The Chapel in Jefferson
A rare opportunity to reimagine a piece of Jefferson history, this circa-1900 former church offers charm, and character in a very memorable package. With its cedar shake exterior, pointed-arch windows, original double entry doors, and simple country-chapel form, the building retains the soulful presence of its past while offering a flexible next chapter.
Inside, warm wood walls, exposed beams, a lofted upper level, and open gathering spaces create a rustic, atmospheric interior with wonderful potential. The property has been adapted over time for residential and retail use, and currently includes areas that have functioned as bedrooms, along with a kitchen and bath area. Buyers should note that the sleeping areas are not currently legal bedrooms and would require proper egress/window updates to meet residential bedroom standards. The kitchen and bathroom are in place but will need updating, and completion with kitchen sink not working.
After the removal of all items from the premises, the property is being sold "as is". There is a heating system on site, but the current owner has never operated it. Given the nature of the property and the work needed, this will likely be best suited to a cash buyer.
For the right buyer, this is the kind of project that does not come along often: a historic chapel with architectural character, municipal water, an evocative interior, and the chance to create something deeply personal - whether as a distinctive residence, studio, retreat, or live/work space. Your (very unique) Catskill Dream Awaits!
