About the property
Only three miles west of Cooperstown, New York, lies the hamlet of Toddsville, whose history is closely connected to Cooperstown. Judge William Cooper, the founder of Cooperstown, once owned the land called Coopers Mills. Toddsville was a thriving mill town. The family responsible for Toddsville and its mills was the Todd family. This house dates back to the mid-1800s and was built by Zira Todd in 1828. Their home remained in the family for several generations and was gifted to the current owner several years ago, as lifelong family friends. The home was recently renovated, with extremely careful workmanship to preserve as much as possible, with attention to detail. The original wide pine floors, six over six windows (with interior storms), and plaster walls remain. Local contractors replaced metal roofs, updated the electric and plumbing throughout. The kitchen is open, roomy and eat-in, with a large pantry/laundry off.
The dining room, with an abundance of natural light, could certainly entertain ten for dinner. The living room, which could easily accommodate a vaulted ceiling, leads to the spacious backyard overlooking and bordering Oaks Creek. On the north side of the first floor is a large primary bedroom with a “Jack & Jill” three-quarter bath. Upstairs, there are three additional bedrooms, ample closets, and a full bath. The detached oversized garage could connect with a breezeway. This home has been updated with all new appliances, Whirlpool and GE. Minutes to all the amenities of the village of Cooperstown, with Otsego Lake, museums, restaurants, and shops. Extremely inviting, move-in ready, and in the Cooperstown School District.
