About this property

Sampson House: historic town home, close to shops

*Walk to downtown Penn Yan
*Fireplace
*Fenced in backyard

After a day of wine tasting, hiking, swimming, kayaking and sightseeing, return to this relaxing, home away from home. The interior features original woodwork, hardwood floors, and comfortable furnishings. A cozy gas fireplace and multiple seating areas make the living room extra inviting. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals at home. A favorite spot for morning coffee, or an evening bottle of wine, is the charming breakfast nook just off of the kitchen.

A formal dining room seats six. Overlooking the fenced backyard and neighboring horse pasture, the three-season enclosed back porch has a high-top table for casual dining, and seating for entertaining. Enjoy al fresco dining on the patio, with a gas grill and a propane fire pit table. The covered front porch is a perfect place to read, enjoy a gentle rain, or observe village life around Main St. There is a small half bath located on the main floor.

Upstairs the Primary Bedroom has a Queen size bed, Bedroom 2 has a Double bed, and Bedroom 3 has a Queen. The full bath is located on the second floor and has a tub/shower. There is a small home office upstairs as well, a quiet place to work away from home if necessary.

This stately home was designed by one of Penn Yan's most prominent citizens of the early 20th century, Dr. Franklin Sampson, who was a medical doctor by trade. He was also a village trustee, and a member of the New York State Assembly. Interested in the arts and architecture, he drew plans and financed the historic Sampson Theater on Elm Street.
