If you love houses that feel like a warm hug, this 1889 farmhouse in Sterling is exactly what you’ve been looking for. It sits on over nine acres of beautiful, park-like land that is so peaceful you’ll never want to leave. For years, this home was used as a successful Bed and Breakfast, and you can really feel that welcoming spirit the moment you walk through the door. The setting is just perfect. You are a very short trip away from Fair Haven State Park and the beach, but when you are home, you have all the privacy in the world. The yard is beautifully landscaped and features a large deck where you can sit and watch the local wildlife while you drink your morning coffee.
Inside, the heart of the home is the big eat-in kitchen. It has plenty of counter space for baking and a wonderful wood stove that keeps the whole place toasty and warm during the snowy New York winters. There is also a formal dining room right off the kitchen, which is great for those big Sunday dinners with friends and family. With five bedrooms, there is plenty of space for everyone. The house has a solid, sturdy feel that only these 1800s homes have, yet it’s been kept in great shape. It’s the kind of place where you can really slow down and enjoy a simpler way of life.
One of the best parts of this property is the massive outbuilding. It has plenty of room for your cars, so you won’t have to brush snow off them in the morning. Even better, the building has a second level with a huge amount of storage or space that you could finish into an art studio, a workshop, or even a guest cottage. Because the land has frontage on two different roads, there is also a lot of potential to grow or develop the property in the future. Whether you want to start your own mini-farm or just enjoy the wide-open space, this 1889 beauty is a rare find in a perfect location.
