Step into history with this gorgeous stately home, one of the two original residences on the historic Olcott Farm, set on just under 2 acres in the heart of Big Flats. Offering three levels of living space, this property blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates.
The spacious kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring heated floors, two pantries, a large island, and a unique built-in table/workspace that folds away to resemble cabinetry. The large living room showcases beautiful built-in bookshelves, adding warmth and charm. The kitchen flows into the dining room and living room.
Work-from-home flexibility is easy with two dedicated office spaces, each featuring built-in desks and shelving—one conveniently located on the first floor and another upstairs.
Throughout the home, you’ll find newer windows and elegant crown molding that enhance the classic character. The second-floor laundry room adds convenience, and the second-floor bathroom was fully updated in 2025 with a walk-in shower.
Comfort is ensured with multiple heating options, including steam heat, two-zone baseboard heat, and two mini-split systems providing air conditioning on the first floor and in the primary bedroom.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a 3-bay garage featuring second-floor storage, a barn with endless potential, workshop space, and a garden shed—perfect for hobbyists, storage, or future projects.
Major mechanical updates include a roof less than five years old, a recently replaced water heater, and a steam boiler approximately 15 years old that has been serviced annually.
This rare property offers space, history, and versatility in a prime Big Flats location.
