Built in 1870, this home has the kind of character that’s hard to find today, along with the updates that make it easy to live in now.
It all begins on the covered front porch, where slow mornings with coffee and quiet evenings watching the seasons change come naturally. The front yard offers a surprising sense of privacy, and out back, the 0.64-acre double lot gives you room to spread out, with plenty of peaceful spots to read, relax, or simply enjoy a private moment. A partially fenced backyard, patio and storage shed round out the outdoor space.
Step inside and the foyer sets the tone: high ceilings, beautiful trim, elegant crown molding, and hardwood floors in some rooms. Large, newer windows bring natural light into every space. The formal living room and spacious dining room are made for gathering, and the dining room flows into the updated kitchen, complete with an island. A first-floor laundry and full bath make everyday living easy.
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bath, plus charming window nooks at each end of the hallway, one big enough for a desk. The full basement can be reached from inside and through exterior bulkhead doors, and a full attic with pull-down stairs adds even more storage.
So many updates have been done! The furnace is just one year old, the kitchen and bathroom have been remodeled, some plumbing is new, and much more.
Skaneateles Falls offers a quiet, small-town hamlet setting in the Skaneateles School District, just minutes from the shops, restaurants and lakefront of the Village of Skaneateles and Skaneateles Lake. The Charlie Major Nature Trail along Skaneateles Creek is nearby, and Syracuse and Auburn are an easy drive away.
Charm like this doesn’t come along often. Schedule your showing today!
