217 Walters Way, Richfield Springs, NY 13439

Set atop a rise and surrounded by 16.43 acres of open land and mature trees, this residence offers privacy alongside long-range views of hills and a distant lake. A gated driveway winds past farmland to the house, which sits framed by woods and open sky. Hardwood trim, a stone foundation, and a massive fireplace speak to the home's craftsmanship and its good bones will support your renovation vision. Porches and decks look out over the landscape, while stone walls, perennial gardens, and connected stairways shape the grounds, leading to a small spring-fed lake stocked with bass. Inside, skylights and tall windows bring in natural light over wide-plank floors and exposed beams. The eat-in kitchen opens to the living spaces and connects to a breakfast room, which adjoins a family room with a cathedral ceiling and fireplace. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a foyer, and first-floor laundry complete the floor plan. Additional structures--including a detached garage with workshop, a studio or possible apartment, and multiple sheds--sit discreetly on the property. A stone and gravel turnaround driveway provides parking for four vehicles. The defining qualities of this estate are its expansive setting, profound quiet, and complete privacy--offering a rare opportunity to enjoy a spacious, comfortable home deeply connected to its natural surroundings only minutes from shopping and 20 minutes to Bassett Medical and everything Cooperstown has to offer.
