Amy's Schoolhouse
Located less than 4 miles to the Dreams Park and 5 minutes to downtown Cooperstown. Excellent rental for Dreams Park, events at The Otesaga, and anyone looking to experience our charming small town. This 6 bedroom, 3 bath home sits on a 1 acre yard backed up by a lightly wooded area.
The original part of the house was a 1-room schoolhouse built in the 1800's. This home now features an open floor concept that marries vintage details with modern amenities. There are original hardwood floors (ground level), blackboards, light fixtures, a working water fountain and a claw foot tub, which all add to the character of this space. The downstairs has 15ft ceilings which make the space feel grand.
Upon entry, the open living/dining is immediately to your left. The Livingroom features a large flat-screen TV, sectional sofa and queen pull-out couch. A farmhouse table seats 8-10, plus outdoor seating available in warmer weather.
Our well-stocked kitchen is located to the back of the living/dining area and provides everything needed to make cozy home-cooked meals.
On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms off the living/dining - 1 with a king bed and one with a double bed (size up from twin). A bathroom off the hallway has a clawfoot tub with shower converter.
On the second floor, there are four bedrooms. One king bedroom with a small (single) futon and en-suite bathroom with stand-up shower. There are also 2 queen bedrooms, and a twin bedroom. There is a 2nd floor bath off the hallway with a stand-up shower. An outdoor shower is also available seasonally. The main living area and bedrooms have window AC units in the summer with exception of the twin bedroom, which boasts an industrial fan.
Please note that the double room downstairs technically accommodates two individuals, but for comfort is likely more suitable for a single adult.
For family fun and entertainment, there is a game room in a separate 840 square foot building, complete with lounge area, TV/DVD player, pool table, ping pong, Foosball, air hockey and basketball. You will also find board games, puzzles and a variety of lawn games here as well.
There is an extensive ground-level deck area with gas grill, picnic table and seating area. The outdoor shower is located just off the deck. Also available seasonally and in compliance with local burn laws, is a solo stove and Adirondack seating. In the winter outdoor furniture/firepit are placed in storage. The Gameroom does not have heat or AC.
Maximum property occupancy is 12--we do not allow any parties or events to be held. Please note this is *strictly enforced* and any additional guests will be asked to leave in order for us to remain compliant with our local ordinance.
Parking for a maximum of 4 vehicles allowed.
We (owners) are just down the road and readily available if needed!
This home was built in the 1800's and may contain lead paint. Please keep in mind you are in the country surrounded by farmland. While all efforts are made to keep bugs and rodents at bay, we cannot control this 100%. Of note the large ceiling fan and pellet stove in the living room are not operational at this time.
