The Cardner House. This storybook 1840s Colonial rests on 25 serene acres featuring a constant brook & small waterfall, perennial gardens, hardwoods, walking trails, and abundant wildlife—ideal for hiking or hunting. As you approach the charming covered front porch, you can almost imagine someone handing you a glass of lemonade—it’s clear this is a home with a happy history. Nearly 50 years ago, the current owners fell in love with the property and lovingly undertook a years-long renovation, all while enjoying every inch of the land. Inside, you’re greeted by a stunning stone fireplace, original wood floors throughout, and a tin ceiling in the cozy living room. The home flows naturally from the living room into the family room, where built-in cabinetry and handsome oak pillars subtly define the space. Continue on to the generous dining room, then into the light-filled, front-to-back eat-in kitchen with beautiful views and direct access to the back deck and yard. At the rear of the home, a hallway leads to a powder room and a private studio/office featuring cathedral ceilings, a fireplace, and access to both front and back yards—ideal for creative work or quiet reflection. Upstairs, find two charming bedrooms (one with a fun sleeping loft), a full hall bath, and a spacious primary suite with cathedral ceiling, generous windows, and a beautifully updated bath with soaking tub and separate shower. Back downstairs, be sure to find time to relax or entertain on the large back deck where you can dine al fresco or nap to the soothing sounds of the waterfall. Across the quiet road, the 2-car garage includes a workshop and insulated second-story loft space with electrical and a Juliet balcony—perfect for finishing as a guest suite, studio, or retreat. Also, there is a road to access the acreage! Whether you’re looking for a year-round home or a weekend getaway, this peaceful retreat offers it all—just 6 miles to the Village of Cazenovia, 16 miles to I-81, and 30 miles to Syracuse and Hamilton.
