A truly spectacular residence nestled in the heart of the quaint Fingerlakes region, situated between Owasco and Cayuga Lakes. This exceptionally constructed historic home which was once part of Harriet Tubman’s Underground Railroad, has been painstakingly restored to historical specifications and tastefully updated with modern amenities for today’s lifestyle.

The antique house has one and one half foot thick walls of fieldstone with a facia of cobblestones. All floors are refinished original black chestnut, maple and pine. Lovely detailed woodwork and scroll work step detail throughout.

Four bedrooms; master has fireplace and separate sitting room; one guest bedroom has fireplace. Two baths with updated ceramic tile. Formal living room with fireplace. Gorgeous eat-in country kitchen with Heartland reproduction stove and MacKenzie Childs knobs on all cabinetry. Family room with walk–in fireplace and exposed beam ceiling opens to spectacular 700 square foot garden room with wall of windows and cathedral ceilings. French doors open to 40’ covered porch on one end and private brick patio courtyard at back of house.

Two driveways, each with a 2-car attached garage. Old gambrel roofed barn and a new 2-story barn which serves as a woodworkers studio.

This house sits on 3.1 pastoral acres in a park-like setting with many mature pines, flowering trees, shrubs and gardens. This is an extraordinary home which is located 7 miles to Aurora, home of the famous MacKenzie Childs, 15 miles to Skaneateles, 25 miles to Ithaca, 35 miles to Syracuse, and 50 miles to Rochester.
