About the property
Charming 1850 Cape Cod nestled in the Hamlet of Fly Creek, New York. The period front entrance, a portico, is typical for the cape cod style house. The architectural feature consists of a small roof extending over the front door. This portico is enclosed, as is seen in the north. The formal living room has built-ins and leads to a lovely covered, private exterior terrace trimmed in perennials and annuals. The formal dining room offers a period built-in and a corner hutch. The kitchen is bright and extends into a separate office space and an oversized mudroom with laundry, pantry and rear door to the gardens and back lawn.
A primary bedroom is on the main floor, with ample closet space. The first floor has the full bath with single sink and full tub/shower. The floors are original hardwood throughout. The second floor has two additional bedrooms with great closets. The potential for expansion on the second level is tremendous. A shed dormer to the north would allow for full bathroom.
