Stonewood Cottage

Welcome to Stonewood.  Built in 1924 by a local contractor, this English style stone cottage sits on 16+ private acres high above Otsego Lake.  Built with stones believed to be taken from walls on the property, this delightful home offers some 2,000 square feet of living space.  The great room has a vaulted ceiling of timbers and planks as well as a stone fireplace complete with pot hook.  Double doors lead to the kitchen with its custom cabinets, mostly open shelving, stone wall and windowed walls offering glorious views of the lake.  Doors lead to a large sitting deck.  A wing off the great room offers a private bedroom with half bath.  Another wing offers a bedroom and full tiled bath. The third wing enters a mudroom/laundry with outside entrance and the private master suite with cushioned windowseat and full tiled bath. Floors are hardwood, windows are 6/l and the original hand forged wrought iron hardware is intact.  The house is fully applianced. Systems are recently updated.  Around the intricate outside stone walls are several appealing grotto like areas.  Across the lawn is a two story garage with a heated office at one end.  Upstairs is a private guest quarters with a full bath with soaking tub as well as a kitchenette area.  There is a private deck which looks out through the pretty woods.  Lovely old stained glass windows are in place here.  Across the back lawn is a stone gazebo for picnicking and lake watching.  Unencumbered views of Otsego Lake as well as the magical private setting make this one of the most unique properties to come on the market in a long while.  Considered one of the “important properties” of our region, we are delighted to be offering it for sale and would be happy to schedule  a private showing.
