Description
The Manor stands as a beacon of enchantment, a home where whimsy and magic are woven into every detail. Perched majestically on its corner lot, this 1886 Queen Anne Victorian offers panoramic views of the Mohawk Valley. This home invites you in with the promise of stepping into another world—one where time slows, and each room holds its own story, waiting to be discovered. With its intricately carved wooden spindles, the wrap around porch transports you to an era where beauty, elegance, and craftsmanship reign supreme. The porch whispers of quiet moments, morning coffees, and evenings spent watching the world go by, all while the gables and towering silhouette of The Manor stand tall above the charming town of Fort Plain, NY. Inside, the home reveals itself —each space thoughtfully conceived to evoke a sense of wonder. The grand foyer, with its elegant staircase, stained glass windows, and coffered wood ceiling, feels like the beginning of an adventure, where every turn could lead you to an undiscovered corner or hidden secret. Here, the past and present blend seamlessly, offering both modern comfort and an atmosphere intertwined with history. Meticulously curated, The Manor is completely updated and expertly designed to offer not just a home, but a lifestyle steeped in enchantment. The home is offered with every room exquisitely furnished with treasures that evoke the grandeur of bygone days, yet invite you to make your own memories. The office feels like stepping into a dark medieval tale creating a moody yet inviting atmosphere, with balloon chairs that echo Victorian thrones, a chandelier, and a grand desk that seems to hum with stories yet to be written. It’s a space designed for both work and wonder, where creativity flows freely, and the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. In the Venetian-inspired dining room, every meal becomes a feast beneath the glow of ornate chandeliers. Rich fabrics, opulent textures, and a table grand enough for lavish gatherings create an atmosphere where each dinner feels like a celebration. In contrast, the kitchen takes its cues from an apothecary—complete with a stone fireplace adorned with moss that adds an earthy, magical touch. Here, every meal becomes a creation of its own, crafted in a space where rustic charm meets modern allure. The upper floor is comprised of elegantly appointed bedrooms, each a unique blend of charm and comfort as well as a cozy seating area perfect for a quiet moment to read. The primary bathroom, a luxurious retreat, has been thoughtfully updated with a freestanding tub that beckons you to relax in elegance. Antique-inspired hardware glimmers against beautifully hand-selected wallpaper, offering the perfect blend of modern convenience and old-world charm. A second bathroom dazzles with an emerald forest design—deep greens and bronze accents transforming it into a magical woodland escape. Finishing out the second level is a bedroom that has been transfigured into a dressing room, where the spirit of Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon reigns supreme. Soft hues, delicate floral motifs, and ornate mirrors create a sanctuary fit for royalty, while plush seating invites you to linger just a little longer, lost in the beauty of it all. Outside, the carriage house stands as a nod to the home’s historical roots, while offering endless potential for customization. Whether you envision it as storage, a workshop, or something else entirely, it’s a space full of possibilities. And then, there’s the attic—a sprawling, untouched expanse waiting for you to transform it. Will it become an artist’s studio, a cozy retreat, or something more magical still? The only limits are your imagination. Not just a home— a lifestyle, where every corner is filled with enchantment, and every day brings something new to discover. Nestled close to NYS Thruway, Cooperstown, and swift connections to NYC.
