The ability to stroll into town for a drink at the friendly tavern or indulge in some ice cream from the old-fashioned shopiversary the allure of this home even further, with a weekly Trailways Bus from NYC dropping passengers in the middle of the town. Embedded into the fabric of Prattsville's history and profoundly beautiful, this home relates tales of the centuries past while offering an idyllic lifestyle to its future homeowners. Perfectly enchanted, this house is an undeniable gem that truly has to be seen to fully comprehend its majesty.
