About This Property
Perched atop the ridge-line that separates the Susquehanna and
Delaware watersheds, this Victorian era Grand-Dam looks out over
one of the most beautiful valleys in the entire Catskill region.
Built as the summer retreat for Anna Ayer Fry, daughter of the
founder of the Meridale Dairy, New York City's largest supplier of
milk in the early 1900's, this home has finery to spare. Imagine
yourself sitting in a comfortable chair on the 2nd story sunroom,
looking west over Meridale valley and the Ouleout Creek beyond.
This view, alone, will awe and amaze. The home retains many
details in near-perfect condition. The Fry house was one of the
center-pieces of life in Meredith Square. Along with the storied
Meredith Inn, several churches and the post-office/general store,
the area around this mountain-top community was active and
productive in ways other communities could only dream of at the
time. Two gorgeous glass-paneled sunrooms -- 1st floor and 2nd
floor -- draw your attention. These beautiful spaces allow views to
the west over a expansive lawn -- at one time the site of clay
tennis courts -- and further out across the peaceful Ouleout
Valley. This home would make an ideal bed and breakfast. The large
dining and sitting areas in the front of the house, each with
elegant fireplaces, are perfect for large meals or grand parties.
And the classic Victorian glass and stone-floor garden room off the
west sitting room makes outdoor entertaining pleasant, even on a
rainy summer day or a blustery fall afternoon. A large kitchen and
historically accurate butler-pantry with original built-in shelves
from floor to ceiling make meal prep and service easy. There is a
back porch with steps down to the back drive, and the original
servants' stairs off the kitchen make for quick access to the 2nd
floor directly from the kitchen. There is a bathroom, and a bedroom
on the 1st floor. The 2nd floor has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms,
with the western front bedroom having a large ensuite bathroom (and
that great glass-paneled sunroom). The eastern side room also has a
convenient working sink right in the room. The home is part of the
buildings that made up the historic Meredith Square, which is
seeing a revitalization with the reopening of the historic Meredith
Inn, a brewery nearby and many farm-to-table projects in the area.
Currently, the house has a life as a home for seniors, but it was
previously operated as a guest house. Imagine the new chapter
you'll be able to write here. The property includes a separate
2-bedroom cottage, and a spacious 3 bedroom home on the adjoining
lot, both rented with monthly income of over $1100. Keep these for
their rental income, or use them for support staff for your new
restaurant/guest home project.
The manager has listed the unit size as 3000 square feet.
