Step into a storybook lifestyle with this meticulously maintained circa 1838 historic home, perfectly positioned on a generous 0.64-acre corner lot in the vibrant, artistic village of Gilbertsville. Balancing rich historic charm with extensive updates, this property is designed for both comfortable everyday living and exceptional creative pursuits. The main level welcomes you with a grand foyer featuring a gorgeous staircase. The heart of the home is a massive, character-filled eat-in kitchen complete with a large walk-in pantry and direct access to versatile bonus rooms—ideal for an office, mudroom, or pantry overflow. Gather seamlessly in the formal dining and living rooms, or retreat to the spectacular family room, boasting soaring cathedral ceilings and a dedicated full bathroom. This expansive space offers excellent flexibility and could easily serve as a luxurious main-floor primary suite. Upstairs, a large landing leads to two bright bedrooms, a convenient bonus room, and a second full bathroom with a soaking tub! Rest easy knowing that the high-ticket mechanicals have already been taken care of for you: the house roof is only 2 to 2.5 years old, the hot water heater is 2 years old, the efficient 5-zone furnace is 7-8 years old, and both chimneys have been upgraded with premium stainless steel liners. The crown jewel for creators, hobbyists, or entrepreneurs is the massive two-story detached barn. Previously utilized as an inspirational art studio, it is fully equipped with electricity, a metal roof, an oil hot-air furnace, workbenches, and two semi-finished rooms. High-speed Spectrum cable and internet are available, making it seamless to run a business, stream, or work from home. All of this sits on a lush, oversized village lot, offering rare privacy and outdoor space just up the street from Gilbertsville's historic downtown. The property is sold as-is (inspections for buyer informational purposes only; dining room hanging light fixture excluded). Bring your dreams and experience the magic of upstate village living!
