HISTORIC BRICK HOME ON 23 ACRES WITH YEAR-ROUND BROOK. Offering over 2,800 sq ft, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is located in a desirable area between two vacation meccas - the Adirondack Park and Thousand Islands region (with Ottawa, Canada 1.5 hr. drive). The parcel is lined by maple trees, has a large man-made pond, apple trees, meadow, and lush greenery. Built in 1869, with additions and renovations completed throughout the 1980’s, this home offers modern amenities for today’s lifestyle while adding to the charm of the original home. Original period details include hardwood flooring, (rare) curve cornered walls, moldings, and light fixtures. Three separate entrances are a nice feature of the home: The front door grants access to the dining room through the enclosed front porch. The dining room is centrally located with sight line views of the formal living room, kitchen, sun parlor, and pool area. Off the dining room is a full bathroom with walk-in closet and additional room for use as an office, dressing room, or 5th bedroom. The side entrance by the two-car detached garage opens to the sun parlor/sitting room with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and a woodstove. Off the second paved drive on the opposite side (w/ concrete pad for RV), is a covered porch accessing the formal living room and kitchen area. The kitchen features custom built cherry cabinets and unique ceramic tile flooring with a wood inlay. Off the kitchen on a separate wing, the master suite allows gorgeous four-season views with two sets of French doors that open to the deck and fenced inground pool area. Upstairs features three sizable bedrooms with wall-to-wall closets, a full bath, and laundry room. The home offers three different forms of heat. The property has been vacant for two years and in need of new ownership to care for as meticulously as the seller since purchasing 43 years ago. Located minutes from St. Lawrence University, Clarkson University, SUNY Canton, SUNY Potsdam, airport, hospital, shopping, and restaurants.
