Step into a living masterpiece of history and modern luxury with this extraordinary Stanford White colonial revival Victorian home, built in 1892. This residence, recorded on the National Historic Registry, gracefully marries the charm of its storied past with the conveniences of contemporary living. Set on 3.3 private village acres in the heart of Cazenovia, it boasts 260’ of level lakefront, a rare find that offers serene waterfront living just a short walk from the village's vibrant shops, restaurants, and schools.

As you approach this stately home, you are greeted by an impeccably restored exterior that reflects its historic grandeur.

Upon entering, you are transported to an era of elegance and sophistication.
