Just moments from Cazenovia Lake, Lakeland Park, boutiques, restaurants, and the village’s celebrated main street, the property places village life just beyond the front door while preserving the quiet of a country residence. Originally constructed in 1825, the home has been thoughtfully updated without compromising the architectural character that has defined it for generations. Original wide-plank floors and six wood-burning fireplaces remain integral, while refined renovations introduce a level of comfort rarely found in homes of this era. At its heart, the kitchen serves as a gathering place and workspace, featuring an oversized granite waterfall island, professional-grade appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a seamless connection to the vaulted great room, where skylights and a stone fireplace fill the space with natural light. Formal and informal living areas unfold across the main level for gatherings both intimate and grand. Upstairs, the primary suite offers dual walk-in closets, private laundry, and a fireplace, joined by additional bedrooms, renovated baths, and guest accommodations. The finished lower level adds two bedrooms, a recreation room, wet bar, fitness area, and generous storage for extended family or guests. A covered porch overlooks the heated saltwater pool, while expansive patios offer places to dine, gather, or enjoy the landscape. Mature trees frame the property, providing privacy without sacrificing proximity to the village. Timeless architecture, modern comfort, and exceptional amenities come together in a home that enriches daily life.
