Built in 1810 by Isaac Cooper, the brother of novelist James Fenimore Cooper, this Georgian mansion is situated on two acres fronting the headwaters of the Susquehanna River on Otsego Lake in the historic Village of Cooperstown. Occupying a half block, the six-plus bedroom residence is landscaped with mature specimen trees, gardens and lawns protected by an eight foot high private hedge on three sides. A horseshoe staircase in the foyer introduces the formal rooms of excellent proportion and scale, which are embellished with beautiful woodwork and bathed in an abundance of natural light. The large private courtyard entrance to the rear of the residence, with a planted median, is shielded by a companion greenhouse/caretaker's cottage, smokehouse, guest house and two car garage. This enchanting offering steeped in history, is waiting for you to create your own legacy.
