Located in the revitalized Railroad Avenue corridor of the Village of Cooperstown, this distinctive 3-4-bedroom Italianate, built in 1880, offers rare flexibility with commercial zoning and the potential for single- or two-family living (special permit required). Set on a deep 0.33-acre lot, the property provides ample space for a carriage barn, gardens, and off-street parking, with additional parking behind the building. Inside, a gracious staircase welcomes you at the front entry, complemented by original wood floors, classic woodwork, and an updated kitchen. The covered front porch enhances the home's timeless curb appeal, while the surrounding neighborhood blends thoughtfully restored storefronts, professional offices, apartments, and residences, creating a vibrant village setting. Meticulously maintained, the EXTERIOR WAS SANDED AND FRESHLY PAINTED IN AUGUST 2026, ENHANCING THE PROPERTY'S APPEARANCE. The property has also benefited from numerous improvements, including a paved driveway and parking area (2014-2015), new doors and storm windows (2015), a completely new roof (2016), masonry restoration (2018), and new flooring (2022). Currently configured as professional office space, the property presents an attractive investment opportunity. Existing tenancies generate $1,850 in monthly rental income, with the owner currently occupying approximately one-half of the available space. Whether you continue its commercial use, establish a live/work environment, or explore its residential possibilities, this property offers exceptional flexibility. Just two blocks from Main Street and within easy walking distance of Otsego Lake, Bassett Medical Center, schools, restaurants, boutique shopping, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, this remarkable property offers an exceptional opportunity to own a well-maintained historic building in one of Cooperstown's most desirable and evolving locations-perfect for investment, business, or creating a distinctive village residence.
