This affordable WATERFRONT cottage has been used for a year round home. Comfortable living with one bedroom, electric heat, open concept kitchen and living room combo. Enclosed porch and covered patio, both overlooking the scenic and historic Susquehanna River, home of the famous 70 mile General Clinton Canoe Regatta starting in Cooperstown ending in nearby Bainbridge. Artistically landscaped steps and walls using local bluestone adding to the peaceful, scenic and inspiring setting here! Many substantial renovations including new electric, plumbing, new kitchen appliances and counter tops, new block foundation with sliding door for walk out basement area and more. Very nice roadside two story barn/garage with plenty of storage space. Separate buildings include garden/utility shed by the river and finished studio building with sliding door near the main house. New floating dock is in and ready to launch canoes and kayaks! Beautiful terraced yard space large enough to build one or two rental cabins for guests. Located just 15 minutes to the City of Oneonta for colleges, hospitals, restaurants, shopping, arts and entertainment. So much opportunity with this nice riverfront property!
