Greek Revival Farmhouse Re-creation with Horse Barn
This impeccable 4 BR, 2 1/2 bath home rose from the ashes in the gorgeous Middlefield countryside twenty years ago, but looks as if it's been there forever. A loving recreation of the Greek Revival farmhouse that was lost in a fire, Pequa (sellers say it's an Iroquois word meaning "phoenix") is a newer home that has all the charm of an old house without any of the issues. No system is older than twenty years, and many have been updated since. Shaded by stately old trees, the bright and inviting rooms inside are spacious and full of charm. Every detail has been meticulously considered: six over six wooden windows, a period correct front door, pantries and woodwork all feel like a step back in time. But those windows have high E glass, the home has underfloor radiant heat below Avantek flooring with "quiet walk" padding, two and a half modern bathrooms, and a huge, finished walk out basement with a full bar, a media space, and a secure room. Outside is a deck that runs the length of the house, a charming front porch shaded by a stately maple, and 20+ acres of meadow and woodland that border the Cherry Valley Creek but without flood risk to the buildings. A four-plus stall horse barn w/water & tack room has an outdoor run in and fenced fields and hay loft that holds up to 1000 bales. This well loved home just 15 minutes to Cooperstown, right outside the hamlet of Middlefield and down the road from historic Cherry Valley, is a true one of a kind and a remarkable value for money. Additional 8+ ac across the street, ensuring privacy, is available for $30K.
