A New York Train Station Converted into a Charming Home Just Hit the Market

Anyone inspired by the old world aesthetics of train travel, recently re-popularized by films such as Murder on the Orient Express, now has a chance to capture that character with a very special purchase. This home in Bloomingburg, New York may not be mobile, but it certainly boasts the charm of train travel thanks in large part to its past life as a railroad station.

Originally a stop along the Ontario & Western Railroad, the 3,449-square foot home now stands far from any active train tracks, but maintains the look and feel of a 19th century train station. Within the original building, the former waiting room has been transformed into a sizable living room, complete with the station’s two-sided fireplace, while the ticket booth serves as a home office. The station master’s former quarters now house the home’s bedroom wing, which hold four of the five bedrooms. The fifth, a master suite, is part of a new addition.

While telling of these transformations will certainly never grow old, the home’s personality is also apparent in its original arched doorways, including the custom, wrought iron entry door still marked with the O&W logo. Mosaic stone floors and stained glass also remain from the station’s first glory days.
