68 Main St | A Livingston Manor Landmark Built in 1884 by prominent local merchant A.P. DuBois, this beautifully preserved Eastlake Victorian is believed to be the oldest surviving residence on Main Street. Set on nearly an acre with an extraordinary 150 feet of frontage, it offers a rare combination of history, location, and future potential in the heart of Livingston Manor. DuBois arrived following the expansion of the Ontario & Western Railroad, operated a mercantile store directly across the street, and later helped found the Livingston Manor National Bank. His home was remarkably advanced for its time, among the first locally with indoor plumbing, central heating, and gas lighting. Several original gas fixtures remain today, now converted to electric. Inside, 10½-foot ceilings, wide-plank floors, original millwork and hardware, stained glass, pocket doors, a triple-run cherry staircase, original mantels, and a working Rumford fireplace preserve the craftsmanship of another era. Five bedrooms offer the potential for a sixth, along with a full staircase-accessed attic. Major improvements include a tear-off roof in 2018, furnace in 2017, restored and lined chimneys, and municipal water and sewer. Three porches, mature trees, original bluestone paths and cast-iron fencing, and generous off-street parking create an unexpectedly private setting just steps from Livingston Manor's restaurants, shops, galleries, and the Willowemoc Creek. General Business zoning adds another dimension, allowing for a range of residential and commercial possibilities including hospitality, restaurant, retail, professional office, and accessory dwelling uses, subject to approvals. With continued investment throughout Livingston Manor and planned green space directly across the street, the DuBois House represents a rare opportunity to own an important piece of the village's past and play a role in its next chapter.
