Welcome to Averill Cottage, a premier historic residence on 2.2 acres with 200 feet of direct lake frontage, located in the heart of the village of Cooperstown. The sweeping back lawn, with panoramic views of Lake Otsego, provides a park-like setting for your enjoyment. Only a handful of homes located within the village provide lake frontage and access. Stone walls with fencing separate the house from Lake Street and lend access to the front covered porch. Entering the front foyer, with the living room to the left and a guest suite to the right and a graceful original stairway to the second floor, immediately brings you into the charm of the home. The stately living room has  an archway entrance  to the dining  room with a  door to a patio, again with stunning lake views. There are working wood burning fireplaces in the dining and living rooms. The spacious kitchen/family room, with tiled island, has a dining area large enough for family and guests to enjoy. The wood burning insert in the fireplace adds coziness to the area. Doors from the family room lead to a large deck with a covered porch, providing easy access for outdoor entertaining. A back staircase from the kitchen leads to the second floor. To complete the first floor, there is a powder room plus a laundry room with built-in storage cabinetry. The second floor has four bedrooms: the master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, wood floors, a fireplace and lake views. In addition, there are two other bedrooms with en suite baths, another bedroom and a hall guest bath. The guest suite, which leads from the first floor foyer, has a living room with fireplace, kitchenette and bedroom with bath. The guest suite kitchen leads to a covered porch. A two-car attached garage provides easy access to the house; space for a third vehicle is located in a separate area of the basement. One of the two oldest homes within the village of Cooperstown, this property offers a prime village setting, while also providing a sense of privacy.

The manager has listed the unit size as 5000 square feet.
