This old house looks much the same as it did in 1991, when Pam often admired it while driving between Cooperstown and Oneonta.  It was wanting some TLC, but had character and charm even then. 

Already designated as a two-family dwelling when its picture appeared on Realtor.com early in 2005, the 2200 sq. ft. house has much potential to be renovated as an income producing property.  It is also zoned for business.  Most important, it combines the attributes of an old, stately home and a casual country getaway, creating a lovely, restful, historically intriguing place to stay.  And such a place is meant to be shared!

Located on the banks of a major waterway, this old place also offers an opportunity for educating visitors about natural resources and the importance of protecting them.  Regional history and popular sports may draw many families to this area.  If even a few of them leave with greater appreciation for water and wildlife habitat conservation, the message can be spread and ideas for active support will be implanted in other communities.
