Property Description
The beauty of Otsego Lake is calling with this rare find – a grand Arts and Crafts style home with guest apartment set on 14.88 private acres and close to 500 feet of breathtaking lake frontage. Every room in the home has been carefully positioned to take in sweeping views of this pristine glacial lake known for its ”Glimmerglass” appearance and surrounding rolling hills.
The first floor of the main house is a host’s dream with spacious, sunny rooms that flow easily and invite you in. The generous dining room opens up to one of the centerpieces of the home – the sunny living room with its cathedral ceilings, large stone fireplace and tall windows. The chef’s kitchen will certainly become the hub of the home with marble counters, a walk-in pantry, Wolf induction range and refrigerator, and the adjoining catering kitchen. For a cozy evening, head down to the study which offers its own stone fireplace.
The second floor feels spacious and comfortable with its three bedrooms, two baths and laundry room. The generous primary suite has room for a king bed, sitting area and includes a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. Up to the third floor and you’ll find two more bedrooms with a lavish bath.
This home has been lovingly updated with renovations by a high-end local contractor that include creating a new kitchen, updates to all bathrooms, Restoration Hardware fixtures, finishing the third floor bedrooms, adding a new boiler, Marvin windows, hardwood floors, outdoor terrace, hot tub, gas fire pit, Tesla car chargers, and replacing the septic system. There is also a two car garage with a sweet and stylish one bedroom/one bathroom apartment.
While nearby Cooperstown is known for the Baseball Hall of Fame, there is so much more this picturesque upstate town has to offer. For arts and culture, check out the world-class offerings at Glimmerglass Opera as well as the Farmers Museum and Fenimore Art Museum. Dine at the historic Otesaga Resort Hotel or local favorite Origins Cafe. You are also under an hour and a half from both Syracuse, Albany, and Windham Ski Club and three hours and twenty minutes to the GWB in NYC.
