86 Elm StOneonta, NY, 13820

Motivated seller - big price adjustment. Old house charm with income options on a tree lined street just a short walk to downtown or the colleges. This lovely, friendly old home has sheltered a family and also welcomed students - it works well either way. The colorful exterior paint hints at the character you'll find inside. The staircase will wow you, but there's even more to love. Space and light are the stars here, along with high ceilings, vintage bullseye molding and pocket doors. The floor plan wanders upstairs, with three bedrooms to the front and a series of rooms off the back stairs, as well as a charming sleeping porch. Downstairs, there are covered porches to the front and rear, and a sun room that would be paradise for plant lovers. There's a redwood deck off the kitchen for sunny breakfasts and evening barbecues. Current owners have updated the kitchen, updated the bathrooms, and carefully maintained the systems in the straight, dry basement. The two story historic carriage house is in solid shape, confirmed by an engineer when sellers bought just a few years ago. They have had success with respectful students, and this summer can be your chance to decide what 86 Elm will be next. This house isn't a huge project. Cosmetics are needed and it's priced accordingly. This house is selling as is, it's been through an inspection and there were no huge red flags, and we're feeling just a bit envious of whoever gets to call it their home.
