Unique Opportunity: Historic North Branch Firehouse

We are proud to present a rare opportunity to own the historic Old North Branch Firehouse, a versatile property offering endless residential and commercial possibilities. Ideal for an event space, gallery, studio, gym or dance school, Airbnb, workshop, or a variety of new business ventures for the area.

First Floor

With its own private entrance, the first floor features high ceilings, a large kitchen, spacious bathroom, one bedroom, and an expansive open living area with room to easily add another bedroom. Also on this level is the former firehouse apparatus room—now a two-truck garage with 10-foot ceilings—currently used as an artist work and exhibition space. This area could also serve as a workshop, studio, or creative space and includes 220-volt industrial electrical capacity.

Second Floor

The second floor offers charming mid-century character, highlighted by high ceilings, polished hard-pine floors, broad window casings, a small stage, and four closets. The space includes an open living, dining, and exercise area plus a separate bedroom. Formerly a dance hall and currently operating as a high-end vacation rental, it features a full-size kitchenette and could easily function as a separate apartment with a dedicated bathroom off the first-floor entry foyer. This flexible space would also be ideal for a yoga studio, dance studio, personal training space, meeting hall, or live/work studio.

Additional Buildings

The property also includes two outbuildings:

• A 1,440 sq ft metal pole building on a poured concrete foundation with 14′ x 14′ sliding doors and an 18′ peak ceiling, currently used as a sculpture studio. Perfect for a workshop, studio, vehicle storage, or boat storage.

• The original 1800s wooden firehouse, approximately 270 sq ft, with a poured concrete slab and currently used for storage.

Outdoor Features

Enjoy a low-maintenance yard with mature fruit trees including apple, pear, peach, and plum, along with 50 high-yield blueberry bushes and rhubarb plants—perfect for outdoor entertaining and gardening.

Some major highlights of the location is the renowned North Branch Inn, a sought-after 5 star restaurant located just across the street. The incredible hamlets like Callicoon and Jeffersonville are just minutes away.
