Thoughtfully built to last throughout a lifetime - this home has plenty of room for entertaining, enough space to handle extended family, as well as features needed to allow aging in place. One level living is possible, with laundry, bedrooms, office and baths on the main floor with the sunny kitchen, dining area next to the screened in porch, and soaring two story windows which open the living room space to the gorgeous views outside.. The lower level is finished & well insulated, with a large living room/media room, sliders to the outside, a full bath and bedroom as well as storage and a large workshop that could become more living space. And on the top floor, there's a walk up unfinished room that could become yet another living space. The home is tucked out of sight of a scenic secondary road just above the village of Franklin, and enjoys a feeling of privacy with long views. Beautiful mature gardens, flowering trees, a stone patio and two fenced gardens complete the picture. This home shows pride of ownership as well as real quality construction in a lovely setting handy to both Oneonta and its two colleges, I-88, and all the historical arts village of Franklin has to offer.
