New washer and dryer (never used), New windows and doors (with the exception of original porch windows), New recessed lighting, sconces, and ceiling fixtures, New tile flooring in kitchen and bathrooms, Fresh interior paint throughout (Sherwin Williams), Basement sealed and painted with waterproof coating.
A wide back hallway offers flexible space for storage, mudroom potential, or creative use.
Outside, the home continues to shine with newly planted perennials, evergreen landscaping, a reseeded lawn, and a classic lilac bush.
Adding to its uniqueness, the property also features an original root cellar tucked into the hillside behind the home—a nod to its history and a rare find. Please note, this house is not in the FEMA flood map zone.
If you’ve been searching for a home that pairs vintage soul with modern reliability, this Worcester cottage delivers. 20 minutes to Oneonta, 25 Minutes to Cooperstown, 1 Hour to Albany, 3 Hours to GWB...
