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. A detached garage/barn 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 strictly sold AS-IS.
