1890 Greek Revival

Oneonta, New York 13820

Located 2 miles from Milford, and 15 minutes from both Cooperstown and Oneonta, this property enjoys an enviable location. Quick access to anywhere you'd want to go, nearby state parks and forests, yet it's on a quiet road in a bucolic country setting. There is .61 acre, mostly open, rolling topography. Only one neighbor's home is near enough to see.

There is just enough shade, with large birches, maple, hemlock and a 4' diameter spruce, to name a few. Yet you'll have ample sunny space for gardens and outdoor activities.

The nearly 1600 sq. ft. home was just completely renovated, with mostly new ceilings and walls, new electric entrance and wiring, recessed adjustable lighting, thermal pane windows, new insulated stainless steel chimneys, updated heat system, new custom kitchen and baths, new plumbing, fresh paint everywhere, new 3/4" hickory floors, 5 new closets, new staircase...

The main heat is oil hot air, but there is a wood stove for backup or ambiance. ALSO, 2 12000 BTU mini-split heat exchangers, which give energy efficient heat and air-conditioning downstairs.

The home has an open floor plan. Downstairs there is an eat-in kitchen (10.5x18') which adjoins 2 large rooms (14.5x17.5', 13x17.5') used for living and large family meals. There is also a full bath and laundry (7.5x15') , 2 bedrooms (15x15, 9x13') and a large 8x16' mud room.

Upstairs is a half bath, a play area, the third bedroom, + 2 storage rooms which in the distant past were once bedrooms. And there is an attic.

All but one downstairs room has new flooring, either hickory hardwood or ceramic tile. The master bedroom retains its wide plank floor and all the antique features the home once enjoyed. The same can be said for the bedroom above it.

The walls of the kitchen and an adjoining room are done in lightly-stained wood, giving the home an instantly warm and friendly feel. The downstairs is sunny, bright, and airy.

With both front and side porches, this home just oozes character and charm. If you are the sort of person who wants a dry basement and everything straight and square, it may not be for you; but if you want a really nice property, one that instantly feels like a home, a place where people have loved and laughed for generations, this is an exciting find.

Priced to sell. Taxes are absurdly low (don't tell them!), around $1300, which makes it easy to afford.
