About This Home
Without question one of Cazenovia's most recognized and admired homes, perfectly poised on the eastern shore of the lake, stands "Ormonde". Generations of residents and visitors to the Cazenovia community have enjoyed the beauty, style and mystique of this Shingle Style home. Designed by architect Frank Furness and completed in circa 1885, this home was once part of a massive 300 acre estate. This sale includes non-contiguous waterfront to the south. Ormonde is listed on the National Register of Historic places and has its own Wikipedia page. Officially noted as a Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, Shingle Style residence, this eight bedroom, six full bath and two half bath residence has been in the same family for the past 42 years. So much of the original detail remains including ornate woodwork. Although spacious in its entirety, Ormonde possesses a sense of comfort and intimacy throughout. Every room, particularly on the first floor, has a distinct personality. On the south end of the house is a two story area used in the past as an apartment and is ideal for in-laws or visiting family and friends. This area has a separate kitchen, bath and two bedrooms. The large, wrap-around porch to the south and west is ideal for large, weather-friendly entertaining or can be designed to have several separate uses that you find desirable. On the second floor it is almost certain the deck will be your favorite spot to relax and catch glimpses of the annual fireworks display. Under the carpet on the second level are likely wood floors that the next owner may want to reveal. The walk-up attic provides a large, 3 season space that beckons one to explore and create a wonderful retreat such as an in home theatre, studio, play area or quiet nook to read. On the exterior, a wrap around driveway provides easy access for company when entertaining. The rolling lawn provides the perfect foreground for this grand residence. The non-contiguous waterfront is a short stroll to the south and provides 45' of access. This home is being sold "as is".
