Located 2.5 miles from Bassett Hospital and Cooperstown schools, this 1850s era Victorian farmhouse sits on 4+ acres in the town of Middlefield on County Road 33. This 4-5 bedroom, 2 full bath house has many nice features, lots of character, and loads of charm. The original portion of the house has wide-plank pine flooring with some oak flooring upstairs. The first floor of this original part of the house contains a formal dining room, bathroom, and a parlor room which can be used as an office, den or 5th bedroom and has original pressed tin ceiling. The bathroom has a shower and new Bosch high-efficiency washer and gas dryer. Under the original house is a stacked stone basement. The sunny, eat-in kitchen, which has a Thermador gas stove and newer refrigerator, opens out to a small deck off the back of the house. The kitchen also leads into a 24 x 25 family room with vaulted ceilings, Jotul woodburning stove and built-in cabinetry along one wall. The kitchen and family room have pine floors. There is also a bedroom on the first floor. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms. The 12 x 17 master bedroom has a bonus room or large walk-in closet off it. One of the bedrooms has a trap-door leading to attic space for storage. There is also a large bathroom with a clawfoot tub. All trim and paneled doors are original chestnut. The 30 x 36 post-and-beam barn is in great working condition. The siding was recently replaced as was the new metal roof and some horizontal sills along the foundation. It is one of a handful of barns in the area with a 45 pitch, characteristic of a barn constructed during that era. Current owners have used the barn to house chickens, turkeys and sheep. Complete with hayloft, the barn is fully wired and has water pumped from the house. There are mature blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, elderberry and gooseberry bushes, in addition to an animal-proof 20 x 20 fenced-in vegetable garden ready to plant. Hop plants are ready for home brewing. There are many producing mature apple trees as well as young fruit trees. Stacked rock terraced walls hold established perennial beds near the house. Rail fences divide the farm from the yard and create a corral that currently holds sheep in the winter. The hill behind the house provides beautiful views of Red Creek Valley and the hills beyond.
