Inside, prepare to fall in love with the old world details including, deep window sills, original wide plank pine flooring, exposed stone walls, beautifully curved plaster walls, exposed beams, original doors and hardware, and more.
The owner had a clear vision for this beautiful home and executed several thoughtful projects, however, a few projects still remain. This allows the unique opportunity for you to obtain a special property at an attractive price with the ability to put your stamp on the home and include your finishing touches. The majority of the first floor has been renovated, two bedrooms and a large bathroom on the second floor have been completed, all of the windows in the home (except for one) have been replaced, the pool has been professionally opened, closed, and maintained, and has a newer liner. The renovations that were completed were done with the utmost care and respect for the era of the home.
The eat-in kitchen was finished with solid cherry cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and an Elmira Heritage six burner range. You will note the freshly pointed exposed stone wall and reclaimed wood casing around the doorway.
The family room offers preferred modern and crisp recessed lighting, which illuminates the stunning original wide plank floors and stone fireplace. The French doors bring in beautiful natural light and open out onto a deck with views of the pool and the spacious side yard. Through the family room, you will find the bright formal living room (which would also make a great playroom), that also offers outside access to the front porch.
The dining room is perfectly placed between the living room and the kitchen and also boasts the original wide plank flooring. The dining room is nicely sized, allowing room for a sizable table. The built-ins and closet are both attractive and quite convenient. Off the dining room is a foyer with a timeless hand laid brick floor and a view of the staircase. A powder room is also conveniently located on the first floor.
Upstairs, the second floor offers four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, the laundry area, and a hall closet. A staircase leads to the third floor, which features one large bedroom, along with a large separate storage area.
The outdoors offer a peaceful setting and there is plenty of room for any activity. The pool has been well maintained and offers abundant space for lounging and relaxing poolside. The sprawling property offers plenty of outdoor storage in one of three oversized garage spaces, as well as a large bank barn. The lovely field stone wall along the front of the property harkens back to the home’s early days.
