RESTORED
1830'S GREEK REVIVAL FARMHOUSE
Set
on 3 private acres with amazing views, this 1830's
Greek Revival Farmhouse is one of the oldest existing
houses in the area. Close to many State Forests and
excellent trout fishing streams, it has easy access
to Ithaca or Binghamton, is 20 minutes from Cornell
parking lots, and less than an hour to Binghamton.
The
three acres have good southern and eastern exposure,
suitable for orchards, horses, or livestock.
The property has excellent views up and down West
Owego Creek Valley, and is bounded in the back by
dozens of square miles of forest. This peaceful setting
offers many large mature trees and plantings.
A
complete exterior restoration done in 2009 includes
new Cypress clapboard on the entire exterior, and
totally restored original exterior trim features.
Complete roof replacement, new 400sf stone patio and
retaining wall were all done in 2005. A whole house
French Drain system around both the house and shop
ensure that water will never be a problem, and all
rooms except one have had new walls, insulation, and
wiring. The ThermoPride oil fired furnace and new
on-demand propane hot water heater are energy efficient.
The 200 amp electrical panel is also new.
The
interior has original floor plan, original doors,
wide plank flooring, and much original hardware. The
unique open floor plan includes a living room / dining
room "great room" with a beautiful stone
fireplace and Lopi woodburning stove insert that primarily
heats the house. Built-in shelving, a remodeled 1st
floor bath & laundry, and pantry off the kitchen
with a breakfast area for casual dining are only a
few features. The relaxing enclosed porch overlooks
the lovely landscaping and stone patio, while the
2nd floor has an additional bonus space that is ideal
for a 4th bedroom, office, or playroom.
The
750 sf shop/garage includes a thermostat controlled
propane radiant heater with vented stack, 100 amp
subpanel, fully insulated 8" concrete floor, 400 sf
of high capacity overhead loft storage, and 50sf office
/ 125sf storage room. Lots of windows with good passive
solar heat gain in the winter, 8" wall insulation
and 12" roof insulation. Ideal for woodworking, welding,
auto shop, glassblowing, art studio, etc. There is
no zoning in the Town of Candor, so the possibilities
for an in-home business are limitless!
