5 Church Street, Philmont, NY

About 5 Church Street

Three buildings on two adjoining Church Street parcels, conveyed together, all vacant. 5 Church Street is four units, broom-clean and cosmetic: wide-plank pine already refinished, plaster sound, original moulded casings and baseboards intact, a three-sided bay with a curved ceiling, and a varnished panelled entry with its dentil shelf, cast escutcheon and period bell. It wants exterior paint, porch repair and tenants. 7 Church Street is the showpiece -- full-height round tower, curved colonnaded porch on classical columns, leaded gable light, envelope sound, laid out as separate residences. Behind it stands a third building, stripped to framing with a concrete foundation: demolition sunk, structure visible and priceable, no abatement hidden behind lath. Seven units of record across the parcels. Within the Philmont National Register historic district, four blocks from the 22M Summit Mill redevelopment, fifteen minutes to Hudson and Amtrak.
