Nestled on five acres on a quiet country road, this picturesque, charming, and beautifully updated farmhouse from 1865 offers the perfect blend of country character and modern convenience. This spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom home features numerous recent significant improvements, including brand new washer and dryer, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The renovated kitchen has a granite countertop and the renovated bathroom has a vintage lion’s foot tub. New plumbing has been installed in both kitchen and bathroom. Original pocket doors between dining and living rooms, stained-glass-topped picture windows, and much original woodwork harken back to days of old. The original hardwood floors have been restored. The basement has a new hot water heater and a new water filtration system. The attic has been fully finished—knotty pine covers new spray foam insulation, while new screened casement windows and new baseboard heaters make this unique space ideal for game night or landscape viewing. The living area has a home theatre (with ceiling-mounted projector and pull-down screen) and a pellet stove that adds a warm cozy glow to the sunlit space. A separate room is dedicated to a bar-sized slate pool table, providing relaxing fun for family and friends. Additional improvements include a new metal roof over the porch, a reinforced foundation wall on the northeast side of the house, and upgraded 200-amp electrical service. There are other buildings on the property: a two-car garage, a traditional barn and milkhouse from the 1800s, and a pole barn. Relax with sunsets on the porch and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Hear the stream that runs along the property, birds at your feeders, and distant nickering from neighbors’ horse stables. With no street lights, stargazing is amazing! The property is located three hours from New York City, 11 minutes from Sidney’s Price Chopper supermarket, and 12 minutes from Gilbertsville’s excellent Five Kids Bakehouse. Ideal as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, Airbnb, or country getaway.
