Bring this grand 1892 Victorian home back to life and restore its timeless charm on approximately 8 private acres in the top-rated Bethlehem Central School District. Said to be owned by a decendent of hamlet founder John Slingerland, this special estate is rich with history. It showcases decorative Victorian trim and gables, an expansive wraparound front porch, original wood clapboard siding, and a natural slate roof. It presents an incredible opportunity to revive its original craftsmanship as a once-in-a-generation private family compound. ATTENTION BUILDERS & DEVELOPERS: This parcel is also a premier residential development tract. Zoned Residential A with highly coveted municipal utility access, the expansive 8-acre footprint offers immense subdivision potential for a high-end, single-family cul-de-sac neighborhood (see map image). Whether you are a preservationist dreaming of restoring a historic homestead or a developer seeking Slingerlands' next premium subdivision, this property offers unmatched potential. The peaceful grounds are exceptionally located just steps from the Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail, and close to local restaurants and shopping. The original carriage house includes an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and plentiful storage. Properties with this rare blend of historic charm, acreage, and development potential do not last. Property is sold AS-IS. Cash or renovation/construction loan only.
