Property Description

Step back in time with this circa 1860 home located in the City of Cortland. Offering approximately 1900 square feet of living space, this three-bedroom, two and a half bath residence sits on a generous .288 acre lot rich in character and history. The main level features a large great room with a wood burning fireplace, hardwood flooring, a front room with ample shelving that creates the perfect setting for a home library or office, and an enclosed sun porch. The upstairs bedrooms are spacious with hardwood flooring in each room. The historic gazebo belongs to this Civil War-era estate once home to several prominent local figures, including Major General Levi R. Chase and surgeon Dr. John Edwards Wattenberg. While updates may be needed to bring it back to its original beauty, the home is fully functional as is. It presents a rare opportunity for investors or buyers looking for an affordable home that has tremendous potential. With vision, creativity, and updates, this home is truly a unique space waiting for your personal touch. Property was inherited and is being sold as is.
