The House Boat / Athens, NY
Amazingly, this 1920's house boat
originally navigated the Hudson and Athens channels on the river's west
bank. Locals recount stories of shad being fished off of the boat and sold
in the Athens village market. Town historians say it is perhaps the last of
its kind in the Hudson river area.
Incredibly cute,
light-filled, newly and tastefully renovated, this petite 3-room bungalow
was recently fitted with a large, new deck and native, blue stone patio. It
faces the Hudson river, has river views and its own private, fenced and
landscaped yard. Amenities include a washer and dryer. Cable TV and
satellite are also available.
Situated in the
Village of Athens, the House Boat is within walking distance of the Athens
post office, parks, stores and restaurants.
Ice boating is still
practiced on the river as is sailing, kayaking, skiing and fly fishing at
Catskill. Just across the river is the village of Hudson, famous as an
antiquer's paradise. Farmer's Markets abound in the area known for it's
peaceful rural atmosphere.
Athens is 10
minutes from Hudson, NY and Frederick Church’s Olana. It is about 25 miles
from Bard College, 2 ˝ hours from NYC, 10 minutes from Catskill, NY and
close to several skiing areas.
The House Boat is
