83 Lake Street

This distinctive Cooperstown rambler is an excellent example of a true mid-century classic American home. Situated on over 6 acres near Otsego Lake and the Otesaga Hotel, this single-story brick home offers an open concept layout in a tranquil wooded setting. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a home office space, and a spacious stylish deck, this home is perfect for comfortable living and entertaining. Centered on an elegant living room with its handsome black brick hearth and doors to the inspired minimalist deck, the north wing offers 2 guest bedrooms, the home office, and a guest full bath. The primary suite at the end of the hall is a private retreat with its own bath, hall of closets and bedroom with doors onto that lovely deck. The formal dining room welcomes with bespoke red fabric wall treatments and a wall of glass looking out on to the wooded acreage. A well-designed kitchen with chef's dream peninsula, copious solid-surface counter space, and freshly painted glass-door cupboards is a joy. The spacious family dining space, with its own wall of glass windows, looks east towards the deck. Access to the deck from this room makes for easy seasonal outdoor living and adds to the overall charm this room engenders. A sunken family room, a library-themed guest bedroom, and yet another full bathroom plus a convenient laundry and storage room completes this wing of the home. The full basement provides ample storage, and there is more in the detached 2+-car garage off the paved private driveway. The wooded acreage is fantastic, creating that much-welcome sense of total privacy, and the yard has an invisible fence installed to protect your four-legged family members. This home is within walking distance of the Leatherstocking Golf Course and Otesaga Hotel, the Farmers' Museum and The Fenimore Art Museum. Close to the center of town and its shops, bars, and restaurants, and, of course, The Baseball Hall of Fame. Just up the road is the renowned Alice Busch Opera Theatre home of the Glimmerglass Festival. Ideally located does not do justice to the way this home is positioned in the world of Cooperstown, New York - it's close to everything. And yet, in this setting, you will feel a great sense of privacy.
