COOPERSTOWN LANDMARK
At A New Price! 

One of Cooperstown’s favorite properties. Built in 1825, and locally still known as The Crooked House, even after a previous significant lean of the building that has been corrected at the base of the house. A Greek Revival style home that has been tastefully and carefully renovated while maintaining original details and character. New wiring, plumbing and heating within the last several years. The exterior of the home was totally resided and painted in 2021. The house was also insulated at that time. New asphalt single roofs on house and detached garage. Custom made storms and new shutters on the entire house made by a local craftsman. Some doors, including the unique front Dutch door, have been restored. A local window specialist has done extensive restoration on the original windows so all now open and close. There is a charming hallway entry done in period wallpaper. Double living rooms: 16’9″x 15’2″ and 18’x13′ with walls of bookshelves. The dining room has a wood-burning fireplace and access to the covered patio. There is also a useful large walk-in closet for storage of service items. Three/four bedrooms, a 3 1/2 baths. The kitchen, with access to the covered patio, has new countertops and all new appliances except the outstanding 5 burner gas stove with chrome and brass fittings.
