Greencrest Cottage January 9th, 1873, Freeman's Journal, The dwelling erected by Newell and Park for John Worthington is one of the most stylish and attractive in the village. The piazza was added in 1903. Greencrest is a three-story Victorian House, exclusively built for John Worthington. Expansive halls and high ceilings, both downstairs and upstairs, with a winding staircase, breath lightness and airiness to the structure. Double parlors, living room and dining room, with fireplaces and beautiful full length French doors, open onto the grande piazza to the south. Original hard wood floors throughout, with Parquet floors in the entrance foyer. A greenhouse sits in the bay window off the foyer, with a coat closet tucked under the stairs. Charming library with curved built-ins, floor to ceiling, perfect office or study. Kitchen renovated in 2006, with custom cabinets, cork flooring, gas stovetop, quartz countertops and an eat-in dining area with mudroom entrance from back porch. A butler's pantry with wet bar, a half bath/powder room and back staircase completes the first floor. The second floor has a spacious landing, main bedroom and three additional bedrooms, plus two full baths, one with a stackable washer/dryer. The third floor offers two rooms, a full bath with clawfoot tub and a large separate attic space for storage. Great space for family room. Located one block from Otsego Lake and Main Street. History abounds with this magnificent structure, well maintained and fortunate to have the stewards to guide it through its journey.
