If you’ve been looking for your own private sanctuary on the water with space and privacy, yet close to everything, then look no further. This unique home was built by regional architect Evan “Tom” Kane in 1967, with beautiful, timeless contemporary lines, high ceilings, limestone and wood contrasts, and beautiful views of the West Branch of the Limestone Creek steps from the home’s large decks. Set at the end of a private, meandering gravel road with only a few other neighbors not in direct view from the house, you enter the peaceful setting that defines this home and lifestyle. Situated thoughtfully on just under 7 acres, with over 1,500 feet of water frontage on the Creek, this property has an abundance of unique landscape features that make the lifestyle and setting truly park-like. There are 2 distinct creek-fed ponds, one with a pool built into the pond and once featured for it’s creative design in Better Homes and Gardens and regional publications. A ca.1840 barn was moved to the site near the pool and has been transformed into a year round guest house. The barn is 3 floors, with a black wrought iron spiral staircase connecting the various levels of living, with a gas fireplace and open kitchen concept, that walks out to the top yard in front, or to the pool from the lower level in the back. Perfect for in-laws, guests and company, or easily rented in the past for $1,000 a month or even short-term Air BnB as it is private and set apart from the main house. There is a treehouse for intrepid children, a basketball court, nature trails around the property that go from the ponds to the creek to the house, and a detached 2-car garage in front of the home. The home is 2,421 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, beautiful open living room with large 15 foot stone two-sided fireplace as focal point, and a 12 foot high wall of bookshelves, and doors to the screened porch and open decks overlooking the quiet creek below. There is a galley kitchen that opens over a butcher’s block counter to the dining room with 12 foot high windows framing the creek views. Off the 4th bedroom or possibly study/office is a full greenhouse as well. On the other side of the home are the bedrooms, with large master bedroom, and 2 other bedrooms, all off of a large family room with stone fireplace, skylights, roof line windows, adding extra light into the vaulted-ceiling room. The home’s south-facing roof has solar panels installed 4 years ago that offset the home’s energy consumption and will be conveyed with agreement to the new owner. This home is perfect for those looking for something unique, with space and privacy and a plenitude of features and amenities, set privately in a beautiful setting, and only one mile to the village of Manlius. Only a 20 minute commute to Syracuse University or downtown Syracuse, minutes to Green Lakes State Park and area shopping, restaurants, and other activities and attractions.
