GREAT location in the village of Hamilton, close to the village green where there is a seasonal weekly farmers market and, in the summer, concerts on the green, also convenient to the town library, restaurants and stores, including the historic Colgate Inn. Hamilton is the home of the liberal arts college, Colgate University, which is about a mile down the road. This post & beam home at 19 Payne was built around 1832 and has been in this same family for decades. Beautiful wood floors throughout, eat-in kitchen updated with custom cabinetry, stunning library/den with lovely wood built-ins and fireplace, formal dining room, living room/parlor with decorative mantle, 3 comfortably sized bedrooms on second floor, upstairs "family/tv" room which could potentially be a 4th bedroom, plus a bonus room ... small study/home office. Full bath/laundry combo on first floor, one and a half baths on second floor. Yard is flag shaped with fenced in garden area in the back, and a gardening/tool shed. Patio access is from the kitchen and it is surrounded by beautiful perennial flowerbeds. This house has been well loved!
