The Rug Farm - a custom c.1956 Mid-Century Modern retreat, thoughtfully designed by Albert R. Silliman of Oneonta, with blueprints by Herbert F. Heidt of Nelson, Goldberg & Heidt - Architects, is set on ±4.7 surveyed acres of landscaped grounds, woods, stream, and waterfall. Conceived as a comfortable, easygoing home, this two-bedroom, one-and-quarter bath residence offers ±1,835 square feet of move-in-ready space with the relaxed character and indoor-outdoor flow buyers love in better Mid-Century homes. A welcoming great room forms the heart of the house, with living and dining areas oriented to views of the hills and the expansive yard. The vaulted Pacific Northwest red oak ceiling gives the room an airy, lofted feel, grounded by a brick fireplace with bread oven, custom oak built-ins, and a stone floor quarried from nearby Franklin Mountain-a combination of warm materials and clean lines that feels both timeless and inviting. The dining area is designed for lingering over meals and conversation, flowing to an efficient galley kitchen where cooking becomes part of the gathering, and out to a flagstone terrace that extends daily life outdoors for barbecues, summer evenings under the stars, and quiet morning coffee. Large Andersen casement windows bring in generous natural light and frame peaceful views of gardens, rock walls, and the surrounding wooded landscape, blurring the boundary between home and setting. Two spacious bedrooms and a freshly remodeled full bath with walk-in shower create a simple, thoughtful layout for everyday living, weekend stays, or guests. A versatile bonus room - currently a dedicated fiber arts studio - includes laundry, sink, half bath, mechanicals, wood stove, and storage that keeps the practical side of life organized, calm and uncluttered. The heated detached two-car garage, with additional storage, is ready for kayaks, bikes, tools, and seasonal gear, supporting a lifestyle that's as active or as low-key as you prefer. Outdoors, the property offers lawns, a gracious flagstone terrace, stone walls, mature perennial gardens, and a wooded backdrop of sugar maples, and red oak, with a stream and waterfall. It's a place that invites gardening, outdoor games, relaxing in the shade, and unhurried time with friends and family, all within a landscape that feels both curated and authentically upstate. The overall character of the home recalls a more relaxed era when houses were built to be lived in and loved-easy to care for, and easy to share. Convenient to Oneonta and Cooperstown, The Rug Farm sits within comfortable reach of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown Dreams Park, Cooperstown All-Star Village, the Glimmerglass Festival, SUNY Oneonta, and Hartwick College, placing you at the center of one of upstate New York's most vibrant year-round and seasonal destinations. Approximately 3.5 hours from New York City, this Mid-Century Modern home offers a relaxed, welcoming alternative to crowded resort markets-a gracious country retreat where weekends can stretch into weeks, and where the rhythm of the seasons becomes part of everyday life. Offered exclusively by Ashley-Connor Realty, The Rug Farm is ready for its next steward to enjoy, preserve, and make their own.
