Elevated above the Village of Cooperstown, this custom-built 1986 Colonial offers a peaceful hillside setting across 1.43 surveyed acres, surrounded by a lush lawn and beautifully maintained perennials. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously constructed by the current owners, the home has been cherished for decades, where seasons unfold outside expansive windows and life has been lived with warmth, grace, and intention. Inside, 2,866 square feet of beautifully composed living space balances comfort with enduring craftsmanship. Many windows throughout the home flood the interiors with natural light, illuminating oak floors and custom cabinetry that defines the sunlit kitchen, designed to accommodate both everyday living and elegant entertaining. The inviting breakfast nook with a bay window overlooks the backyard, offering a peaceful setting for morning coffee. The main level continues to flow effortlessly from a formal dining room and gracious living room-ideal for gatherings, both intimate and celebratory. At the heart of the home is an inviting, open family room that serves as a wonderful centerpiece of the living space. The room is anchored by a propane stove and features custom-built bookshelves that flank the woodstove, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Sliding glass doors open directly from this space onto an elevated deck and stone patio with a propane firepit, seamlessly extending daily living outdoors and creating a natural backdrop for summer evenings and seasonal entertaining. A private study/office perfect for quiet reflection or work-from-home ease, plus a convenient 1/2 bath with laundry, enhances first-floor functionality. Upstairs, a spacious landing introduces the private quarters. The very large primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and 3/4 bath. Three additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, each with ample closet space, and are complemented by a full second-floor bathroom, providing comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. The finished basement expands the home's versatility and is currently appointed as a media room and game room-an ideal retreat for movie nights, recreation, or hosting friends and family. An attached 2-car garage and a large shed offer abundant storage and everyday convenience, while thoughtful updates-including a Navien heating and hot water system, washer & dryer, gas stove, roof, deck, and patio, a repaved drive, and new sliders-ensure peace of mind. The location offers exceptional convenience. A short walk leads to Bassett Medical Center and Clark's Sports Center, while the village, though a slightly longer stroll, is entirely walkable, placing its unique shops, restaurants, and year-round Farmers Market, the iconic National Baseball Hall of Fame, within easy reach,anchors a community that is celebrated for its heritage. Beyond the village streets, Otsego Lake, affectionately known as the Glimmerglass, beckons with boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. The scenic fairways of Leatherstocking Golf Course trace the lake's edge, while the cultural richness of the Fenimore Art Museum and the acclaimed Glimmerglass Festival elevate the area's artistic landscape. Glimmerglass State Park invites outdoor enthusiasts to explore its hiking trails, bike paths, fishing areas, picnic areas, a beach, and seasonal events. Rarely does a home offer such a harmonious balance of privacy, provenance, and proximity. From the sunlit living spaces and breakfast nook overlooking the backyard to the warm family room opening onto the deck and patio, the entertainment-ready lower level, and the serene second-floor retreat, this hillside Colonial stands as a distinguished Cooperstown residence ready to welcome its next chapter.
