8 Strowbridge St, Trumansburg, NY 14886

Another rehabbed home by a master carpenter/artist in the village. This one will amaze you! It’s like buying a new home with all of the character of a classic village home. Upon entering, you are caught up in the gleaming solid maple floors that are throughout the downstairs, except for a small area featuring Travertine tile. The massive beam in the living room instantly tells you this home in unique! Beyond the living room, taking up the entire back of the house, is the most beautiful gourmet kitchen! This is a cook’s dream! Note the radiant floor heat. A beamed, tongue-and-groove vaulted ceiling creates a sense of warmth and spaciousness. There are solid cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and rich granite countertops with an island featuring butcher block for cooks to chop to their heart’s content. The eat-in area is bright and sunny with three walls of windows to let in the light. French doors open out to a deck. Around the corner is the laundry closet and a full bath with a vessel sea-glass-blue sink. Next to the bathroom is a den with refurbished French doors, but this can also second as a first-floor bedroom. A trip upstairs leads to three more bedrooms and another full bath. The master bedroom features a tongue-and-groove cathedral ceiling with a half-moon window. It's the perfect place to end your day. Not only is the house aesthetically beautiful, mechanically it’s completely new: all new plumbing, including a high-efficiency boiler with 5 zones; new 200-amp-service wiring; fully insulated using a soy-based spray foam throughout; double-pane, low-e windows throughout; and SIPS (structural insulated panels system). This house is extremely energy efficient.
