Property Description

This contemporary retreat, located just minutes to Oneonta, is a proven income generator through the local short term rental market, that offers a combination of unique layout, desirable features, and stylish flourishes. The house itself is nearly 2600 square feet in size, and covers three distinct living levels. Entering the home presents a regal and warm semi-formal living room space. A stairway leads up to the spacious top level primary suite, with plentiful room for a workspace, walk-in closet, and en-suite full bath with clawfoot tub. Back on the main level, a central landing opens into a full bathroom with tiled tub surround and connected sauna. This bathroom also connects to the second bedroom, a spacious room with a desk, sitting area, and slider doors out to a balcony overlooking the year-round creek. Continuing downstairs to the lower level, the charming informal living room showcases an enormous fieldstone fireplace surround and exposed beam ceilings. A few charming sitting/sleeping nooks, a second woodstove, a bonus workout and gameroom, and laundry-utility room all flank the central kitchen area. The picture windows with lengthy counter space for eating and reading look out over a tidy patio and bench overlooking the stream. The home is just quirky and cool, with stained glass features, nooks galore, and exposed wood for a real rustic feel. Outside the home, the land has a lengthy road frontage with the prominent Harrison Creek running just below and flowing along the length of the lot. A fenced yard with secondary patio and barbeque area has stone steps directly down to the water, beckoning you to cross through the low water and explore the open meadow, fire pit, and nature trail. This home could make for a primary residence with great access to Oneonta, and regional employment. It has been used as a second home/investment property hybrid, with the calendar completely booked for summer '26 already! With furnishings included, this stylish home, located literally 4 minutes from Cooperstown All Star Village and 25 minutes to Dreams Park, presents something for everybody in an incredibly unique package.
