    A piece of Syracuse history, ready for its next chapter. Built in 1840, the Oliver Bostwick House at 1940-1942 Valley Dr is a remarkable cobblestone estate offering 4,188 square feet of living space on 3.61 acres overlooking Webster Pond. Constructed with locally sourced fieldstone and walls approximately two feet thick, this nearly 200-year-old home is a rare example of the craftsmanship & character of another era. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths plus a half bath, two living rooms, 2 woodburning fireplaces, a dedicated office, first-floor laundry, full basement and two screened front porches. A separate 2 bedroom, 1 bath in-law house with its own utilities provides tremendous flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, home office or studio space. Outside is where this property becomes truly extraordinary. An approximately 100' x 40' barn with stone foundation offers incredible storage, workshop and hobby possibilities, with significant structural improvements and a newer roof (2106). A separate 20' x 20' smokehouse/outbuilding, previously used as part of the owners' maple syrup production, adds even more character and utility. The 3.61 acre setting includes open lawn, wooded areas, extensive fenced garden space and a backdrop of Forever Wild land, creating a setting that feels remarkably private while remaining within the City of Syracuse. Originally part of a much larger working farm, the property has evolved through generations, including ties to local Prohibition era bootlegging history. Today, it offers an opportunity rarely found: preserve an extraordinary historic residence, create a multigenerational estate, garden, make maple syrup/honey, utilize the massive barn, or simply enjoy acreage and nature overlooking Webster Pond. 1940-1942 Valley Drive is more than a home. It is nearly two centuries of Syracuse history with room for its next owner to write the next chapter. Will it be yours?!
