Bring your vision to this distinctive Victorian home and create something truly extraordinary. Set on an oversized lot in a highly sought-after Skaneateles location, this property offers a rare opportunity to restore a historic home to its former glory—or reimagine it as a stunning custom residence.
The home has been gutted, with renovation work already underway, offering a blank canvas for the next owner. Architectural renderings are available to help envision the property’s transformation. Whether your dream is a thoughtful historic restoration or a completely reimagined masterpiece, the possibilities are exceptional.
The expansive lot provides plenty of room for gardens, outdoor entertaining, additional landscaping, and future expansion. A detached garage adds valuable flexibility and storage.
Ideally located near sought-after semi-private water access, this property offers the opportunity to enjoy the unique lifestyle and charm that make Skaneateles so desirable.
A property with character, scale, location, and endless potential—ready for someone with the vision to bring it back to life.
