40 High St Afton, NY 13730

RESTORED 1870S VICTORIAN HOMESTEAD: Named in 2012 by Mother Earth News as one of its inaugural Homesteads of the Year, this property has the best of all worlds--walking access to Afton village and K12 schools--for convenience, great privacy on a quiet, lightly trafficked edge of town road with great setbacks from the neighbors, and a fabulous 7.5+- acre property complete with vegetable, herb and flower gardens, an orchard, a 36x26' two story barn and ample backyard property on which to play. Add to this, the 2000'+- home with a large family kitchen/dining room as the heart of the house, 4 BRs (including 2-room Master Suite on first floor), 1.5 BAs, and an office. There is a separate 12x12 ft studio, ample potting and storage sheds to service the gardens, and a large workshop in the barn. In essence, an in-town green living farmette with all kinds of updated luxuries. Some of those details--solar panels on roof do most of the heating for your hot water; the basement has all been sprayed with foam insulation for efficiency, you can walk to town for many services, and for the big picture, you are located conveniently between Binghamton and Oneonta. You'll love the beautiful perennial plantings and landscaping, also included is a separate .66 acre building lot across the road which protects the view. I hope I haven't forgotten anything, there is so much to tell! So, come take a look for yourselves, this property really is a unique opportunity for the right buyers!
