This beautiful property sits off a town road. Tucked between fields and trees it overlooks a valley and an expanse of rolling hills. Built by hand and intimately designed, this home has a variety of features. It incorporates reclaimed lumber and stone from a small quarry near Cooperstown. The cedar exterior encloses floors and trimmings of refinished pine. This three bedroom, one and a half bath house, is full of tranquility and light. The front porch leads you into an open plan first floor that will take your breath away. High arched ceilings crossed with wood beams frame an expansive window design stretching almost two stories high. A French door lets in even more light and leads onto a deck with a view of your pond, rolling hills and an endlessly stretching sky. One wall is dominated by a Rumford stone fire place. The kitchen and dining room sit tucked away with their own access to both the deck and the back porch. Plenty of choices to enjoy your the morning coffee with birdsong. Off this space is a first floor bedroom and a large bath with marble flooring and trim. A standalone shower is joined by a deep Jacuzzi tub with its own heating system. Soak for as long as you’d like in here! Climb pine stairs into an open second floor loft space. A carved railing allows for a stunning view of the main room. Exit onto a second story deck or climb a wide rung ladder into your own personal observatory tower. This 11×11 space glows with pine floors and walls and has a 360′ degree view of the surrounding countryside. It could be anything from a studio, to a secluded reading room, to a pirate’s loft. Use your imagination! The house is in currently receiving its final trimming, sanding, painting etc. and waits with its new roof and double insulated windows to welcome its first occupants. Don’t miss out on this breath-taking property. A quite country retreat 4 miles off I-88, 20 minutes to Cooperstown and Oneonta, 40 minutes to Albany, 3 and half hours to NYC.
