminate floors run through every room and bathrooms have been updated. The cozy layout spans 1,392 square feet, with a half bath on the first floor and three bedrooms and a full bath above. The unfinished walk-out basement adds approximately 360 square feet of flexible additional space, and is ready to be finished to your own specifications. Ideal as a home office, guest quarters, home gym, or creative studio. A brand new heating system completes a renovation that leaves little to do but move in. Philmont is a small Columbia County village with a growing creative community and a genuine historic fabric. Hawthorne Valley School and its beloved farm store are nearby, as is the High Falls Conservation Area, where trails wind through hemlock ravines to Columbia County's highest waterfall. Local 111 and other village favorites are close at hand for dining. Hudson's Warren Street galleries, restaurants, and Amtrak station are eighteen minutes away, Chatham is fifteen minutes, and New York City is two and a half hours by car. The farm stands, hiking trails, and country roads that define life in this part of the valley are all within easy reach.
