213 Main St Set along Main Street in the village of Richfield Springs and just a short drive from the cultural heart of Cooperstown, 213 Main Street offers the kind of upstate retreat that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Since 1861, this remarkable home has been lovingly held by only four owners, a rare distinction that speaks to its warmth, character and enduring appeal. With the timeless presence of a Victorian farmhouse and the convenience of village living, it feels both welcoming and quietly special from the moment you arrive. The main residence lives like a classic single-family home, offering generous gathering spaces, a formal dining room for long meals and conversation and comfortable living areas that encourage everyday relaxation. A separate one-bedroom apartment provides flexibility, perfect for hosting guests, welcoming extended family, or generating rental income when you return to city life. Whether enjoyed as a private escape or shared with others, the layout offers a balance of privacy and possibility. Thoughtful modern updates ensure year-round comfort, including state-of-the-art, energy-efficient heating and multi-zone central air conditioning, seamlessly blending historic charm with today's expectations. Long favored by Glimmerglass Opera visitors, the home has a history of welcoming those drawn to the area's arts, culture, and natural beauty. Set on just over a half-acre within the village, the property offers space to unwind while remaining close to shops, dining and everyday conveniences. Whether you envision quiet weekends upstate, summer evenings after performances at the Opera, or a place that works for you even when you're away, this is a rare opportunity to own a home with true soul, flexibility, and lasting appeal.
