Beautifully renovated residence offering a thoughtful blend of historic charm and modern updates that's even more beautiful in person than it looks online.
On a charming street, lined with historic homes and greenery, lies the enchanting 290 Main Street. With original wood floors, marble fireplaces, exposed beam ceilings, and other historic details, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Owego history that has been lovingly and professionally restored.
With four bedrooms + office, two full bathrooms, two living rooms, a formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, full basement, full attic, and detached garage, this home offers ample space for both everyday living and entertaining (and storage).
When you pull up to 290 Main Street, you're first greeted by the warm siding and trim color, the wrap-around porch with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a peek into the living room, and original front door with gorgeous details.
The first floor features the grand foyer with original staircase, spacious living and dining areas, kitchen, and a full bath with laundry. The second floor features a spacious landing with original built-in cabinetry, four bedrooms, the office, and the second full bath.
Favorite things about 290 Main Street: how the sunlight shines through the historic windows to create little pools of light in different rooms depending on the time of day, how you can turn on the second-floor light via a two-story pull string (with tassel) from the first-floor foyer, and how you can live with modern conveniences yet be surrounded by pieces of history in almost every room.
The location of 290 Main Street is truly unbeatable. Restaurants, coffee shops, pilates, yoga, shopping, and the Owego Riverwalk are just a short walk away.
Central heat makes adding central air conditioning a breeze.
Per State Farm, no flood insurance required. Seller offering a one-year home warranty.
Move-in-ready homes offering this level of renovation quality paired with historic detail (and without the typical flood zone concerns) are very rare.
