#1163 Stick-built custom country home, for horses, relaxation, e-z and comfortable living. Built in 1995, it sits on 7.5 open acres, WAY off the road for extra privacy and quiet, with long valley views to the south. The owner invested $15000 in outstanding pasture fencing for horses. (they utilize a 2 stall run-in shed,18x20). Albany, Utica and Cooperstown are an hours drive or less. Saratoga and Syracuse are within 75 minutes.
The home is pretty special; there is a lot to like here and it is exceptionally well built and in excellent condition. It features a wrap-around porch + a large deck on the south side, the side with the views. Water is from a good drilled well and there is a softener (not used, though functional) and a UV light so it will pass any inspection. The heat is oil hot air with wood backup, $2100/year with just oil, and not attempt to economize - which illustrates just...
The home is pretty special; there is a lot to like here and it is exceptionally well built and in excellent condition. It features a wrap-around porch + a large deck on the south side, the side with the views. Water is from a good drilled well and there is a softener (not used, though functional) and a UV light so it will pass any inspection. The heat is oil hot air with wood backup, $2100/year with just oil, and not attempt to economize - which illustrates just how well insulated this home is. There is also a fireplace, never used in all this time. The home has 3080 ft2 of living space. Attached to it is a large garage with storage space overhead. It can hold 3 cars or, better, two with ample room for a shop.
Entering from the front, one encounters a very large cathedral-ceilinged foyer with an oak floor. An large office is to one side and the living room to the other. That also has oak floors and the fireplace. Go straight ahead and you enter the kitchen. It is exceptionally nice, bright, with tons of both counter and storage space and room for a table for dining. It has ceramic tile floors and they carry through all the way to the garage. Between the kitchen and the living room is a large dining room (oak floors). In the opposite direction off the kitchen is a large family room (tile/carpet floors), then a full bath, and a dedicated laundry.
Upstairs are 2 large bedrooms, a huge bath, and a master bedroom that some may describe as vast. It has a walk-in closet, no surprise.
The basement is full, high-ceilinged and has an overhead door for walkout use. Drive your lawnmower in, a firewood cart, whatever you need. Plenty of storage, almost perfectly dry (at times some water enters via the well pipe conduit).
Selling because of a job change, the owner asks $265000. Town and County taxes are only $2230. You cant find taxes that low on a house this nice and certainly not with this much land.
