About this House
Welcome to The Virginia Queen Inn, an 1860 Italianate set directly on the village green in Jefferson, within the town's recently designated National Register Historic District. The two-story, four-bay wood-frame house spans roughly 2,756 square feet across a cross-gabled main block and rear wing, trimmed in deep Italianate friezes, paired scrolled brackets, and modillion blocks. Behind that facade sit nine guest suites and eight and a half baths, recently renovated. With a current legal non-conforming Operating Permit as a boutique hotel, with no short-term rental restrictions. A separate street-level commercial storefront adds a second use to this rare offering on one of the Catskills' beautifully preserved historic villages.
Inside, wide-plank hardwood floors run beneath arched doorways, high ceilings, original pocket doors, and a turned-baluster staircase rises from an entry hall lit by a diamond-paned pendant fixture. The facade's Italianate entrance retains its paired doors with glazed upper panels, opening onto a foyer that sets the tone for a house built on careful, tactile detail. Two guest suites are arranged across the first floor, with the remaining seven bedrooms located on the second floor, most with private or ensuite baths. The second-floor signature suite opens onto a private balcony overlooking the green, and several suites can combine or share adjoining baths, giving a new owner flexibility for a full house of overnight guests, a large gathering, or a quieter stay.
Outside, the one-story wrap-around porch spanning the facade and east elevation retains its original squared posts and corner braces with punchwork detailing; the east elevation section was enclosed in glass around 1920 and today serves as a sun porch overlooking the green. A separate street-level commercial storefront, with its own private entrance onto the green, is ready for a café, bakery, gift shop, or gallery, giving a new owner the option to run a business alongside the residence, or lease the space independently. The Virginia Queen Inn occupies one of Jefferson's most visible corners, neighboring the historic Maple Museum and the new Middlebrook Café & Bakery.
The current owners have invested in the systems that support the house today: a new Navien propane hot water system, a Generac generator, updated plumbing, dedicated main-floor laundry with half bath, and a newer metal roof over a dry, well-kept attic. Jefferson itself is one of the region's least-altered nineteenth-century villages. From the porch, it's a short walk to the Jefferson General Store, the Mill Pond Inn & Restaurant, and Heartbreak Hotel. Stamford is six miles away, Cooperstown twenty-four, and Albany forty-five, with Amtrak service from Albany-Rensselaer and ski country at Hunter, Windham, Belleayre, and Plattekill all within reach. Offered fully furnished, The Virginia Queen Inn is ideal for a buyer drawn to hospitality, large-scale entertaining, or simply stewarding one of Jefferson's most storied addresses.
