ONCE UPON A TIME & ONCE IN A LIFETIME! Picturesque Fly Creek Setting Offering Circa 1850 Eyebrow Colonial Home, Post & Beam Barn, Stocked Pond, 8+/-Acres, Stunning Vistas with Optional 10+/- Acres. A beloved property by only three proprietors since 1840, the first of record was the Cheney family, holding the property for nearly 100 years, while the home then served as an Inn along the new Turnpike, to which the location resulted from an approval by Judge William Cooper, who recognized Joseph Cheney as an enterprising individual in the community and allowed the turnpike location near his Inn. Rumor has it Amelia Earhart once stayed at this Inn, as she gave flying lessons nearby. The third and current owner has adored this property for 75 years highlighting the kitchen with vintage Youngstown sink & cabinets and an early American Glenwood cast iron stove, adding a living room fireplace and converting the original woodshed into a family room with an antique Cottage Andes woodstove & restored barn boards, also refinishing, restoring and keeping as much of the history as possible, including wide pine flooring, doors and latches, along with an extensive barn restoration. Now waiting for the fourth holder to be put down on record and to embrace and appreciate the rich sensitive past that has adored this truly exquisite homestead with it's perfect proximity to Cooperstown.
