Beautiful circa 1850’s farmhouse in 7.4 acres in the desirable award winning Canajoharie School District in Canajoharie,NY. This farmhouse sits about halfway between Cooperstown,NY where the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum is, and Saratoga,NY where the horse racing is. A 3 hour drive to Manhattan, a 1 hour drive to the beautiful Adirondack Mountains. Home has been carefully remodeled by local Amish including some modern upgrades while still keeping the historical integrity of the home. This home has had 4 generations of the well known Knox family born here. The same who invented Knox Gelatin and had the Historic Knox Mansion in Johnstown. This home currently has an application in for its own historical marker to preserve its history. The home features new windows, new heater and hot water heater in 2014, new drilled well, the back half of the house couldn’t be saved and was torn down and completely rebuilt keeping the same footprint and window/door configurations. Also most of the original wide plank floors were refinished along with new electric, and new plumbing. New sheet rock in 90% of the home. Part of 2nd floor overlooks kitchen/eating area with stone fireplace w/back oak spiral staircase and hand hewn beams throughout. There are 4-5 bedrooms, a downstairs office or 6th bedroom, great room with a pellet stove, formal living room, parlour, large kitchen with open dining room featuring a huge 1 piece granite island, granite countertops and sink, stainless appliances. There are 3 full bathrooms and laundry on the 2nd floor. Approximately 6 of the acres are currently being farmed for hay and still could be with the current farmer or you can do it yourself. There is a side yard that was previously leveled off and tiled for a large barn or garage to be built. There is a 9 x 18 covered porch and a 16 x 32 newly built deck in the rear. This home has not been lived in since the remodel…….Truly a must see home! Taxes are $5,400 with ag exception that you can keep if the current farmer keeps making the hay.
