The magnificent yellow brick Italianate Victorian, set on a private estate-like acre of land in the heart of the Village of Cooperstown, was built in 1864 by Cooperstown Bank President Jedidiah P. Sill. Its architecturally significant original elements, together with what has been noted in numerous publications as one of the "finest Victorian restorations on the east coast", has landed it on both the state and national historic registers. Original details are found throughout the home, including detailed moldings, heart of pine floors, feather grained woodwork, marble fireplaces, French doors and period lighting fixtures. Complementing the original character, the house has been totally updated with a gourmet kitchen, master bath suite and additional new bathrooms, generous closet and storage space, central air, an attached two car garage and finished basement. The interior flows fabulously for entertaining yet retains intimate spaces for reflection and retreat. The house includes three private porches with original latticework looking over tree shaded lawns, with towering maples as old as the house, lush landscaping and beautiful flower beds surrounding the house. Adding to the desirability of the estate, the property includes the original Carriage House, which has been converted to two 900+ sq. foot fully equipped and well appointed two bedroom apartments with separate driveway access and parking, while keeping the original exterior architectural details and character virtually intact. A circular drive to the portico of the main house welcomes all to this one of a kind village home which has been faithfully preserved yet fully updated for modern living and enjoyment.
