201 Main Street, Richfield

Description

Take a walk back in time and marvel at this ONE-OF-A-KIND, Queen Anne Victorian in Richfield Springs! A few miles to Canadarago Lake, a short drive to Cooperstown Village and Otsego Lake! Built in 1883, this home stands out proudly on Main Street. The interior and exterior craftsmanship does not disappoint! Newly painted exterior, intricate detailing, decorative features, steep gable roofs, expansive wrap around front porch, stained glass and gothic window details. Original woodwork throughout this home is STUNNING! Tall, beamed ceilings, arched doorways, three fireplaces, tiled hearths, wood mantels. The stairway leading up to the 3rd floor is a work of art! A 4th floor tower room. Period style lighting on every floor completes each room. As you enter the front doors, you will be immediately taken back in time! The double front doors and brass doorknobs are beautiful! To the right of the center hall is a formal living room. Spectacular features, heavy wood trim, french doors, traditional fireplace and a sparkling crystal chandelier. Towards the back of the house, you will find a handsome office with beamed wood ceilings, and a picture window looking out over the backyard. To the left of the center hall is a parlor with a tiled hearth fireplace. Passing through the formal dining room you will find another cozy fireplace and built in bookshelves. A walk-through pantry leads to the kitchen. All doors are heavy, wood paneled with original brass hinges and doorknobs! The exterior of this beauty has been maintained with love and appreciation; the interior does need some wall work, painting, and the wood floors could use a good sanding. The bathrooms and kitchen have been upgraded over the years, but one may choose to update again to modernize. Added to this well-manicured, spacious lot is a newer 2 car garage with walk up attic space for storage or could be renovated into an office space or apartment.
