Formerly The Wilcox Schoolhouse (circa 1902), the Copake building was converted in the mid-1960s to a residence on two levels. Hardwood floors, beamed ceilings and fireplace are a few of the original details that stand out amongst the additions of the kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Even with all the updates, the bones of the classroom stand out in the living room, dining area and other living spaces. The large yard has frontage to the Roeliff Jansen Kill Stream, and there's a studio building with heat and electric plus a two-bay barn, shed and chicken coop. Listed for $399,000 by Beach & Bartolo.

Dane’s dining room and parlor are both filled with second-hand treasures. Her Art Deco dining set has been central to multiple iterations of her home. “I’ve had this table since 1990,” says Dane. “This table has seen many a meal, many a poker game, and lots of production work.” The starburst chandelier came from a second-hand office supply store in Austin. “I bought four for $100,” she says.
