Carry on the legacy of this rare, expansive Victorian with preserved original features in the village of Stamford. The home maintains original details including its grand columned facade, impressive porte-cochère, a gorgeous bay window with decorative glass, and original woodwork and floors. Yellow and white striped metal awnings add to the home's unique character. With updated bathrooms and kitchen, this home is move-in ready to enjoy exactly as it is... or to continue the restoration with a little more work. The wraparound porch transports you to a time when things moved slower, tea was sipped, and the mountain breeze kept you cool while you chatted with neighbors passing by. The large reception room invites you in with decorative wood floors and a beautiful wood staircase. The centerpiece of the first floor is the living room with its warm wood coffered ceiling, fireplace, large windows, built-in bookcase, and decorative columns that transition into the elegant dining room. A large updated kitchen, cozy breakfast nook, powder room, and laundry room with extra storage round out this floor. On the way upstairs, take a moment at the bay window settee to appreciate the craftsmanship and history of this home. On the second floor are four large and sunny bedrooms as well as two updated full bathrooms. At the end of the hall, an enclosed balcony makes a great three season sunroom. The third floor has four more rooms with potential - if you need even more space. The lot itself is large and flat with an ample side yard that might be a great place for an inground pool or garden. Behind the house are two garages - one a solid Morton building with space for multiple cars and another wood frame structure that could make a great workshop with some work. The current owner has helped preserve the home with key improvements including: a new roof, updated bathrooms, new kitchen appliances, freshly painted exterior, new sewer line, electric upgrade to 200 amps, new sheetrock in rooms (as needed), and much more. Set on a quiet block in the village of Stamford - known as the Queen of the Catskills - enjoy mountain views from your front porch, as well as proximity to the 22 mile Catskills Scenic Rail Trail, the Trailways bus stop to NYC, and the amazing shops in town. You'll also be about 30 mins to three ski mountains and a 2.5 hour drive to the GW Bridge in NYC.
