On a quiet country road just off NY-8, this fully renovated 1850s home offers a wonderfully private setting on 0.57 wooded acres. Centrally located approximately 30 minutes from Cooperstown, Hamilton and Utica, one of the most memorable features of the property is the year-round waterfall directly behind the house, its sound and view creating a distinctive natural backdrop. Inside, the home combines historic character with stylish and thoughtful updates designed with a sophisticated touch and a true appreciation for fine craftsmanship. The delightful kitchen features quartz and marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom built in cabinetry, while hardwood and marble tile floors, natural wood trim and doors, and casement windows add warmth throughout. Two wood-burning fireplaces contribute to the atmosphere. The home offers three bedrooms and three full baths, including a primary bedroom and a second bedroom, each with its own luxury ensuite bath. A third-floor attic-loft plus an additional bonus room provide flexible space for a studio, home office, guest room, or other use for a grand total of approximately 2,438 sqft. Outdoor living extends beyond the house with a front porch, rear porch, and patio, each offering its own place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A detached one-car garage could be a nice studio in a truly unique setting and full basement provide additional storage and utility. Nearby area attractions include an apple orchard, greenhouse-plant shop, The Horned Dorset Inn and The Horned Dorset artists' retreat.
