For those seeking a home in one of Skaneateles' most sought after settings, 27 Leitch Avenue represents a rare and exceptional opportunity. This home holds special historical significance, as it was the first home to be "placed" on Leitch Avenue. Constructed in 1830, as part of the famed Greek Revival style mansion, Roosevelt Hall, in the late 1860's during the middle of winter, it was separated and then dragged across the frozen lake. The structure was hauled up Leitch Ave., cut into two homes and placed on previously dug three foot thick foundations. Nestled in an established neighborhood, the proximity to both the historic Village and award winning schools, make it a location with strong desirability. As you enter the home, note the comfortable Living Room with original wide plank floors, a large wood burning Fireplace w/custom Mantle, which connects to a second area with myriad possibilities. The light filled Dining Room w/ hardwood floors and floor to ceiling windows has been designed to create a formal seating space for up to 12. The Side Porch off the dining room provides a cozy spot for reading, afternoon tea, and viewing beautiful gardens and serpentine paver walkways. French style pocket doors separate the Dining Room from the large functional Kitchen w/Bar area that opens onto an expansive Deck which is perfect for cozy events or star gazing. Connected by a spiral staircase, the Upper Deck is perfect for sunning and relaxing. Back inside, the first level has an Office/Workspace w/ a large shelved closet for storage and half bath w/ custom designed sink and vanity. The second floor has two charming East-facing Bedrooms and a West facing Primary Bedroom. The main well lit Bathroom has wrap-around mirrors, custom cabinets, a large walk-in double head shower and a secondary washer and dryer. The large open Basement provides ample space for storage and houses the primary washer and dryer. There are homes you fall in love with, and life in 27 Leitch Avenue offers beauty, history and charm of Skaneateles everyday. Here, a lovingly restored historic home becomes more than a residence; it becomes a special place where memories are made and traditions continue.
