Historic Beauty in Tranquil Country Village

This is it.  You have been dreaming of a property like this… FOREVER.   A historic beauty, which sits on an avenue, in the most tranquil, serene, and quintessential country villages.  A FULLY, MOVE IN ready home. A floor plan, reimagined, to suit most modern lifestyles.  A setting like no other…more on that later…

Curb appeal…CAPTIVATING…created and nurtured for 50 years.  The seller purchased the home after it experienced a fire and required a full renovation.  That project began in 1976.   Through the years, additional improvements and enhancements were completed.   A number of key energy efficient renovations and upgrades have thoughtfully improved the lifestyle offered by this lovely home, including: Paradigm replacement windows 2005, standing seam metal roof 2005, siding and insulation 2005, 2 full bathrooms completely redone…  to start…

Pulling up to the home, one cannot help but notice the perennial gardens.  They are EVERYWHERE.  Meant to be self sustaining and provide color for upstate New York’s three seasons.  Straight ahead of the driveway is a custom-built barn and garage from 2024.  The intent was a build that certainly could actually house 2 vehicles, but also had the potential to create a living space on the second level.  The barn’s architecture coordinates with the home’s aesthetics. A garden ’she shed’ sits aside the barn offering a private oasis for outdoor hobby pursuits and creative space.

Continuing around the home, the side yard is nothing short of ENCHANTING.  Tucked behind the picket fence is a magical garden.  The patio off the kitchen centers this outdoor space and beckons El fresco dining…on a regular basis!  A calming, private place that will call to you and offer a haven from the outside world.

Although there is a grand front entrance on the Avenue, most would most likely enter through the side entrance.  An ample deck greets you and provides comfortable outdoor seating.  You will be struck immediately by the warm, welcoming vibe of the space.  Space for boots in inclement weather immediately upon entering.  To the right is the walk-in pantry, main floor laundry and general storage area.  Straight ahead from this entrance is the second stairway and guest half bathroom.  To the left is the kitchen.  Glass doors infuse this room with light and lead to the enchanted garden.  Certainly, NOT a ’cookie cutter’ kitchen.  This space was created to be used and enjoyed.  Warm, custom cabinetry.  Tons of counter space.  Commercial stove.  Refinished plank flooring reminiscent of another time.

Continuing through the main level, formal, split dining room can, for sure, accommodate any large dining room suite.  Large living room offers many options for soft seating.

On to the main staircase…

The second floor will not disappoint!  Unlike many older homes, this home does have a primary suite!  Large room that can fit a king size bed and a bathroom that is fully renovated but fits the time period of when the home was built.  This home in general exhibits an elegance rarely created in today’s ’hard shell’ builds.  An additional 2 bedrooms and another fully renovated full bath on this level.  A practical, wall of closets, line the main hallway.  A bonus room can serve as a home office, additional sleeping area, or additional storage!

A 50 page information book will be provided to all buyers that details the home with tax bills, utility bills, maps, receipts and more!  This home offers an exquisite way of life 20 minutes to the major city hubs of Utica and Rome, Wynn hospital, Griffiss business park and 45 minutes to the heart of the Adirondacks!
