Step into a slice of Gilded Age grandeur with this 1899 stone Victorian perched across from Union College. Spanning over 3,400 square feet, this architectural gem is bursting with original charm—coffered ceilings, cherry hardwoods, intricate woodwork, pocket doors, stained glass windows, hidden staircases, and multiple fireplaces all await revival.

The gracious wraparound stone porch sets the tone for what lies inside: five spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a butler’s pantry, and a second-floor patio with sweeping views over campus greens. The stone portico shelters a paved drive that leads to a generous backyard and a detached garage with a full second-story bonus space—ideal for a future studio, guest suite, or private retreat.

Yes, it needs TLC, but with the right vision, this home could be a showstopper. Restore it, reimagine it, and make it shine once more.
