Beautiful stone center hall French Colonial home one mile from Gilbertsville with a rich and colorful history and some unique architectural features. Built in 1832, This house has 7 original fireplaces, a matching stone smoke house, a well house and a 30 x 40, 3 story barn (also built about 1832), all set on just over 6 acres. The farm was home to the Thorpe family for over 130 years and was built by Edward Thorp, a driving force in the erection of the Gilbertsville Academy. The home was also the birthplace of Henry Thorp, member of the NYS legislature in 1874 and possibly Willard Thorp, distinguished professor of Victorian Literature at Princeton University. If you are looking for a period manor house, look no further. The house needs some updating and will need a new roof in the not too distant future. The barn needs a beam replaced or re-supported. Windows are original. The place is livable as is, but could use some upgrades to bring out maximum value. Fortunately, the seller is leaving plenty of meat on the bone for value by pricing the house with the assumption that it is imperfect. This is easily a $400,000 piece of property in restored condition, being offered in current condition at $179,900.00. Owner is licensed Associate Broker.
