3 Main Street, Wassaic, NY, 12592 | $745,000

Nestled in the heart of Wassaic Hamlet on Main Street, this meticulously revitalized 1920s two-story barn, spanning 10, 640 SF, stands as a testament to craftsmanship and vision. Over six years, from 2017 to 2023, exceptional contractors, tradespeople, and artisans transformed this historic structure into the Wassaic Commons, a modern masterpiece, blending rustic charm with state-of-the-art functionality. The iconic green barn, with HM zoning, offers a versatile canvas for a variety of uses, including office space, retail, arts instruction, studios, workshops, or storage, making it an ideal investment for entrepreneurs and creatives alike. The first floor, encompassing 5, 320 SF, is thoughtfully divided into 3 distinct spaces. On one side, a 1, 200 SF area houses an 800 SF market space and a 400 SF commercial kitchen, currently leased to the esteemed Vitksy Bakery. On the opposite side, 3, 600 SF of raw retail space awaits, with potential for further subdivision to suit diverse business needs. At the center, a 520 SF section includes an office, 2 bathrooms, and mechanical systems, providing essential infrastructure for seamless operations. The second floor, also 5, 320 SF, features 3, 600 SF of raw space brimming with potential for customization. The remaining 1, 720 SF is currently utilized for mechanical systems and storage. The loft’s 20-foot ceilings are adorned with a breathtaking lighting design inspired by the constellation of Polaris, Ursa Minor, and neighboring stars, with fixtures suspended at varying heights, sizes, and brightness. The timbers on this floor boast a charred finish that is naturally resistant to mold, mildew, and insects, adding aesthetic allure and durability. This is an ancient Japanese technique known as shou sugi ban. The barn’s transformation included extensive upgrades to ensure modern efficiency and comfort. A new metal roof, drilled well, and state-of-the-art water and wastewater treatment systems were installed, alongside plumbing for the existing bathrooms and commercial kitchen, with stubbed-out connections for future interior and exterior expansions. An on-demand gas-fired boiler heats the market and mid-portion of the barn, with pipes ready for future extensions, while Mitsubishi mini-split heat pumps with ducted air handlers provide cooling to these areas. The electrical system was upgraded to a 400 AMP service, and redundant CAT 6 insulated cables converge at a central rack in the service closet, equipped with a business-grade router, smart switch, video recorder, and high-definition cameras for enhanced connectivity and security. Custom cabinetry, paneling, and millwork, crafted by master carpenters, elevate the interior, with careful attention to acoustics for an optimal environment. The structure itself has been rigorously evaluated by structural engineers, architects, and timber specialists, ensuring its integrity and longevity. Outside, the barn’s exterior was meticulously scraped and painted, with reclaimed planting areas, cleared views of the bordering stream, outdoor seating, and bicycle racks creating an inviting destination for residents and visitors. A concrete sidewalk connects the barn to a 748 SF storage shed, which houses a 12 x 6 commercial-grade walk-in cooler and additional storage space. Located just steps from the Wassaic Art Project, the Lantern Inn, Calsi’s General Store and the local post office, this property is centrally positioned between Amenia, Millbrook, Millerton, Kent, Sharon, and Pawling. Its proximity to the Wassaic Metro North Train Station, the final stop on the Harlem line, and Route 22 make it a convenient 2 hour journey to NYC by car or train. For outdoor enthusiasts, the barn marks the starting point of the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, offering 46 miles of paved trails for bicyclists. This extraordinary property, blending historic charm with modern innovation, is a rare opportunity to own a versatile and vibrant cornerstone in the heart of Wassaic Hamlet.
