About This Home
#1220 - Southwestern Herkimer County At one time a nationally known restaurant, "The Stone House" recently had a new commercial kitchen from which the previous owner removed all appliances. There is a bright naturally lit 20x74' dining room with casement windows looking out over the landscaped countryside. It has men & women's lavatories, both new. Clear-span, this room lends itself to not only dining, but to a home-based business, up to 6 additional bedrooms, storage or performance space. And it overlooks a pond that never freezes as there is so much water entering it from the springs that give the property an unique water supply. I once clocked it at 6,000,000 gallons a day. Not large (85x105'), the pond is clear and deep with large trout swimming about. A very large landscaped lawn surrounds the buildings. Paved parking plus 2 overflow areas, enough for 50 cars. It was used most recently as a private residence. 11 dining tables with about 25 chairs remain. The home portion is an absolutely classic limestone Greek Revival home, built c.1830. Walls are nearly 3' thick. It has 4 remodeled bedrooms, 2 new full baths of it's own, the commercial kitchen area (big enough for a large kitchen coupled with a dining room), living room, and former barroom w/wood ceilings, exposed beams and stone walls along with a beehive oven. There is a dry walk-out basement under the entire building, one with windows along the south side, so it could be converted to living space if the 4016 ft2 above it were not enough for you already. There are 2 - 1000g septic tanks, 2 oil hot air heat furnaces, UV water filter/sanitizer, new gas HW heater, high speed internet, and 2 - 200 amp electrical entrances with sub panels. Windows are double-paned thermals in this portion. Water is from an amazing developed spring + a new drilled well. In the stone portion, you will find a 14.5x27.4' main kitchen (commercial vinyl tile floor w/easy-clean walls and 19 electric outlets, 18 recessed lights, 2 SS sinks and a 12' SS ventilation and fire suppressant hood), 12x14.5' downstairs bedroom w/ceramic tile floor, 14.5x15.5' carpeted living room with an unique large recessed mirrored mock fireplace with decorative lamp stands, 13.5x20.5' family room (former bar, needs floor update). The upstairs bedrooms are all carpeted: 14.5x15.5' with decorative ceiling and window wells, arched-top walk-in closet area with decorative lamp stands; 12x14.5' with decorative ceiling, walk-in closet and new bath; and 13x16' with large closet. There is a second full and newer bath upstairs along with additional storage areas. . Across the street is a 22x32' 3 car garage, in very good condition and a 30x80' pole barn that is only 19 years old. There are 905' of road frontage (2 sides, so no one can build any closer than they are now). You'll find 15 well-kept acres here, nearly all open, mostly tillable high lime land with moderate to well-drained soils, a beautiful piece of land, both in the scenic and agricultural senses. Almost everything approaches but never quite reaches flat. Two acres are in a Wetland, mostly around Steele Creek, which flows through one corner and along the far edge. This estate can be used in a variety of ways: home business, commercial (the Town told me getting the variance should not be a concern), agricultural, or residential. In addition to its restaurant days, it also once served as the first area Mennonite church, a bakery, and at another time served more than 700 meals a week for senior citizens. A snowmobile trail runs nearby, which made the bar portion popular in the winter. $399000 makes it a steal for someone who can use its special amenities - and just a really good buy for anyone else. This is only 20 minutes from the major Utica shopping areas, 1 mile to a country store. Mt. Markham schools!
