32 North Church Street Cortland NY 13045 | MLS #S1721857

Rich in history and full of character, this beautifully restored 1830s home offers more than 2,100 square feet of living space, blending original architectural details with thoughtful modern updates. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot, the property features established perennial gardens that bring seasonal color and a partially fenced yard.

The main level offers a welcoming layout with spacious living areas, including a living room that flows into a comfortable sitting room with original built-in cabinetry. A distinctive home office features extensive custom bookshelves and historic trim salvaged from a church in Harford, NY. Just off the dining room, a heated bonus room, formerly a three-season porch, provides flexible space for an office, studio, or hobby room. The remodeled kitchen combines style and functionality with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a brand-new dishwasher, and a built-in beverage refrigerator. A convenient mudroom and pantry area off the rear entrance provides practical everyday storage. A first-floor bathroom adds character with classic black-and-white tile, a full shower, and a heated towel bar.

Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer room for family, guests, or additional flex space. The updated full bathroom combines vintage charm and modern comfort, featuring a clawfoot soaking tub, double vanity, separate shower, radiant heated floors, and a heated towel rack.

A rare two-story carriage house retains some of its original siding, while the upper level offers a versatile recreation space that can be heated with a propane or electric heater and cooled with a window air conditioner. A spacious detached two-car garage provides covered parking, ample storage, and potential workshop space.

The home’s distinctive layout also offers the possibility of conversion to a two-unit residence for multigenerational living or potential income-producing use, subject to local approvals. This special property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy historic character alongside modern convenience.
