Investment Opportunity with Income & Business Potential in Franklin, NY
125 Water Street is a rare find in the heart of Franklin — a spacious 1850 Greek Revival farmhouse on a corner lot, offering serious potential to generate multiple income streams. With flexible zoning, ample square footage, and major infrastructure upgrades already in place, this property is primed for transformation into a smart investment.
The front of the home is well on its way, featuring a large kitchen, dining area, two generous living spaces, and a dramatic staircase leading to an unfinished massive primary suite. Period woodwork and historic details add character, while behind the scenes, key systems — including foundation, electric, plumbing, water, and insulation — have already been upgraded.
A wrap around porch runs from the kitchen to the living room with the small-town charm we all crave. Large light filled living spaces have access to the covered front porch.
The rear of the property is where the opportunity truly expands: a massive two-story garage/studio space tall enough to house trucks, RVs, or large equipment. This space could serve as a base for a contractor, service business, or creative enterprise — or be converted into rental units.
Located in a revitalizing Catskills village with a new Main Street grant and thriving creative energy, this is a strategic opportunity to invest in both real estate and community.
Minutes to Oneonta, Cooperstown All Star Village, 1 hr 15 minutes to ski resorts and 3 hrs 15 mins to NYC. The property is being sold, as-is.
