Greater Binghamton, New York: New York: Binghamton

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.

Come celebrate First Friday in downtown Binghamton, New York this week on April 2nd. This exciting First Friday Art Walk event, held rain or shine, is THE place to be every month as we come out, mingle and explore the art world of local artists here in the Southern Tier.

This month's event is a special one as a silent auction will be held to benfit the victims of the Haitian earthquake. The Binghamton Helping Haiti Heal event features the silent auction as well as local bands to provide a festive atmosphere. Held in the center of the Art Walk on State Street, sponsors are asking for a five dollar donation to get you in the door. All proceeds will be forwarded to the Catholic Relief Services Haiti Relief Fund. The event will be held during the regular hours of the First Night Art Walk which is from six to nine o'clock pm.

   First Friday Art Walks began a few years ago, in 2004, to add a taste of SoHo here in our own backyard. With so much local talent, this event provides a wonderful venue for artists to showcase their works and get recognized. Local shops remain open later than usual providing free finger food, music and beverages.

   Access to theater shows, fine and casual dining, music, free food and wine, gallery-hopping, specialy shops and museums, sets the stage for a wonderful and inexpensive, if not free, way to spend one Friday a month.
