Overview
You’re invited to come explore this beautiful historic Craftsman home located in the picturesque Village of Walton. This well-maintained four-bedroom, two-bath residence was built in 1912 for the birth of prominent local attorney, William Fancher. It sits on a generous 0.25-acre lot, and offers a perfect blend of classic elegance and modern convenience. With 1, 680 sf of living space, this home boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere with original hardwood floors and incredible oak woodwork throughout including a lovely built-in linen cabinet on the second floor landing. The modern kitchen features stainless steel appliances and recessed lighting, and opens to a formal dining room and living room with gas fireplace. All four spacious bedrooms are located on the second level, providing ample privacy. One even has an enclosed walk out porch. Both full bathrooms (one on each floor) are thoughtfully designed and updated. The third-floor attic awaits your creativity with new sheet-rock, upgraded electric and the potential to become an incredible master suite and sitting area. The full basement includes a bluestone floor, a 10-year-old Utica boiler, 2-year old hot water tank and a 10x10 storage room. This property is connected to municipal water, sewer and natural gas. The electric has been upgraded to a 200 amp service. Enjoy the privacy of the rear yard, perfect for outdoor activities or relax on the side deck. Most importantly, adding to the property’s charm, is a HISTORIC CARRIAGE HOUSE (26x40), built in the 1880s that sets dog-leg right from the main house. This structure has been meticulously maintained, with a new metal roof installed 10 years ago, upgraded electric, and new rafters. It maintains much of its original woodwork, including sliding stall doors, grain shoot and an incredible cupola. Climb the steps to the top for an incredible bird’s-eye view of the village! The carriage barn once housed servants and livestock, and with a little imagination would make a remarkable guest cottage.

Situated on a quiet street, this home offers walking distance to downtown, historic movie theater, and restaurants and with high-speed internet access, ideal for remote work or streaming.
