Inspired by Park Avenue. Surrounded by the timeless beauty of Cooperstown. For those who believe a home should be a reflection of art, not simply a place to live. Some homes are built. Others are curated. Privately nestled among the rolling hills just minutes from the Village of Cooperstown, this extraordinary country estate blends timeless architecture, gracious living, and inspired design. Originally conceived by the late Angela Plowden Wardlaw, the home reflects her appreciation for sophisticated interiors and was inspired by legendary New York architect Rosario Candela, whose iconic Park Avenue and Sutton Place residences defined an era of elegant living. The thoughtful floor plan embraces Candela's philosophy of balancing grandeur with warmth, creating spaces equally suited for entertaining and everyday life.
A dramatic entrance hall welcomes guests before revealing a graceful winding staircase. The expansive foyer flows into a sun-filled sitting room, while a handsome study and formal dining room flank each side. A separate entrance from the kitchen to the dining room preserves both elegance and function.
Rich moldings, designer wall coverings, curated lighting, custom millwork, and carefully selected finishes create interiors unlike anything else in the region. Every room has been intentionally composed to feel both sophisticated and inviting.
The chef's kitchen features professional-grade appliances, custom cabinetry, generous workspace, and a striking center island designed for gathering family and friends.
The expansive full walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility with endless possibilities for a private theater, game room, wine cellar & tasting room, fitness studio, guest accommodations, or whatever your lifestyle inspires.
Outside, sweeping views of the Otsego County countryside create a private retreat just minutes from Cooperstown, Otsego Lake, Leatherstocking Golf Course, Bassett Medical Center, dining, shopping, and cultural attractions.
More than a home, this is a celebration of architecture, artistry, and gracious living, an exceptional opportunity for the buyer seeking a residence as distinctive as its history.
