Greater Binghamton, New York: June 2010

This historic Italianate home for sale on Binghamton's West Side has all the charm you would expect in a period home. Dubbed "Snow's Folly" by the neighbors of the original owner, folks thought it funny that someone would build a home so far from the center of Binghamton at the turn of the century! Eventually, the city grew up around the home and the West Side is considered to be the center of Binghamton.

This 4 bedroom, 2 full bath historic Italianate home is in excellent condition and a home inspection report is available to see. Characteristic to the period are details such as variable plank flooring throughout, grand staircase, dentil moldings and built-in cabinets. Step back in time in a home that has been lovingly decorated in time with the period.

This historic Italianate home also has many modern features as well, such as cherry cabinets, brand new 200 amp electric service, newer concrete driveway and newer high efficiency furnace. The owners have also installed an inline charcoal water filtration system.

The beautiful grand staircase leads to the second floor where you will find 4 large bedrooms, a full bathroom with the original claw foot bathtub and 2 small bonus rooms. A second staircase will take you back down to the kitchen.

The fenced yard is perfect for the small gardener, boasting lovely perennials and the perfect spot for your home-grown veggies. The yard is completed by the 2 sheds and small koi pond overlooked by the covered deck.

Offered at $177,500 this home is ready to move into today. Call, text 607-237-4526 or email me at JenArbach@HouseBMine.com for a private showing. Visit my website www.HouseBMine.com for more information and photos.
