Hankins Schoolhouse: Hankins, NY
About The Property
Step back in time with this quintessential two room country schoolhouse built in 1845. Recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, Hankins Schoolhouse is absolutely dripping in history and character, but primed and ready for the next chapter of its story.
Generous in scale, the schoolhouse is spread out across nearly 1500 square feet with tall ceilings and windows throughout. This is no dark and choppy farmhouse - think loft living in the country.
Currently set up with the front classroom as a primary bedroom, and secondary classroom as kitchen and dining, the layout is flexible and can be adjusted to suit whatever you might be looking to accomplish. The only limiting factor here is your imagination
Two smaller rooms on either side of the center hallway could act as kids’ bedrooms, offices, additional storage, or future sites of new bathrooms or laundry areas.
The full bathroom is connected to one of the small bedrooms as well as the dining/kitchen room. A brand new septic was installed in 2023 which would allow any future owner to add a second full bathroom to the home - a worthwhile improvement!
In the winter, enjoy cozy nights around the antique woodstove. Like most things in the schoolhouse, it is fully functional as is but could be updated to more modern standards if you so choose.
In the warmer months you’ll want to spend as much time as possible in the “newest” part of the property: the screened in porch, though its sizable enough to really be used as an additional living space. Room for a dining table as well as a seating area, its a great spot to enjoy the breeze, the birdsong, and the peaceful views in to the fern dappled forests behind the house.
Hankins Schoolhouse is a unique opportunity to step in to a project with much of the heavy lifting already complete. The bones are beautiful and compelling and ready for a new owner to reimagine. The home is livable as is - it’s really up to you to take on as much or as little alteration as you’d like.
Set hillside in the hamlet of Hankins, you’ll be hardly a minute from the Delaware River and all the outdoor activities it provides. For town life, the buzzing and desirable river town of Callicoon is 6 minutes south with a wide variety of dining, drinking, and shopping options. Towns like Roscoe and Narrowsburg are only 25 minutes away as well.
Don’t miss this one. Like the house itself, it’s sure to be history quickly.
