176 reiss road

Pristine 8 year old home overlooking Otsego Lake less than 6 miles to the village of Cooperstown. This inviting house is located on a private road in a nice subdivision that was developed in the 1990's. All the homes sit on large lots that were designed to take full advantage of the priceless views of Otsego Lake. This home was custom designed by the owner in conjunction with Marshall Scott Contracting LLC, a company that has specialized in building Timberpeg frame and post & beam homes for the past 30 years. Upon entering the home one is immediately drawn to the wall of windows looking out toward the lake. A wonderful mix of ceiling heights throughout the main level help create different living spaces - both intimate and grand. Enjoy two wrap-around decks - one off the dining room and the other off the first floor master suite. Upstairs is a great loft area that overlooks the living room and can be used as an office or den. Another private oversized master wing on the second floor features a bath with soaking tub, a hall of closets and a large bedroom with plenty of room for a sitting area. The basement is wonderful and bright with 10' ceilings and plenty of windows. A guest bedroom, bath with laundry, exercise or family room, and a huge two room workshop add tons of square footage. This home is perfect for a family or take advantage of one floor living and use the rest for guest space. This home is a blend of natural materials including beautiful hardwood floors, custom woodwork, slate, and Douglas Fir beams. It is extremely well constructed and insulated and is sure to make you feel like you are truly escaping every time you go home.
