About This Home
If you are frustrated by the skyrocketing home prices in the city, I have a secret to share with you. Just a short, easy drive away in the prestigious college town of Mount Vernon, there is a property that defies the laws of real estate. Located at 313 5th Avenue NW, this is a genuine historic masterpiece built in 1867Aca?!a??two years after the Civil War endedAca?!a??yet it offers a modern living experience that most new construction cannot match. The moment you step inside, you are transported. You are greeted by a breathtaking foyer featuring a "Gone With the Wind" staircase and soaring 9-foot ceilings that create an immediate sense of grandeur. But here is the "anomaly" that makes this house so special: usually, when you buy a home this old, you sacrifice storage and convenience. Not here. This home features a shocking 11 closetsAca?!a??a feature almost unheard of in the 19th centuryAca?!a??giving you more storage than many homes built today. The main level is a masterclass in blending the old with the new. You get the handcrafted original solid wood trim and charming window seats , but you also get a fully updated kitchen with cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and custom tile flooring. Unlike most historic homes that force you to run upstairs, this floor plan includes a full bathroom and a laundry/mudroom right on the main level. Upstairs, you will find four good-sized bedrooms and yet another updated full bathroom. The lifestyle here is unmatched. You are not just buying a house; you are buying into a vibrant academic community. You can walk to the Cornell College campus, stroll downtown to local shops, or visit the massive Rec Center. When you are done exploring, come home to your private sanctuary featuring an XL composite deck, a fenced backyard, and a detached 2-car garage. You get all of thisAca?!a??2,327 square feet of preserved history and modern luxuryAca?!a??for the listing price of just $315,000. This is the ultimate "drive a little, save a lot" opportunity. Do not let this piece of history slip through your fingers
