CATSKILLS DANCEHALL
Cochecton, NY Catskills
SOLD
4BD, 2BA
This 1930’s farmhouse was once a community meeting and dance hall. Uncovering the original stage was the major inspiration for this entire project, which was gutted to the studs before restoring the space. The floor plan in the lower part of the building was reconfigured into cozy living spaces, including open kitchen, dining, large bathroom and two bedrooms. The upper part of the building became a huge great room with almost 12’ ceilings, original details, wood stove, two more bedrooms, a bathroom, and a stage!

TAKEAWAYS
Instead of breaking up the building’s original open dance hall into smaller rooms, we felt it was the history and original features that made this property much more exciting. A full restoration of the stage meant dismantling the original decorative fronts and having them rebuilt by our woodworker to match. The end result was a unique design with plenty of space for the new owner make it their own; a truly unique home.
